My insurance approved the chemo drug and it arrived in the mail today so I will be starting tomorrow. I will take it for 2 weeks then off 1 week, etc.... Pray that it will do it's job and reduce & get rid of the tumors in my liver without any major side effects.
I'll keep you posted.....

Update
Sorry it has been a while since I've updated my blog. Thank you Lisa Marie for reminding me that I needed to do so!! :)
I had a good time in Mexico with my mom. Treatments went well and I always seem to feel better when I am down there. My doctor in Mexico and my oncologist here have both recommended that my protocol will change so I will be starting an oral chemotherapy as soon as it is approved by my insurance (I'm guessing I will start sometime this week--next week at the latest). The last few days haven't been the greatest for me. I get tired really easily, doing the simplest of tasks and I've been fighting a fever the last few days as well. Thank you all for your continued prayers for me--specifically if you could pray that I would not feel tired and that my fevers would go away. I just take one day at a time, continuing to ask the Lord to completely heal me.
On an exciting note, Simon and I have been planning a return trip to Europe with our good friends, Daniel & Ani. We plan to leave the end of May (a happy birthday present to me) and will be going to Rome, Italy and Paris. I am so excited!! We booked our plane tickets this weekend! Please pray that the chemo works well and that the side effects are minimal so I can go and enjoy the trip!!
Again, thank you all who have continued to faithfully uphold me in your prayers. Especially on my worst days, I know that people have been praying for me--and that means so much to me & Simon.
Until next time.....
