Hi. My last post seemed abrupt to me when I went back and read it. Sometimes funny doesn't come across very funny on these blogs; it comes across abrupt and short in personality. Sorry for that. I do want to let you know that I have my 2nd chemo treatment at 9:15am today 12/5. This is where, once again, the rubber meets the road. There have been few times I seem to have said this to myself..."this is where the rubber meets the road"...like before my first treatment and right before my first hair cut. Also, my brother said this to me too in the beginning of this journey when he was talking about my faith against a challenging time. If I was writing a book, I think the first chapter would be about "The Prayer Army", then Chapter 2 would be "Where the Rubber Meets the Road".
So, as I was saying, this treatment is upon me with its lovely nausea and flu symptoms. Please pray for my body to stay strong and push through these side effects. Thank you for taking the time to read through these updates and pray for me and my family. I am so thankful. Let's get the engines revved up, get the wheels turning and let's burn some rubber on these roads!
For those of you with "Schedule Mammogram" on your to-do list, call right now. Go get 'em girls! If you can't get a mammogram, tell them you have a history. If you aren't interested in mammogram, schedule your annual pap- they do breast exams there. Call now and get it done!
Your Daddy would love your blog tonight! Vroom, vroom! I wish you the very best tomorrow. I know you are strong and will do a dynamite job. A lot of people will be holding you in their hearts and sending you lots of positive energy.

Just got your blog from Dana, and it is absolutely beautiful! Your words have such a sincere truth and grace to them throughout. I love the pictures: little Jack(who is not so little now); your bald head(and yes, you are stunning); and you and Chris with so much love for each other that it shows through. We are all praying for God to give you strength so we can see that beautiful smile and hear that wonderful laugh of yours. Stay strong, you can do this.

Prayers and love are coming your way, Amanda!
ReplyDeleteAmanda, thinking of you today and praying that you are doing well and no bad affects from your 2nd chemo treatment. I catch your humor and appreciate your sharing your journey. If it makes you feel better .. my day was spent on the telephone with ATT working on failed telephone voice mails and fax as well as 5 hours on line with ATT Internet repair... I survived .. good thing no one lives around me as I was very vocal with my displeasure. My love and prayers coninue... see you soon
