Hello,
Eleven down and one more Chemo treatment to go.....Yeh!
The blood test came back okay to proceed with the Chemo treatment.
I also had an Echo Cardiogram test yesterday. Heart still beating and I don't think it showed any problems but the test results will go to the Doctor and he will report the findings to me then.
Now I only have one more treatment left and then I will have a Pet Scan to see if the treatments did all that they were supposed to do. I will then visit with the Oncology Doctor and the Surgeon. The surgery should be some time in September.
Thank you for all your prayers and please continue to pray all goes well.
God Bless you all,
Marilyn

10th Chemo of Round 2--Friday
Hello again,
My sister Barb brought me in for my Chemo treatment, and stayed and visited with me for the entire treatment. We had a good visit and the treatment went very well. No problems.
I now only have two treatments left... :)
My brother David picked me up after the treatment and drove me home. We had a good trip and a nice visit.
Gary, Gino, Aliette and the girls arrived home later. They had a nice time in Canada.
I am still feeling very well and feel so blessed. God is Good!
Again I thank you all for your prayers. I can see their results, and see God answering them and caring for me. It gives my a very joyous feeling.
God Bless you,
Marilyn

Dr visit & Blood test--Thursday
Hello,
Gary and our visiting friends dropped me off at the Doctor's on Thursday morning, and then they headed to Vancouver BC for some fun and relaxation.
The Doctor visit went well with no new problems. Still little low on potassium so just need to take a pill once a day for that. Visit with him after chemo treatments and the Pet Scan test is done. Then I will also have a visit with the surgeon to find out the plans for that and the date.
My sister Barb picked me up and we got to visit with our brother Dale, sister-in-law Kathy and niece Trisha. We had a good time, and then I went home with Barb and spent the night with Barb and Denny.
It was a very good day.
I thank God for all my wonderful family, my friends and prayer warriors.

9th Chemo of Round 2-Friday
Hello,
Well another successful chemo treatment completed. No bad side effects thanks to all your prayers.
I only have 3 treatments remaining and then more tests and then surgery some time in September.
This week we have company coming; they are some of our Haitian friends. They now live in Montreal, Canada. We met Aliette on our first trip to Haiti back in the nineties. She is now married and has 3 lovely daughters. Her husband is a pastor, and he will be preaching here at our church in Packwood tomorrow. We are so excited. :)
In addition to your faithful continued prayers for Gary and me, please pray for our friends to have a safe trip and for us all to have a good time together.
God Bless you,

8th Chemo of Round 2 - Friday
Hello,
Well once again my blood tests came back good and successfully completed another chemo treatment. I now have 4 treatments left. Then more tests and move on to have my surgery.
The surgery won't be until some time in September because they want to give my body a rest after the chemo treatments.
I am still experiencing a little numbness in my toes and feet and a little in my thumbs which is a side effect from the treatments.
Once again thank you for all your prayers.
I would like you to continue to pray for the successful chemo treatment.
The medical people that are doing such a good job of caring for me.
For Gary who is such a wonderful husband and caregiver though all of this.
Pray the side effects stay minimal and that I will have no lasting effects from them.
God Bless you,
Marilyn

Seventh Chemo of Round 2 ... Friday...
Hello again,
Well I am now on the 2nd half of the second round of chemo treatments... 5 more to go. Then on to the next steps... more tests and then surgery. Surgery will likely be in September.
The treatment went well as usual. After my treatment last week I noticed I was experiencing some numbness in my toes and the balls of my feet. That is one of the things they ask about, so I let them know and they immediately adjusted one of the ingredients in the chemo for that. I am just amazed at how fast they are at making things happen. My potassium level was a little low, so I am now taking pills for that.
Thank you for your prayers and may God Bless you all,
Marilyn
