Feeling hopeful today. Still mixed emotions but on a better path than Sunday- It's because of your prayers. Thank You!
I feel pretty good today after my first dose of ABRAXANE treatments. There are 4 in total every 3 weeks. Then I'll have a month or so off to heal and I'll start radiation. There will be a total of 33 radiation treatments. One everyday M-F for 6 1/2 weeks.
I asked today how my Dr. would know if all this has helped and the answer was hard to hear..."Only time will tell." Once again m faith will be put the test, trusting God will cure me and living each moment as He has!
There are so many things we must have faith, even if only the size of a mustard seed- we can move mountains. Thank you God for putting that verse in the Bible.
I close today again thanking you for your prayers. I love you all, you are the people that keep me going.

Sleepy in Melbourne
Saturday, April 24, 2010
Yes, it has been a long time. I decided at 1:52 AM after sleeping most of the day from 4 PM until now that maybe I should update everyone on how things are going. I'm through with my first round of chemo and on Monday I start round two. I cannot say I’m feeling very positive about it.
Overall I’m not feeling positive. I’m tired, fatigued, exhausted, limp, sleepy, worn-out, beat, drained, bushed, and weary. That’s all the synonyms I can think of. I’m also depressed, unhappy, glum, down in the dumps, sad, and well I give up on more synonyms. I don’t really have a reason, I just feel blue.
I promised to keep this blog positive but I also have to be truthful- I feel very alone. Facebook, blogging, e-mails, calls, and cards are great but sometimes you just NEED face to face fellowship with good friends. That’s where I’m at. If I hadn’t slept the afternoon away, I could have gone to Bible study but alas Sleeping Beauty was asleep. RATS!
Relay for Life is next weekend and I’m worried sick I won’t feel well. They are also predicting rain… pray it doesn’t rain! I need to have fun. Pray also that I will feel well.
Would it be crazy of me to go to Chile in July when my 2nd round of treatments are over? I have a month or a month and a half before I start with radiation. Should I go somewhere here in the states for a mini break? Any ideas? Anyone? Cheap is the word? Maybe a cruise? That’s cheap, right? LOL.
I blew up at my mom today and my husband every other day before that. Please pray for my emotions as I am crazed and plagued by many. Why do we always take things out on those we love the most? Why can I be such an idiot? Both very good questions?
Well I have left you with many questions to help me answer, so leave your comments. Of course, I expect them to be positive, seeing I’m lacking at this moment.

Today at Lunch!
After my chemo treatment I went to lunch. Guess what? There was a group of about 50+ Seniors. I went to the director and asked if I could make an announcement and asked for donations....I received $94 in 5 minutes. Do NOT be afraid to ask, there are opportunities all around us. Just send me the checks made out to the... American Cancer Society and they will go towards my teams goal of $2,500!
It's so hard being so shy! LOL
