Today is Tuesday
Well its been a week and a day since my last treatment and I was actually able to run some errands and make dinner and manage to stay awake all day!! Yesterday was my low day for my white blood count so I was in bed all day. I was awake just long enough to take clothes out of dryer and put clothes in the dryer and a new load in the washer. Folded that load and climbed back into bed and slept again!!! My feet and fingers are really feeling the effects of the neuropathy that comes with this chemo. My fee are numb but I can feel the pain....my fingertips are tingly and numb but I can feel the pain that rushes up my forarm. I don't understand it but its the truth!! Crazy!!! Numb but feel that they hurt oxymoron? Should start to feel a little better for the rest of the week and then on Monday I get my last treatment!! Tommy is gonna go to my last treatment maybe we will throw a party at the cancer center since this is my last treatment!! I don't know if that would be rude to the other patients but they could certainly participate in the fun!!! For 14 weeks I have been pumped full of poison I have fault my way back to feeling seminormal all to be pumped full of more poison and to start the cycle all over again and to think that my last dose is almost her just make me soooo happy you have no idea!!! When I first started all the chemo I wasn't sure if I was gonna make it through the first chemo and I really just wanted to give up and go to heaven cause it was awful.....then the 2 chemo came along and it is sooo much easier but I am so done!!! I am ready to get on with the new season of my life. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for me!! I hope and pray its something fun and exciting!! Well it is 6:45 and I am ready for bed!! Can't hardly keep my eyes open...maybe a little nap til 8 then watch American Idol!!! Love ya guys may the Lord pour his grace and mercy on each of you this week and keep you in his warm arm during this nasty rainy damp days!!

I am feeling your struggle. Not physically...maybe a little physically. Emotional stress eventually effects you physically. Chemo is soooo draining especially and mainly for you but I know you already know it is draining on your family. We care so much and hurt so much to see a loved one go through such an ordeal. Quite frankly - I hate it with a passion. This disease is looking life and death straight in the eye and realizing you are only what God will allow you to be. That's comforting and very scarey at the same time.
Just know that all of your friends and family can't wait for your chemo to be over too!!!! Not that I would wish this on anyone...you know from my own experiences for this to be true. But I have to say that it is tough times like these that change us the most and the fastest. Maybe God is partly saying, girls I don't have 15 years for you and your friends to change. I need change now. Isn't that what we always pray "Lord, Change me!" Guess what? You can check that one off the list as D.O.N.E. Done. And praise God all this agony is NOT in vain.
I love you Shannon and I can't wait to see you recover. May God be praised! He sees the end from the beginning and He never changes in the middle
