Well it has been forever since I've made an entry! Sorry but I just have not been able to make a complete thought!!  The first 3 treatments have been very hard and the 2nd and 3rd have each gotten worse and worse so this 4th I'm hoping will be the easiest since its my last!!!  After the 2nd and 3rd I had such a horrible breakdown to Tom!  I just didn't think I could do another treatment.  I just cried and cried and tried to think about all I have to live for cause believe me heaven was certainly where I wanted to be!!  I went to Dr. Foote for my appointment last week and I begged her to give me an early Christmas present and let me skip my 4th treatment and she said absolutly not cause I want you to live!!  So with that being said I am going to go into this treatment tomorrow with the choice of life.  Please pray that this treatment will be the easiest of the 4 for me and that I will recover fast!!! 

I will get 2 weeks off between my 4th cycle of Adriamycin and Cytoxin and my 1st treatment of Taxol.  Taxol will be once a week for 12 weeks.  It is not as hard as the first 4 chemos and my hair will actually grow back....and I must say that I really have gotten used to getting ready in like 20 minutes and enjoy it!!!  Now I'm ready for my hair to grow back FAST!! In this cold weather you really miss your own hair!!

The Smith family had a wonderful Christmas!!  Christmas really seemed more meaningful this year!!  Its interesting how looking in the eyes of death will give you a whole new perspective on life.   Thank you to all of you for your gifts of prayers!!  Each prayer has been heard and the Lord is mighty to answer them!!  May each of you have a wonderful New Year and be a blessing to others!!!


Just a reminder that on January 8th at Milford Elk Lodge on Elks Lodge rd Holly Fry is doing a bingo benefit for my family!!!  There are some FANTASTIC prizes from what I hear...tickets are 20.00 each or 2 for 35.00!!!  She has put a lot of hard work into making this happen and she did all of it during the busiest season of the year.  Please come and have a blast!!!  Just as a side note you will want to sit at the table with Holly and Kerri Fry they are hysterical and competative when it comes to winning bingo!!  So doors open at 6:00 bingo starts at 7:00 get there early and find out where they are sitting and take all of their lucky trolls!!! 

Love you guys and thank you for your prayers!!  God bless each of you richly!!
