Third Chemo

Toni had her third chemo treatment Friday 15th and a week later she is just getting her legs under her. The side effects were different and in many ways tougher this round. Some insomnia, some nausea, some of those “mysterious” pangs, but primarily an extreme, knee wobbling, aching, fatigue! One result was that though we were up to 8 laps around the mall, (and actually had walked 15 laps one Saturday as a fund raiser for some friends going to Peru with SportReach Missions), we have struggled this week, to go one or two laps, when we did walked!

A few quotes:

Malachi, “I just love nana’s head with no hair!” (Grandson, age 4)
anny, “Nana put your hat (wig) back on!” (Grandson, age 2 ½)

Toni, “This infusion knocked me for a loop.” “I felt like a toxic waste dump all week!”

Psalmist, “Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.” Ps 116:7-9, ESV

Thanks for your prayers and practical assistance! They were deeply appreciated this past week!
