Sorry that I haven’t posted for a while, . but my life has been fairly uneventful lately, and I haven’t been feeling 100% for quite a while. I’m no longer having chemo through an infusion, but my doctor prescribed a chemo drug that I take by four pills per day. There are some side effects of this drug that are not so pleasant, relating to my bowels, and my appetite has dropped even more than before.
We saw the doctor on Tuesday this week, and my red blood count was really low, so she prescribed a blood transfusion. That day I received two pints of blood upstairs from the doctor’s office in Parkview’s infusion center. We were there from 8:30 – 4:30, so it was a long day. I felt really bad for Mark who had to sit with me the whole time with just a TV (with no good channels) and nothing to eat. He finallly left for lunch and went to visit a local hardware store, his favorite activity right now. I feel better after the infusion, but I’ve had trouble sleeping and having energy during the day all week. I hope this goes away soon.
We’re getting ready for the holidays like everyone else, but a lot of my projects are on hold or only partially completed. I am having a lot of trouble just getting through a typical day and doing normal activities without becoming exhausted. Not much fun for me or my family.
Please pray that these odd symptoms will clear up, and that I’ll have more energy to fully participate in the holiday activities with my family.

Sandy, my prayers are with you. My Mom has stage 4 lung cancer and even though she was pleased to see everyone this Thanksgiving, she had no energy to join in much. We told her not to worry if things don’t get done, just sit back and enjoy your family. Hoping you do the same and have a wonderful holiday season.–Jill
Sandy,
I pray daily for you, Mark & your girls. Certainly pray that you will have strength for Christmas family get togethers. God is with you each and everyday.
