finished with second cycle of chemo

This morning I had my last chemo treatment in cycle #2! It went smoothly and I got to sit in a chair that was right by the window and I really enjoyed the warmth of the sun shining in! Greg brought me home and I slept for three hours and I'm still very droopy feeling. Not sick! Just droopy. I get to enjoy time off from chemo till Sept. 22! That's when cycle #3 begins. I will have a cat scan next Friday afternoon and the doctor will be able to tell me the results of that when I see him Sept. 22. I'm expecting that the tumors are shrinking because my breathing is so much improved. But I still feel a little anxious about it. My treatment will either continue with chemo once a week, or he'll have a different plan of attack. I just have to wait and see.

Georgette works in the preschool with Emily at Fernan and she brought a wonderful Italian dinner for tonight! We felt so spoiled! It was delicious!

I read the coolest verse this morning, Zephaniah 3:17:
"The Lord your God is with you; the mighty one will save you. He will rejoice over you. You will rest in his love; he will sing and be joyful about you."

It's so amazing to think about how much God loves us. Thank you for your love and prayers.
Love, Julie
