Halfway Point

Lindsey here. We're at the halfway point! Mom had her fourth treatment last Friday. That marked the end of her first type of chemo and now she'll start her second type of chemo on Friday May 4th. She saw the doctor today and got some good news. She's been having chemo every two weeks, but generally this second kind of chemo is usually given every three weeks.Because she did so well with her chemo so far, the doctor said that she can have this second kind of chemo every two weeks instead of every three. So, if everything goes on schedule, she'll be done with this second kind of chemo on June 8. Then she'll have an MRI to see her progress. Then she'll have her double mastectomy and lumpectomy.

Pray for mom as she goes through this second kind. It's not supposed to make mom as sick, but it is supposed to be painful. The doctor said that she'll probably have pain from her elbows to her hands and from her knees to her feet. And pray that this chemo will kill all the cancer. Mom's hopes to have her surgery over by her birthday on July 24. The doctor says that it could be possible by mid-July. So that's what we're praying for! Thanks so much for all your support so far. Mom has a lot of good friends behind her. God is answering our prayers everyday.

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
