1st Treatment

Well, although I wasn't expecting to, I had my first treatment today. We went in this morning at 10 to get the results of my pulmonary and echo tests and to meet with the doctor. Since both tests came back normal (hey im normal?) they were like, "Ok, we start today." I was like...um....WHOA?! Gimme a moment. But they let me go eat lunch and come back & then we went into the treatment area, which was kinda ballin'.  Each area had it's own little recliner & t.v. I was thinking, "Be careful...you don't know me, I might move in."  Anyway, just got home & took a shower and i feel really good. They gave me a ton of stuff for side effects before it even began so we should be okay.  I will get one treatment a week, then a week off, and so on.  So it'll be 6 cycles. 12 weeks. So....one down. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! More updates to come. MUCH LOVE
PEACE

Your post suggests that the procedure went smooth; obviously you didn't allow the few communication lapses to shake you. Appropriately my pastor, MONROE G. MERCER, mentioned scriptures last night that apply. Philippians 2:14-15: Do all things without murmuring and disputings. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation among whom ye shine as lights in the world.
Like Paul, you're in a temporary prison but you're not complaining and continuing to shine the light of God's grace and love. I'm proud of you.
Love, Mom

Okay, I don't know how I hacked into your identity for my post to appear under your name. I'm sure you can fix it.

I'm proud of you for being so strong. I can't imagine how scary yesterday truly was.
