Wearing Down

Well, this week I finished treatment 3 of 12 for this cycle of chemo. The treatments are starting to make me feel really run down. It seems like all I do anymore is sleep. Today I ventured to Walmart to get little one a new nightlight. Now I'm really tired. I'm trying really hard not to get depressed from being so run down. I've decided I'm going to try to push myself to get out of the house a little more to try to boost morale. If I don't, I'm going to go crazy in this house. Wish me luck!

A New Year

Well, the holidays are over. I was blessed with the opportunity to spend the holidays with my family. I had chemo three days before Christmas, but didn't let that get in the way of enjoying my time back home. Since getting back to Birmingham, things have been......emotionally difficult. Last week two beautiful people in my life who were also fighting cancer went home to be with our Lord. Both were strong in their faith, and I know both are in Heaven now. Still, saying good bye was difficult. The day after burying both, however, I was blessed to hear another friend of mine is going to have a baby. The cycle of life begins again. This good news gave me a renewed fight in my battle as we prepare for cycle two of treatment, which will begin next week. I'm fighting a lot of fatigue, but we seem to have the nausea under control for the most part. So overall I'm doing well. Still fighting the fight and, according to my doctor, we're WINNING!!! Let's keep up the prayers and keep winning!
