Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for all your prayers. This last treatment was not as bad as the first. I was tired and slept a bit but I haven't got sick to my stomach, thankfully. There is so much to be thankful for this year. Friends and family who have poured out their love for me and my family. My friend Brenda is sending over all her "extra food" for thanksgiving dinner to us. Her dad loves to cook and he is so thrilled to cook "extra". Billy's mom and brother have come up from Houston, Texas to spend a few days with us. It's always so nice to have them visit. The kids are enjoying their break from school, just relaxing and having friends over. Hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving.

Update

Tomorrow will be my next treatment. I've been busy cleaning house and catching up on the laundry so I can go to bed for a few days. I'm so thankful for the energy to do it now. I feel a little more prepared. We have a stockpile of frozen dinners that our wonderful friends in Oklahoma City at Draper Lake Baptist Church prepared for us. The ladies at our Emmanuel Baptist here in Webb City are bringing dinners over the weekend. We are really blessed. Everyone has been so encouraging. Thanks for your prayer support. We love you all!

Since Houston

Great news from Houston! My repeat ultrasound found no "suspicious" lymph nodes in my neck. None! We are so thankful to God...
The doctor surprized us by wanting to start my next round of chemo right away, before we left for home. I had the treatment Friday evening and we drove home Saturday. This round of chemo is much harder. It takes the word "fatigue" to a whole new realm. Not only was I tired from the chemo, I got a cold and so did half the family. It has been the longest and hardest week. Thankfully, we are all getting better now. I only have this treatment every three weeks and now I only have three more total treatments to go. I'm counting down again. Thanks for all your prayers.
