They say... they say... Breast Cancer, April 21, 2011. I say the Promise of New Day. I say I'm holding fast to my GOD'S unchanging hand. My wish is for this blog to be one of hope, renewed commitment to CHRIST, and a light for others to see the hope and life I see.

Home Round Five of Six Another Divine appointment
Met a wonderful girl in the Infusion room! God put her there! She was so positive and so upbeat! Made my day! My chemo injects look something like this... I go in (the earlier you get there, the better the seat, if there is such a thing!) Next they set up with my port and call the pharmacy to let them know I am there and ready. I'm hooked up to anti-nausea medications. I usually call for breakfast. After the anti-nausea medications, I'm hooked up with 2 more anti nausea medications. After those the chemo. Drug 1 (Taxotere), then drug 2 (Carboplatin) and last drug 3 (Herceptin). I fall asleep right after I eat, and when I first started I wondered how comfortable the chairs would be, but they are NICE. Two pillows and two warm blankets! The afternoon after chemo varies, today I was TIRED! all those medications! Somedays I'm not too tired. I have the best group of nurses and love them all so much! They take the best care of me and I really honestly couldn't have asked for a better group of people! Today was another God given appointment. After chemo my aunty Eliza and I went into town via Anchorage city bus and shopped for a little bit at 5th Avenue Mall. We took another bus to ANMC (Hospital) We thought we'd make it int time for the airport shuttle, but it only comes every hour with the next bus set to come at 6:PM. Our plane was departing at 7:PM. I told her lets just take a cab. As we were walking out to the parking lot I prayed, God knows what He's doing. No cabs, but here walking across the parking lot...my brother in the Lord Ryan! Man some good words of encouragement. I sat and talked with him for a few minutes and then his sister Vanessa pulled up. We chatted and she asked what we were doing I told her we were waiting for the shuttle, she just said, let me take you. WHAT A BLESSING! We got to visit and laugh! LAUGHTER DOTH GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE! We made it on time for the plane and even had enough time to make a few stops at the airport! God is good and when we go with His plans he blesses us! I pray a blessing on Ryan, Vanessa, David, Janelle, Pauline, Tina (and her family) and Dale and Kevin and his family!
