Well another chemo treatment down. I am 1/3 of the way through. This has not been a good week for me. The new meds really helped with the nausea but it is not a miracle pill even though 18 pills were over $2000.00. Praise God for insurance. Ya, that is not a typo on the number of 0's! My sweet MIL took me to chemo this week and my blood platelets and white blood cells were lower then they like them to be but after a call to my Oncologist they decided to proceed. I felt so wiped out this week! I even had an episode of passing out, a combo of getting up to quickly and being weak and alittle hungry. I am ok but it scared Jim. I hope to feel better this coming week before I head into my 5th tx. My Oncologist wants to see me this week if I am not feeling better. I do feel like I have more energy then last week. I got out to the fields yesterday for the kids games. I had to leave alittle early at the last one because I started not feeling well again with stomach cramps, etc. I have spent alot of time in bed this go around. I hope that this is not going to continue to be soooo draining! For those that know my mom please keep her in your prayers. She has not been feeling well herself and is actually in the hospital as I type this. She should get out today with any luck. The Dr.'s are changing her meds and trying to get her feeling better. Kelly has been a big help this week with getting the little ones ready for school for me when I can't. She just turned 13. Thanks to Brandi, Kim, Erin and David for the meals this week! You guys are the Best!

Hey Melissa,

I think about you almost everyday. I'm continuing to keep you in my prayers. I'd still love to prepare a meal, if someone is coordinating the meals and would like to contact me...katie.akers@gmail.com

Be blessed and healed!
