Happy Thanksgiving Month!

Again, almost two weeks since my last post. I made it through my second chemo treatment on November 7th and the symptoms that follow the first week. Not as bad as the first chemo reaction but I was incredibly tired for a week with flu like symptoms. The chemo is working, my white blood cell count is down form a normal 1500 to 380 as of last Friday and energy is low but I am pushing through it. My biggest worry is not getting sick because it would be hard to fight off infection. A fever of 100 or more would send me to the emergency room they told me so I am some what of a germ freak at this time. On the upside, I am 50% done with the chemo treatments now and continue to see blessings through all of this and I am thankful for many many things in life; especially the love and support I have from my husband, family, friends and my incredible clients that continue to support me through my journey and have patience with me and my team as they work many extra hours helping me with my work load too. Thank you Keith, Erin and Kari for all you do for our company!

My next chemo treatment is December 2nd and my last one is December 23rd. I then take a month off of treatment getting stronger to start radiation for 5 to 7 weeks daily. I will be done with all treatments by March and then I will work on getting my immune system back and stronger than ever!

I hope you all have an amazing Thanksgiving and a safe one. My thoughts and prayers go out to many of my dear friends who are struggling with their own medical challenges or someone in their family that is. To my chemo buddy Percy, hang in their my friend, we will get through this. I treasure our talks during treatment and our daily emails of encouragement. Megan, my heart is with you and your family through this difficult time with your dad's cancer and Donna, you have supported me so much in the last couple months and know that JJ will make it through her journey with flying colors. We are here for you and your family and most importantly so is God. BTC, so glad to hear how great your prognosis is after your scare this past month.

I will end today's post with a couple pictures that make me smile daily when I look at them or think about all that I have to be thankful for. May all of your Thanksgivings be amazing ones filled with love, family and laughter. Thank you for your love, support and kindness in the last few months.
