Celebrated Thanksgiving, all my family was home except my nephew David who is teaching in France. He will be home for Christmas. Two days later we celebrated Christmas since my niece Leah and her husband Jason are home for two weeks from Cairo. My great nephews are now a bit confused as they had two Thanksgivings and two Christmas' within two days.
I'm still dealing with nausea and would like that to go away. However, my energy is slowly returning and I feel like I'm coming out of a fog. I need my platelets to be back up for chemo on Wednesday.
Appreciate you prayers!!
Susan

I was supposed to have my second round of chemo today but my platelets were too low so it's been postponed for a week. Being able to enjoy Thanksgiving is one of the benefits of not having chemo. I have much to be thankful for this year. God is good, all the time!!!!

Tues. Nov. 24

Susan hasn't felt well the last two days. Please pray for her, she wants to feel good for Thanksgiving with the family and also she has another round of chemo tomorrow. We know many are praying, so keep it up. Thanks.

Thought I would give an update though really not much to write. I have chemo again on Wednesday. I'm hoping it will blast those little alien invaders to smitherines and leave the good cells alone. I've had less trouble with nausea this week, have had no side effects from chemo that I can tell. Basically my lingering side effect, from radiation, is lack of energy. I'm very very weak but otherwise feeling okay. I have friends who come from Indiana weekly to anoint me and pray for me for chemo. Amazing, eh?! I'm looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with family. God is good!! I have much for which to be thankful!

Hello!! It's been three days since chemo. I'm doing fairly well so far. I have a little shortness of breath but that's about the only side effect. My friend Annelie just put this quote from Corrie Ten Boom on her Facebook page."Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God." That's what I'm going to choose to do. Appreciate you all.

Greetings my praying buddies! You all are so amazing. I'm so blessed to be surrounded by such a wonderful community of family. I got home from the hospital yesterday after a two day stay to try to get my systems in order. Tomorrow I start chemo. They found that the lesion on my liver had gotten a bit bigger and wanted to start chemo right away. Ask that this chemo would work to get rid of the cancer. Mentally I'm doing really well, just very tired and weak. Still asking for a healing miracle. God knows what will bring glory and honor to his name though.

Susan is doing better. It looks like she may get to come back home today. They were concerned about a bowel obstruction. She isn't in as much pain as she was and not vomiting. Thank you for your prayers.
