Induction Chemo Finished


December 23, 2016



Up, up, and away!
     It has been a while since my last post.  We went on vacation and it took me a while to get back to my regular schedule. 😉 Mexico was a relaxing time spent with our friends Bob and Karen.  I parasailed for the first time - it was like flying, I loved it!  We spent a lot of time under the palapas on the beach not doing much . . . it was great!

     I am done with my Induction Chemo!!  I am now off treatment for 2 weeks. I feel like a kid on Christmas break! I am overwhelmed with the love sent my way these past 18 weeks since I was diagnosed.   Thank you so much for your support in encouragement and prayers. You have made a huge difference in my treatment for the good. Thank you so much.  Wait a minute, did I say 18 weeks? . . .has it really only been 18 weeks??  Hum, it seems like a lot longer, . . . well - when I think about what is next. . .😧 I think that 18 weeks flew by! 

     I need/want to get a wig for when my hair falls out.  Thankfully, my insurance will pay for it as long as I get one from an in network supplier.  Unfortunately, the closest supplier is about 600 miles, round trip, away.  After several calls to my insurance, getting different information with the same inquiry, I came upon an avenue that looked like it would pan out.  Panning out through the insurance company, though, is still jumping through ridiculous hoops.  Long story short, I got permission to use a supplier in Chicago and just in time.  Stephanie, Kerstin and I took a day trip to the big city this week and came home with a beautiful wig.  It was very helpful to have their input.  I am so thankful for God’s provision and timing.

I want to thank you for taking time to read my blog.  Your prayers and concern mean so much to me and I value each one of you.  I am praying this Christmas season you will have time to reflect on the goodness of God and enjoy memorable times with your family and friends.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
