Being an SEC girl, married to a former SEC Football player, working at a SEC school (who is NUMBER ONE!!!), I am looking at this as a game!
My first half is over. I feel great after surgery. I can even bend over, sneeze and cough without any discomfort. So...I can say with great enthusiasm...I have won the first half! But for all you football followers out there...we all know it's the score at the END of the game that counts.
I have enjoyed half time. I was able to attend Walk to Emmaus last week-end. A wonderful three day event that brought me closer to God and I found peace and left my fears there. What a great opportunity to worship with other women seeking a touch.
I was able to work last week, part time each day. Being back at the RCU was so healing! As I have said often, it is a great place to work. I will be in and out this week as well.
Today starts the second half! I'm ready to play every minute of the second half and get a victory! I will be getting my port in Starkville at OCH put in this afternoon (Monday - October 27, 2014) OPPS! Whistle blow! I just talked with surgeon's nurse. I SEE the doctor today to learn about it and surgery will be scheduled. PUNT!
In the morning I have to be in Tupelo early for a PET scan. Interesting fact about PET scans...I can't be around babies or pregnant women for 8 hours after the scan. My daughter in law, Amy will be having a sonogram tomorrow. Hopefully we will find out the gender of my grandchild...I can't see or hug her when she finds out!
Dr. Julian Hill, in Tupelo is my oncologist. I met him Friday and feel very blessed to have him treat me. Great news...he has an office in Starkville, so I will be receiving treatments there. PRAISES! I will receive 4 drugs. Three, I believe will be administered at the clinic, and the 4th I will wear with a battery operated pump for 36 hours.
The schedule for treatments is every two weeks for 6 months. That equals 12 - TWELVE treatments. That seems like a doable number. I know so many who have twice and three times that number. I am so humbled.
Those of you who are reading this...please get a colonoscopy if you haven't! I read again this week, that colon cancer doesn't give you symptoms early. You are so important and your health is worth checking on. I DID NOT! Don't be me!!!
Also, my surgeon suggested I take Juice Plus supplements. They are ordered. (Can't find in Walmart) I am also juicing one meal a day...usually breakfast. A friend of Kacy's has been in treatment for colon cancer and feels juicing has been a big part of his journey to wellness.
Well...my plans have changed for the day. I am going to go get dressed and head to work. After thinking I had to fast for surgery...I am looking forward to breakfast.
Thank you for reading this...following my progress...and continuing to pray for me and others you know facing health issues.
Also...all of you who have brought me food over the last month a read a verse. This is for you!
"If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I assure you, that person will be rewarded!" Mark 9:41
I remain grateful to you all!
