By God's Grace, today I felt the best than I have felt in a long time!
No nausea. My stomach has gotten smaller. My swelling in my legs went down. I could eat more without feeling ill. I genuinely felt good!
When I was first diagnosed, I weighed at 125 lbs. By the time I started my first chemo treatment few weeks later, I had ballooned to 146 lbs. My stomach had gotten that much bigger. Today, I weighed myself and I'm at 131 lbs! My stomach is still bloated but nothing like before. I think I look like 6 months pregnant instead of 9! I am so grateful!! I just feel so much better.
It has been a difficult journey. In the beginning there were so many unknowns, what treatment I will getting, how my children will react, how we can manage everyday life through all this, etc.
It is because of ALL of YOU we have been able to come this far. THANK YOU!
We could not have gotten where we are today without all of your prayers, thoughtful gifts, meals for our family, encouraging cards, emails, texts and all the love that you have showered on my family. No words can express how grateful we are. With all of you, you have helped us carry our burden, encouraged us during my "bad days" and rejoiced with us when my health had improved.
I'm sorry I have not been able to personally thank some of you. Please know that we are truly grateful all you have done for us.
Thank you for being on this journey with me.
I feel so much better today. YAY!!!
This post has made my year! Okay, we are only on day 7 but still...
