Happy Fall

So much has happened in so little time. I guess that is why cancer can be so overwhelming but with God I haven't felt that way lately. I had to change the Arimidex I was taking. My doctor gave me two samples of other medications that do the same thing but may not cause the side effects. I'm to try them for two weeks each and then choose which one fits me best. I am praying one of them will be the "one". I also had blood drawn for the research study I'm participating in. If you haven't heard about this yet I found it through the "Army of Women" website I asked my girlfriends to join. I'm also going to participate in another study through Moffitt Cancer Center for patients taking Zometa. I take my first dose of this medicine next Friday, November 5^th. I'm going to get an MRI of my back as the area that was radiated has started to cause me pain again and a PET SCAN to see if my cancer has spread anywhere else, shrunk or whatever. I'm scheduled November 24^th, the day before Thanksgiving, for surgery to get my expander put in on my right breast and start stretching the skin so I can get my right booby by January or February 2011. LOL- YEAH!!! WOW was that enough info. For one posting or what?!?! Do me a favor- in this crazy world we're living in where Halloween gets more importance than Thanksgiving- STOP and take a moment to thank God with your family for all the many blessings we all have in our lives: A Savior, family, friends, a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, a church to worship God, vehicles to get us from point A to point B, food in abundance that fill our tables, you fill in the rest…

Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
