I have not posted in a while, because Praise the Lord, I am feeling great! I would even venture to say I’m back to feeling as good as I did before my stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis.
On Wednesday we got home from a 2 week vacation to Southern, California. We had a great time visiting family and friends. We also enjoyed a few days at Disneyland and California Adventure. I walked over 25,000 steps three times on vacation a few weeks ago. (It’s crazy how many miles you walk when you go to Disneyland!!) I am so thankful for a body that allowed me to do that. I was pretty tired the days after, but survived and had a great time with our family!
While I don’t think about cancer all the time any more, Dr. appointments sure bring it to mind! I have 2… Dr. appointments on Friday (check-up with my oncologist and check-up with my plastic surgeon), and a bone strengthening infusion on Wednesday.
Last time, the infusion hit me really hard and this is a very busy week, so I don’t have time to down. Please pray my body responds better to it this time. At my infusion, we’ll also be checking my blood (cancer antigen 27-29). If that number is elevated, that is a sign the cancer might be back. Please pray that number stays down and that I will not be anxious about the appointments this week.
Also, 2 of our girls are pretty sick. Please pray their bad colds and breathing issues go away quickly and that Tom and our middle daughter stay healthy. (I had it last week.)
Thanks for praying with me. Happy New Year!
Yes I DID miss you…but was hoping it was because of the reason you mentioned….YEAH!! So glad you are feeling great AND that you got to go on vacation and enjoy it!
Glad you’re feeling better! Prayers answered!
Thanks for letting us know your fun jounery you were having with family I had wished the weather had been better. It was wonderful see you all but your rain outfits and just enjoy. Prayers for the healing for the girls. Prayer for all your up coming appointments. Take care Jennifer.
I too was thinking we haven’t heard anything in awhile and hopefully that is good news.
So glad for your family to have the opportunity to have fun with family and friends. Who can’t have fun at Disneyland!
I made the pumpkin loaf recipe and shared it at church this morning for snacks in the form of mini muffins. They were yummy!
Have a great week! and praying for your requests!!
So glad you are feeling good and we’re able to have a wonderful time with family. I will be remembering your requests for the week, for you and Tom and the girls.
In this case, no news is good news! I was able to see your family & activities through Facebook. So happy to hear how your body is building back up string! WhooHoo to your many steps! I helped Alicia move & logged in 14,000 steps in one day!!
I had seen your adventures on FB and was praying that you were feeling as good as you looked. You were, YEAH!!! I will be praying for all your prayer requests and that all will feel 100% soon. Again, Happy New Year
You were definitely missed! I will continue praying for these needs. I don’t know how I missed that you’re now stage 4! Oh my! God is still in control and I know He still has a plan for you. He’s not done with you yet. Thank you for being such an encourager to me. You are a blessing!
So glad you are feeling great and that you had a wonderful vacation with your family. Praise the Lord for His goodness to you.Praying for the needs you mentioned. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Love,
Jan
