High Spirits

Today Angela had another treatment and I am happy to report that the new nausea meds are still working. Joey & I went for a visit this afternoon and she was on the sofa watching television. David and the kids had gone to their t-ball game. Angela was tired but feeling okay....not nearly as bad as she has in the past. Her usual afternoon after a treatment consists of sleep, sleep and more sleep and horrible nausea. Today, other than being tired, she was great!!!! We figured tonight that she should be due for another MRI in 2 or 3 weeks.

On a different note, her doctor told her today that the research he has read lately regarding the chemo she is receiving in regards to the type of cancer she has has become more favorable than in the past. This is great news in that it appears that the research is paying off. He told her that he'd give her more details at her next appointment.

Last week, she and I went to the mall and Wal Mart. We walked around and shopped until we couldn't shop anymore. This was her first trip to these places since last summer!!! Yesterday, she, David & Katherine went grocery shopping. Grocery shopping is something that they have always enjoyed doing together. She has been getting out a lot more and enjoying her family.

Well, as you can see she is doing well. Her spirits are high and all is well in the Fluker home.

Until next time, please keep Angela, David, Alex, Christian & Katherine in your prayers.

Thanks to all of you and God Bless!

TREATMENT WEEK

Angela had a chemo treatment yesterday and I am happy to say that she is feeling well today. Her doctor gave her a new nausea medication to try and it appears to be doing the job. I talked to her a few times today and I couldn't tell she had a treatment yesterday. Usually, I don't speak with her for a few days so imagine my surprise when she called me this morning. What a blessing!!!! This new medication has come at the right time. She and I just had the "I don't know how long I can do this. How long I can put up with feeling bad" talk. While she is not giving up, I am sure that all of you can only begin to imagine how it must feel to be sick for weeks at a time. I have thanked God all day for blessing her with such a wonderful day. All of our prayers are being answered so keep up the good work.

Angela, David and the kids have been enjoying the beautiful weather with many family outings. They have picked strawberries, been to museums and parks and visited friends. The boys are playing T-Ball this summer so they have been busy with practice and games. Angela has enjoyed going to watch them.

Sorry it has been so long without an update but always remember that no news is good news.

Angela, David, Alex, Christian & Katherine want to thank all of you for keeping them in your thoughts and prayers. God Bless all of you!
