Jane Austen Fun

What a wonderful weekend we had with Janice here from Billings, and Liz driving up from Pasco with her kids! A definite hightlight was watching "Pride and Prejudice" with Janice, Liz, and Emily Saturday night. It was a major miracle for just the four of us to own the TV and the living room to enjoy our girl movie. So fun to sigh and gasp simultaneously. "Oh, that's the way love should be!"

I'm trying not to feel sad that Janice has to go back to her own life in Billings this afternoon. She has been such a blessing these past few days. The news we got from the doctor Thursday was disappointing to me and it's been so amazing to have Janice here to share my feelings with. She sat with me at chemo yesterday and we did some shopping afterwards when I was still loopy and couldn't tell my right from left. Somehow we managed to get where we were trying to go!

The pills haven't been approved by my insurance company yet. That's why I had to receive the drug at the cancer center intravenously yesterday. Once the pill is approved, I'll just take it daily. In two months I'll have another cat scan and meet with the doctor.

I'm learning more and more about this whole cancer thing. Lung cancer is really the pits. I feel like God has been in control of this whole process of learning just enough to get me through each day. It's when I start to think about next month or next week that I have to ask for faith not to worry. I know He loves me more than I can imagine and I just have to trust Him.

I'm so grateful for your continued prayers. It just amazes me when I hear about people who read this blog. I so appreciate all of you. Love, Julie
