I've been so blessed to not experience extreme side affects from chemo. I have felt so good the last few days. Breathing is great...energy seems to be increasing. But today was the pits. I had a little pitty party for myself...I feel nauseated, exhausted, and my hair is falling out. I feel like I'm shedding.
But Carolyn and Rob and Amanda and Maddie are visiting and they are such a fun bunch. They really lift my spirits. And Jake is here and he's been very thoughtful and helpful. (Greg is in Oregon this weekend.)
Thank goodness, my life is in God's hands! I can't imagine going through this without faith in Christ. "The LORD is great and worthy of our praise; no one can understand how great He is!" Psalm 145:3
Thank you for your prayers. Love, Julie

Hi Julie,
Just want you to know that "pity parties" in my opinion are entirely allowed and actually encouraged from time to time to blow off steam. As long as it doesn't last too long and you come out of it with a renewed sense of determination and faith that it's going to be OK. The sense of despair about the hair I entirely understand, but I read that you're going wig shopping, so that too will be OK. Look on the bright side, getting ready to go somewhere will be much faster as there's no more hair dryer and curling iron for awhile. It's been great keeping up with you and your family on the "blog".
Thinking about you, Debbie (Camp)

Hi Julie,
David & I just want you to know that we're praying for you. Thanks so much for this blog. I'm going to pass it on to Diane & Ken. I know that they are praying for you also. I'm not sure what to say, except you & Greg have always been very special people. I also appreciate your honesty.
Lots of love in Christ,
Linda Baker
Mom, I love you and I'm so sorry that yesterday was a tough day. I am glad today was better though. Going to Les Miserables was really wonderful. Not a real make you laugh kind of show, but it was so nice to lose ourselves in the story for a few hours. I am glad that you are able to share how you are feeling. I love you very much. Love, Emily
