I forgot to mention the BIGGEST BLESSING so far .. my PET and CT scans came back - there is no other cancer found at this point!! This chemo will kill any cancer that was not detected on those tests and I should be cancer FREE :-)
God is my healer!
Don't want to make this too short :-) Just thought you would like to know that day one is above and beyond my dreams! I have some nausea but I haven't needed a bowl yet! I'm tired but no more than every morning when the alarm goes off. I feel truly BLESSED!
I am not living in a fantasy land - I realize the next days could be worse and with each treatment my body will not be able to handle it as well - but GOD tells me to live in the moment and I FEEL GREAT! He will help me in the days and months when I must live for that day.
SO, here's to another day to live for my Lord - and to enjoy this beautiful SUNSHINE!!!!!!

I am enjoying very much reading your blog. Your walk with the Lord is precious and beautiful and I am so glad that you are sharing it with me and everyone else who reads it.
I want, so very much, for you to never feel "sick" or even loose your hair. I want Him to supernaturally protect you from all those things. That's what I want. . .but He has His best plans for you and if that means feeling sick and thinning hair - then I must submit my love for you to be accepting of whatever He wills. Who am I to know better than Him what is best for you and how He wills to use one of His most beautiful daughters for His Kingdom?
This prayer teaches me how to pray for you.
"But I entrust Donna to God. He
who made Donna knows better what is
needed than a woman like me.
I lay no conditions. I fix not ways or means.
"LORD, send what Donna needs, I pray, storm or
sunshine, wind, rain or frost. Thou hast made
Donna and Thou doest know."
And I know the courage I see in you. I know that you love Him so much that You will even hand over your physical body to Him to do as He wishes. How great is your faith!! You trust Him body and soul. Can that be said of me? I can probably never truly know until I would walk a mile in your shoes.
You are beautiful and wonderful Donna. I know that He rejoices over you with singing. My prayer is that you would always be able to hear His amazing Voice singing to you.
