So important to take good care of yourself. For 4 years I put off going to the doctors for my annual exam. I always found a reason, I was to busy, it's not that important I will do it later, I am not going to have cancer, etc. I say all this hoping it will help someone even just one person. Don't put off your doctor visits. Preventive is the answer. If it is one of our loved ones we would make sure they go to the doctors, well we have to take care of ourselves as well.

My son asked me tonight why I walked slow and Daddy and him were faster. I explained I had a doctors appointment and was taking medicine to make me better and I would be fast again. Our children are smarter that we think and they notice everything. Next week I will be in the hospital a couple of days and away from my son. This is going to be hard but I have to change the way I look at it and know I am investing in my future with him.

No need to Worry

No need to worry

Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth.

Colossians 3:2 NLT

Worry is the interest paid on trouble before it falls due.

It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Worry is rust upon the blade.

Wednesday is finally here, my last chemo treatment! Yesterday I had my pre op for my Internal Radiation treatment. I found out my tumor is about 40% smaller, so the treatments are working. I just have to hang in there a little longer. To tell you the truth on Monday I was ready to quit. I just did not think I could go any further. I was so tired with no energy. Getting dress was even difficult. Tuesday was alot better.

I am trying to get myself ready for my hospital stay next week. I have to go in at midnight and have surgery to implant the interal radiation and will be there for 2 days laying flat with my head only up at a 45% angle. No visitors allowed. I will be able to talk on the phone and I am taking my laptop. I don't know what else to bring to keep me busy. Sure am going to miss my little man.

One thing I have learned out of all this is to trust God, there is nothing I can do at all. When you go thru something like this you have choices on how you are going to handle it. I have learned there are things in life we cannot control and it is so much better to let someone more qualified handle it on your behalf. I just do what I am told and trust. I know He holds the future. I don't know what or how I would get thru this if I did not have Christ as my personal Savior.

My outlook on everything and everyone has changed. I do know we need more compassion for one another. Remember not to be so hateful or short with one another. Give people the benefit of the doubt you never know what that person is going thru. A little kindness goes further than one could even imagine. If Christ be in us we have all the power in the world to love and we are commanded to love others as Christ loves us. (A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 13:34)

I pray you all have a super blessed day and that my chemo goes well today with no reactions.

It is Monday, my last week of out patient chemo and radiation. This weekend I have to say was the toughest. Sunday I was in the bed all day, tired and no energy but could not sleep. Seems like the after effects hit me around Sunday. Carter had been sick this weekend too, so that might have had something to do with it.

I am so ready to do something, hoping today is a better day energy wise. I do have a Mary Kay Event tonight and have several guest attending "Spa Night". This will give me something to look forward to, I might have to have someone drive me though.

Don't have much to post these days. I did enter some sweepstakes last night, you can see them in my post if you want to enter also. I had to do something with my time I was so bored yesterday.

Have a super blessed Monday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Holiday. It has been pretty relaxed around here. A total different atmospere. I am so use to being on the go and now I actually relax. Last weekend I was starting to feel out of touch and lonely. Thanks to some great friends this week was alot better. I had lunch out 3 times this week and it felt great to get out and visit.

Great news this week, my last chemo treatment is Wednesday and my last radiation treatment is Friday. Then I have 2 hospital admissions to receive liquid radiation then I should prayerfully be done and cancer free.

My little boy has been sick all day. So he will go to the doctors in the morning. Prayerfully it will not hit me, somethings you just cannot avoid.
