The Treatment Plan

For the cancer I've got there is a specific treatment plan. I do this and the odds are 90% I will never see this cancer again. Here's what will take place:
Radiation: There will be approximately 33 radiation treatments aimed at my pelvic area. They began July 5 and will conclude at approximately August 18th.
Reaction: First third: No issues. Second third: Discomfort. Final third: Increasing discomfort, culminating in 'brutal'.
Chemotherapy: There will be two courses of treatment. The first was started on July 5. The second will begin August 1st.
Reaction: First course produced nasty mouth sores, an overall sludgey feeling and 'chemo brain'. At least I know what to expect for the second course, and can make some plans.

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Baby Steps

How big is it to have done these things today:
  • Swept the bathroom. (No, toilets is not a baby step.)
  • Vacuumed abut 20% of the living room, and dusted.
  • Caught up personal bookkeeping!! (But not medical bills. Med. bills is not a baby step. Note, no worries, the bills are paid for, just need to be accounted for.)
It helped that I only had one nap.
Two people said I had more color than last they saw me.
Saw Dr. H. He continues to be delighted with my progress in healing, particularly the radiation burn area.

God works miracles - works only God can do - in all of us every day.
In me, today, more healing.
Thank you, God for your abundant blessing of healing, and for financial provision!

Onward, in Christ.
