Number 12 - the final chemotherapy

Number 12 Chemotherapy is infusing. I will finish this infusion and have the pump removed late this afternoon.

With this treatment, I complete the coarse of chemotherapy! There have been reductions in initial dosing, delays with low blood counts, and stoppage of one agent due to side effects. In spite of all of this, I was able to complete the coarse of 12 treatments.

I will see the Doctor in two months, then follow up every three months. This is a transition into an uncharted area. We truly wait upon the Lord for His healing at this time.

In the past seven plus months, so many of you have stood with us and supported us in numerous ways. Some have weeded our yard, planted flowers, cooked meals, sent cards, knitted prayer shawls, run a triathlon, baked cookies, fasted and more. Each expression of love has been appreciated. You have truly ministered to us. Most of all we appreciate your prayer support during these months. The Word of God is alive and we claim His promises for LIFE.

"They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

We wait upon the LORD.

  1. Hurray, your last chemo!! That's a huge milestone. I continue to pray for good results and return of your strength. God is good--all the time. I have been cancer free now for 15 months! Neal will finish his last chemo on Oct. 1!
    On the journey with you,
    Trish
