March 24

Basically one month ago I started to get sick from a chemo side effect, just after my third treatment. I’m starting my fifth week of battling with that issue and then side effects from a medication for the side effect. It has been hard and miserable. I vomited six consecutive days (after having no nausea before). Last week I went in for fluids twice, saw the oncology nurse practitioner and a surgeon (about the side effect and related side effects). I looked so “haggard” the first day of fluids, a nurse told me the second day that she had prayed for me the night before. Thankfully, the fluids were a huge help and the surgeon shouldn’t be necessary. They called to schedule my port removal for Wednesday, but I didn’t think my body would be ready, so it’s been scheduled for May 15. Fingers crossed y’all. 

I can keep food down now, but I’m still fatigued (I guess I expected some fuel would power up my body faster), and I still have some internal issues to contend with. I’m trying to do everything I can to heal. If you pray, can you please include the healing of my body on your list?
