Hi everyone!
Well, I'm almost done with chemo and I can't say thank you enough for all your prayers and kind words of encouragement. I'm also so thankful for the all the meals and support given to our family! What an incredible blessing in such a tough time!
On Wednesday comes my 5th chemo treatment...woowhoo! I'm almost done, with this part at least. ;) With having had 4 treatments it seems as though the side effects have intensified. The effects of chemo are coming on sooner and are lasting longer. Please, pray that with the Lord's strength I'll get through these next 2 treatments without such harsh side effects.
Thankfully, I was able to get my port put in before my last chemo and that is working great! I saw my surgeon last week and we discussed surgery a little more further. He definitely suggests having a bilateral mastectomy as well as having my ovaries removed, because of my family history. I will meet with him mid December to schedule the mastectomy. During that surgery they will take a few of my lymph nodes to check and see if there are any microscopic cancer cells there. If they do find some, I will have to have radiation as well. Please, pray that there are no other cancer cells found.
I really am so thankful to be almost done with chemo, with only 2 more to go. I could have only done this with my faith in the Lord. He has brought me through this and I know He will get me through all my surgeries to come. Through this He has given me such amazing peace. "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your heart and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
Thank you again for your prayers, love and support. We have also posted new needs on the calender.
Love and Blessings,
Melanie
