There are a few changes to my post from yesterday. The doctor has decided not to wait until after her visit to Duke to begin the next round of chemotherapy. Nothing is wrong, just with the holidays and her not being able to get an appointment at Duke until January, they are making some adjustments. The doctors don't like to wait that long between rounds of chemo so they will begin the next round within the next few weeks. Her next MRI is scheduled for December 18th. At this time, they will be able to see if the radiation and chemo are producing the results that they anticipate. After the results are in, they will then begin the next round of chemo. Angela is very nervous about the MRI and the results so please keep her in your prayers that day.
Regarding her radiation treatments. She was not able to take her treatment today as the radiation machine was "down" at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Treatment Center. Therefore, tomorrow will not be her last treatment. BUT, Thursday is the last day and she is looking very forward to the end of that chapter.
GREAT NEWS! Today was her last chemo treatment for this round. She will definitely enjoy the break before beginning the next round. Actually, she is ready to get started. She doesn't want to waste any time!!!!
This coming Sunday, we will all celebrate Alex's 4th birthday (his actual birthday is 12/11). Please remember Angela and her family on this very special day. Days like these are very important to them and somewhat emotional.
Once again, I ask that you keep Angela, David, Alex, Christian & Katherine in your daily thought and prayers. For we know and believe that THROUGH HIM ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit.
Angela and David, Keep fighting and celebrating life. I loved seeing the pictures of Kat's party. Love, Janelle
Hey Angela!!!
So today was not your last day of radiation...just a small obstacle compared to what you have overcome since Early September!!! What tomorrow will bring...finished with round one and ready to begin round 2!!!
I hope these next days coming will bring much inner peace. You have accomplished so much in such a short time frame!!! Alot to be celebrating in addition to Alex's birthday!
Can't wait to hear all the good news coming in the next few weeks.
Here is a thought....
Bring the Rain by: Mercy Me
I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that
I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings
You glory And I know there'll
be days When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to
praise You Jesus, bring the rain
I am yours regardless of the clouds that may
loom above because you are much greater than
my pain you who made a way for me suffering
your destiny so tell me whats a little rain?
Love and thinking of you!!!
