Mental Set Back

Ok, for some reason, treatment #7 was NOT Donna friendly. I have fatigue again – the kind you aren’t sure if you can walk across the room. I have a tongue full of sores and cuts. I have pain in my bones. I’m a little nauseous – not bad though. So, this was a mental set back. The last two were so painless I just assumed that this week would be easy too. You can tell by how much I have on my calendar to do this week – that won’t get done. SO yes, I’m a little down today!

Like I’ve said in the past, it’s Ok to be down – we are human. What may not be right is how long I stay down and what I do with it!!! So, I’m praising God for the good days that are right around the corner – I’m praising God that the LAST chemo treatment is approaching – and I’m praising God that since the only thing that helps my cut up tongue is COLD ICE CREAM so I am allowed to get a cone from McDonalds!

So, I wanted to share with you all where I stand today – not one of my best days – but it will get better! I thank you for your prayers and supports on these “off” days. This has been a LONG journey but it’s coming to the end. I just must persevere these last couple of weeks!

Once again, God shows me that in my WEAKNESS, HE IS STRONG! He is holding me and giving me the energy and hope that I needed for today to help me see tomorrow!
