Hi All!
Sorry I've been away! Have been busy and not much time to sit down. Just to give you an update; I had another Avastin infusion last Friday and have been taking a new "maintenance" medication daily. I think between the 2, I have been experiencing the fatigue the pamphlet warned about. It comes and goes, but overall I have felt pretty good.
For those that are interested in knowing, I have been undergoing chemotherapy over the last year for a recurrence of breast cancer. It has been one LONG roller coaster ride. Thankfully, I have been able to work (I have to have health insurance!!) and my employer has been extremely understanding. At this point, my doctor is treating me as a chronic condition. I never thought I would be in this boat, but here I am. I am trying to stay positive and keep the faith! All the sayings about "taking one day at a time" fit me! I have to say I have a great support group and we all can identify with the same feelings. I have wonderful friends who keep in contact and my friends at church have lovingly brought meals.
I'll try to do better at keeping you posted. Thanks for checking in with me!
Hope you all have a great day!

Oh, my! I got her from Grace's blog--and I want you to know that your courage has inspired me already! Faith IS what counts!! It's the EVIDENCE! I so love seeing people who are not ashamed of their faith in God/ A friend of mine has lived for 15 years now, after finding she had "incurable " lung cancer--never give up--she has done lots of research on her own, she and her husband have devotionals everynight together, and we pray for her. Never be shamed to say you're down-but you're NOT out!! Hope---it's always here!
