Mark and I met with Dr. Aggarwal this morning, and we are going to “stay the course” with my current chemo treatment for another month. She gave us several options, which included trying another chemo, but we decided to continue what I’ve been taking to see if it works. If there’s not enough positive result in a month, we’ll change the drug combinations then. She’ll probably also schedule another scan in July to see how the treatment is working.
I’m feeling pretty good but still dealing with pain in my pelvis area. I also start taking the Xeloda again this week, so we’ll see how it goes.
This is a very busy month for our family. The girls are in Vacation Bible School at our church every morning this week, and they’re attending Girl Scout camp in Markle every afternoon this week. Next week, Shelby and I take off for a week of church camp at Lake James (I’ll be a dorm mom), and the next week I’m going with Savannah for her first trip to church camp at Lake James (3 days). I’m somewhat nervous about going to camp while I’m on drugs and having pain, so please pray for my stamina.
It’s really important to both Mark and I that I spend as much time as possible with the girls, so camp will be a great experience. I attended camp as a kid at Lake James and always loved it. The girls are really excited, and they actually want me to attend! Whitney also attended camp when she was little, but she never wanted me there to bother her. This is a nice change!
Thanks for your prayers and comments. We love you.
