When God Does The Leading: I Rang the Bell!!
When God Does The Leading: I Rang the Bell!!
I had no idea that I would see this day, but God knew. He did not speak in my spirit as we usually do together, He was silently at work, I, was truly just the clay and He was the potter.

Now I Have OverCome Chemo #5 and Lived To Smile Again
Now I Have OverCome Chemo #5 and Lived To Smile Again
From the beginning I have described how chemotherapy has affected my body, my mental status, and my ability to endure dark, hard challenges one must face when put to the task. Survival was not a given, not even expected…yet in spite of all the torment, the torture, the agony…God has sustained me. Continue reading “Now I Have OverCome Chemo #5 and Lived To Smile Again”
Pressing Forward: I have overcome 4 Aggressive Chemo Infusions.
I remember writing that each one is different. This was #4, and as we move forward, there are things that transpire at one time, that do not follow the same timeline, so as I report the things that I endured through this infusion, I have to also disclose that, the week prior to the infusion, I went to Palliative Care, after seeing my PCP, PA, who informed me that this would be where I could learn to endure some of the side effect that kept me from eating, that affected my constant diarrhea, that kept me dehydrated, where I needed to go in for IV fluids just to keep me from succumbing to the devastating, bedridden lifestyle of which I was growing accustomed.

I Did Chemo Infusion #3 and I am here to tell it.
On Monday, Dec. 24, 2018, I had an appointment with the PA to my Oncologist, for consultation. It was the holiday, and I was able to have Christmas without being bedridden. The Chemo Infusion team only worked half a day, so patients were able to wait for chemo until the day after the blessed holiday. Continue reading “I Did Chemo Infusion #3 and I am here to tell it.”

God Inspired, Moved, and Centered My Life
I have been away from blogging since last Tuesday’s Emergency Room visit. I was very dehydrated, so I got IV infused and blood work that showed that I have(still have) pneumonia, UTI, and need to work on eating and drinking. All these are so easy to say, but when the chemo takes effect, so hard to implement. The IV gave me a new boost of energy that has lasted till now, and I have felt strong for the past week. I praise God for that. Continue reading “God Inspired, Moved, and Centered My Life”
A Brighter Day
Since I went to the ER at UVA, on Tues. Dec. 11, with the IV fluids, I was given there, I have felt so much better, thank God. It took the edge off the weakness, and aches, and body pains. It did not affect the diarrhea, and the pain that goes with that, but I am so much stronger since that night. Continue reading “A Brighter Day”
Light Into Darkness
Last Monday, Dec. 3, 2018, was my 2nd Chemo Infusion Class. I fared really well on Monday, and Tues, I was well enough to go to Dress Rehearsal for our weekend concert, as the prayers we sent up requested. God hears and answers all prayers: Yes, No, or Not Now. He sent a resounding YES!!!. Continue reading “Light Into Darkness”
Chemo Infusion #2 My Second Course
Monday I had my second chemo infusion. It went two hours less than the first. When the day was done, I felt great, an extension of the blessed week before. Praise God. I am praying that I have this entire week feeling normal enough to attend our “O Come Let Us Adore Him fifth year concert. Continue reading “Chemo Infusion #2 My Second Course”
