Thank you

I am overwhelmed by the kindness, generosity and thoughtfulness of all my friends. Every day there was a package on our doorstep with a Christmas ornament, plant, or chocolate. THANK YOU so much. The ornaments are beautiful and I treasure them!

On another note the chemo has not been working on my skin metastasis so yesterday we switched chemos. I am praying that this one will stop the growth. The side effects are less so far so that is one positive.

Your word is a lamp to my feet
    and a light for my path.

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 

Juravinski Cancer Centre

Well on Tuesday we went to Hamilton to the Juravinksi Cancer Centre. It was decided that I do not need the gamma-knife radiation yet. We are going to try managing with dexamethasone for now. I had chemo on Friday.

No God, No Peace
Know God, Know Peace

Update

Well I have a brain MRI and the results show that the brain metastasis is growning. The whole brain radiation did not shrink it. I will be going to Hamilton for stereotactic radiation. It is a one time thing that is directed directly at the met. Hopefully that will shrink it!
Other than that I am still quit tired and not able to do much.

Isaiah 40:31

but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

Chemo

Hi Everyone,

Thank you so much for your overwhelming love, prayers and support. You are amazing friends!
I have now had 2 chemo and go back in 2 weeks. Today I had cisplatin and gemcitabine and so far feel fine as long as I take the meds to go with it.
This Thanksgiving we have so much to be thankful for. The kids will be home for some of the weekend and I am really looking forward to seeing all of them.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.

Psalm 100:4

Thank you!

Wow, I am so blessed to have such warm and caring friends! Thank you all so much for the beautiful flowers, your love is amazing. I thank Jesus for each and every one of you.

Friends are a gift from God

Update

Just a quick update on my condition. I have a 1.7cm brain metastasis which will be treated with whole brain radiation. Apparently brain mets are treatable so that's good news. I also have some bone mets as well. After they deal with the brain we will look at chemo for my inflammatory breast cancer which unfortunately is spreading. But I know it is all in God's hands and I have peace about that.
Thank you all for your continued prayers.
