One Year on Chemo

I have been on chemo for a year now. Most people think this is waaay long. What I have learned is that treatments differ for each kind of cancer. For me it is now a way of life. It is a blessing. This is what God is using to sustain my life. This has allowed me to live a normal life and continue to work. The other part of the formula are the prayers. I have heard from so many of you that continue to pray for me, sometimes I am moved to tears. Thank you, thank you so very much.

In June I go through the scans. If things look good to the doctor, he will recommend chemo for another 3 months. The longer I stay on the treatment, the better for me. And I continue to be aware of how fortunate I am to be at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. Everything there from the reception, the blood work, staff morale, to the setting of the infusions, is top notch. Patients come from other states and other countries for treatment. And I can get there in 15 minutes. Yes, we have been blessed.

Again, I cannot say it enough, thank you for your concerns and prayers.
