Monday I had trouble keeping the "half-full" attitude because I knew that Tuesday I would have to start chemo again and I had been enjoying my feeling great days. But I'll continue to be thankful for those days and to take full advantage of them! When I was feeling so good I amost forgot I had cancer. Two different times I almost forgot to take my heparin shots.
But now I'm back to the reality of "Oh yeah, I have cancer." Yesterday was actually pretty good. I got to see both of my doctors and they were both very happy with my progress! Dr. Tezcan said "Wow! No wheezing today!" I got one of the good chairs for chemo! One of the kind that have heat and massage. Things go much more smoothly now that we're all getting used to the heparin scheduling etc. Dr. T said that heparin will always be a matter of adjustments and challenging to regulate. But I'm so thankful that it is working so far!
After weeks of not feeling like eating, my appetite returned about two weeks ago and I have had a craving for donuts and chips. My house is so full of junk food right now! I think the craziness is subsiding and I'll have to give all that junk food to the Russell kids.
Greg and I appreciate your prayers and your encouragement. I am so thankful that I have never felt alone in this challenging time in my life. I've always had the Lord right there beside me and so many friends and people that care. Love, Julie
