More Frustration

We went to the oncologist this morning fully expecting her to tell us that I would be starting chemo tomorrow or Thursday. What we didn't expect was to have her be COMPLETELY unprepared for our appointment. She hasn't looked at any of the test results and wasn't prepared for anything. It basically was just an appointment for them to take our co-pay. I have the other 3 MRI's scheduled for Thursday, so I can start chemo as early as Friday or as late as Monday. We did find out that I am at Stage 4, which we had already figured out. It is scary, but even stage 4 has a very good success rate, and for people under the age of 50, the success rate doubles. It's just frustrating because my chemo keeps getting pushed off, but we are trusting that the doctor knows what she is doing and of course, we are trusting God. We know that He is in control.

I have a prayer map now. You can click on the link (the underlined words) in this blog or on the right hand side of our page. It will pull up our prayer map and you can add yourself. It will be great to see where everyone is who is praying for not only me, but for my whole family. Thank you so much!


Join with us and help us support Lymphoma awareness. We are ordering lime green ribbon lapel pins and are selling them for $3 each. They are about 1" tall. If you would like to join us in this, please email us at wewillbeatthis@gmail.com and let us know how many you would like. It will take a few weeks to get them in, but we want to get the word out. We want everyone to recognize lime green as much as they recognize the pink ribbons for breast cancer.


Thank you again for all your prayers and support, and remember...


WITH GOD, WE WILL BEAT THIS!!
