No news is good news.....

I've been reminded yet once again to update my blog :)  There really hasn't been anything to post so I've figured "no news is good news".  I've had my chemo every other week--with labs at the hospital every week.  I have my normal follow up appointment with my doctor the middle of next week so we will see what he says.  My treatments have been going great with no side effects and I feel really good.

Last week Simon and I bought a Vitamix.  We have heard so many good things about them and everyone we know that has one LOVES it.  Well, I do too.  Since we purchased it I have had a smoothie every day!!  I've also made soup and sherbet too--all with healthy ingredients.  Some of the smoothies I've made look really gross (cause I add spinach, etc...) but they are very tasty!! :)  Easy to make & easy to clean.  I'm one happy girl!!

May you have a blessed weekend--remember to change your clocks on Sunday!!

Another update....

Last Friday I had another CT scan.  I got the results faxed to me and when I read over the report the news didn't look good.  The report stated that I had progression in the cancer in my bones....or at least that is what I thought.  I called and talked with my sister, Lanissa, and she said she would pray that I read the report wrong.  I had an appointment with my doctor this past week and sure enough the report wasn't the bad news that I had expected.  My doctor told me that my cancer levels are continuing to drop.  They are now down to 484! (The last level was 758)   The CT scan was not clear about the progression of cancer in my bones.  It did state that there were "sclerotic lesions" which my doctor explained to me were lesions that were healing.  The Lord answered my sister's prayer--I had read the report totally wrong!

My doctor decided to add another medication to my chemotherapy.  It's a drug called Zometa and it is supposed to help strengthen my bones.  I had my first dose on Friday and overall feel pretty good.  There are some side effects after the treatment--slight fever, flu-like symptoms, some bone pain but should go away within the week.

We are continuing to pray for complete healing but thanking the Lord for another good report!

God is good ALL the time!
