TREATMENT DAY

Today Angela was "introduced" to her new drugs. She is now receiving a new chemo drug (added to the two she is already taking) and a new nausea pill. Time will tell if the new chemo drug is working but I can tell you that the new nausea medication IS working. She called me today after her treatment and she was having trouble deciding between a cheeseburger from Wendy's or homemade lasagna that we brought her last night. Does that sound like someone not feeling well??? When we last spoke it sounded like the lasagna won...............but I am sure she'll change her mind a few times before she gets home.

She will continue with her treatments every other Wednesday (new chemo once per month). The next MRI is scheduled one month from now with the next visit to Duke in two months. David will post more details at a later date regarding her treatment plan.

Angela seems to be doing well. I am sure that you all can understand that she has been a little down lately BUT she still remains positive and focused on a full recovery.

Please pray for Angela to continue to have the strength to fight the battle.

Thanks for the prayers,
tammy

PS - Angela just called to say that the lasagna was great.......guess she didn't change her mind!

I know you are feeling like Hercules, but he held the world for a long time..keep holding the "world" up for you, your family and God. God will comfort and protect and cure you. Keep the faith.

Praying for you always,

Angela:

I must say I was stunned when I ran into you at the Port Allen soccer field and learned of your illness. I have not been the same since that day, thinking of you and your situation quite often. For the past 2 and 1/2 years, I have struggled thru surgery and recovery, trying to deal with my situation both physically and emotionally. As you surely can relate, it has not been an easy ride, with very few able to understand. Maybe we can get together and be our own little support group! Let me know.

I do hope and pray you are feeling ok. I am sure God will continue to keep you in the cradle of his arm.
