Update for a difficult week

Hi,
This week has been an interesting week.  It's been a difficult week most of all.  But, we are all learning to deal with this disease and are choosing to be faithful and thankful.

On Monday, before treatment, a few of us met with my Oncologist.  I asked her the question, "after this episode, what is the likelihood of this coming back?"  Basically, its what we have known...according to her, it is coming back, its just a matter of when.  This fight for my life got really serious in those moments.  It is not easy to hear those words that you will have to do this again. 

The chemo has been tolerable until today, it is just not very fun.  Just the weight and fatigue of it is upon me. 

I have skipped over a lot of details.  This has been a week of reflection and process.  I am excited for each day I have here.  This is how I have to choose to live.  I don't have a time clock on my life, but I am pretty aware that it is probably shorter than most, at this point.

I have to and enjoy seeking God's peace in this.  There is no other way to do this and feel good about it.  I feel so much better when I choose to believe just how trustworthy He is.  He makes all things impossible, possible. And that makes me very happy! :)  None of us have a guarantee on our life. 

Let me shout this out...I hate cancer!  And listen you healthy people...get out there and get your check ups, mammograms, colonoscopies, etc!  There is a reason why they screen these things.  Don't wait until you have a problem.  AND if you do have a problem, pick up your phone and call your doctor right now and make an appointment.  If you need a referral, let me know, I will get you to the right doctor! :) LOL!

XOXO Lots of love, Amanda
