Quick update from today . . .
My port was stubborn again today, but they got it working before we left. 🙂
I met with the oncologist today. He feels the tumor has softened on the top and the bottom, but it has not shrunk in size. He felt around for the lymph node that we know is infected and larger, but couldn’t find it. So it’s either hiding from us or has shrunk. We hope it’s the latter.
There is no plan to do a scan until after surgery, unless the surgeon wants it. We’ll know more about that as time gets closer.
Tom is back home safe from his work conference at a beautiful winery in Eastern Washington. He slept a total of 7 hours in 3 days, so that’s about all I know about his trip, except that it went well. I’m happy to have him home! 🙂
I’m feeling good tonight. It’s a bummer I have to go to chemo tomorrow . . .
I also found out that a link wasn’t working correctly in my blog post yesterday, so if you missed the resource page for family and friends, here it is. Sorry about that.
Thanks for praying with us.
Love the lists to help others get ideas on what to do to help. I read, “The Hardest Peace” last year and it is an extraordinary book! I plan on reading the other one you listed soon. Continued prayers from the Bakers!!
Thanks Chris. I’m half way through “The Hardest Peace.” It’s a hard one for me to read right now. I need to pick it back up again though.
Finished The Hardest Peace a few weeks ago–a beautiful testimony of the truth of faith and yes, His presence. Perhaps we will have conversations in the future about its impact on us. Praying often tomorrow for that chemo to focus on the right cells and leave the others alone.
I just finished it last night. Sigh! Hard read for me, but so good. I just started studying about grace since Bible Study is on a break ’til January. I’m working my way through the Bible looking at all the verses that use that word (in Hebrew or Greek). There’s a lot, so it should keep me busy!! Hugs to you and your family!
That was quick! I’m certain it was a tough read for you right now…I cried through the whole book. So thankful for HIS grace!!
Hugs to you, friend!!
Thank you for letting us know how you are doing. It does mean so much to us. Praying and hoping your nausea wont be to bad. Praying tomorrow will be a better day for you. Hugs are coming your way. I keep saying this, but I must say it again. You are one very strong woman. God Bless.
Thank you Pat. No nausea so far this round and doing pretty good! Thank you for the encouragement. 🙂
