Hi All! It's been a while so I thought it was time for another update. We had a fabulous Thanksgiving with a lot for which to be thankful! I've always really liked Thanksgiving...it's a low key holiday with none of the pressure to "be merry" or perfect gift expectations. Instead, it's a chance to gather with friends and family, eat lots of good food and be grateful for our blessings. (Plus I love all the pumpkin and pilgrim decorations! They are just so cute!) This year, our list of things for which we are thankful was a little different.....we were thankful for an excellent oncologist, for all the love, support and prayers of everyone throughout this ordeal and for the way God has placed so many "medical" people in our live to help answer our questions. Our Pastor had a great sermon Thursday morning where he pointed out we are told to to be thankful IN all circumstances, not necessarily FOR all circumstances. I can honestly say I don't know that I'll ever be thankful for cancer. But, we can be thankful for the way God takes care of us through our trials. And, that is something for which we are, well, thankful!
Chemo #2 happens this Thursday. This appointment will be proceeded by labs where they will check several things to make sure I'm healthy enough for another session. Please pray that everything will be okay so we can continue with treatment. I'm also grateful for a really good past week! I'm hoping that now that I've gone through this once, I'll know a little bit more what to expect. Also, please pray for peace....it's a bit unsettling when each new thing occurs wondering "Is this normal?" I'm definitely learning that I'm NOT in charge right now!
Oh, and the hair is still there, although I'm "shedding" quite a bit. My hair dryer is making a horrible noise and I'm wondering what will go first, the dryer or the hair! My money is on the hair!
I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Thanks again for your love and support!!
In His Strength,
Cindy & The VK's
