Sorry it’s been so long since my last update. We just finished our third week of the school year and things have been busy as usual. I finished radiation on August 20th with no problems. It was a piece of cake compared to chemo. Now I am back on chemo, this time with the drug Gemzar. We will be taking a scan in mid-October to see where I’m at from both the radiation and chemo. I’m tired (and a little sick) from the chemo, but so far I’m functioning just fine. This drug is given through IV once a week for three weeks with the fourth week off. It should not make me lose my hair, but there is the possibility of severe water retention. So far I have not experienced any of that, and hope that I will not. Your prayers continue to be a great help to me, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. God is walking with me every step of this long road, and I am doing just fine.
