“The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.” Psalm 34:17
I had my blood work done yesterday, and it came back good, so I had my second chemo treatment today….more about that later.
I also had an exam done by my oncologist yesterday. The news was great! My tumors have shrunk! When she first checked the tumors, she figured they were about 4 cm each. She checked them again yesterday, and figured they are only about 2 cm (if that!) She was very happy with that, and so were we! The chemo is doing what it is supposed to do! The plan remains the same….7 more rounds of chemo. Praise the Lord!
Today was my second round of chemo. It took the nurses about a hour of poking and prodding to get an ‘adequate’ vein this time. The nurse I had last time told me I had good veins, so I’m not sure what happened. Once the IV was in, I was again given the anti-nausea medication, and then the three drugs. So far, I feel fine, just a little tired.
My next appointment is February 23rd for blood work and another exam, and February 24th for chemo.
‘Till next time…..

Oh Marvin and Evelyn...YES, YES, YES!!!! Praise the Lord indeed :) We are so thankful that the chemo is doing it's job. What a blessing. Even though there are side effects, it is great that the desired outcome is AWESOME!!!! I meant to ask you on Monday night about this coming week for you, but facemasks and embarrassing stories sidetracked me:) We hope that this round of chemo continues to shrink those tumours and that the side effects continue to be minimal. We will continue to keep you both in our prayers!

So glad you're doing so well, but sad I missed your call tonight! :(
Have a good sleep and talk to you soon!
Good news!
ReplyDeletere: veins -- I've had that before when my body was under stress ... and I know my mom has had that many times -- have never seen so many bruises as after nurses have poked & prodded her to get an IV in!!
Wishing you all the best -- thanks for the updates!
