Who's Kickin' Whose Butt?!?

My chemo treatment last week went really well and I think my symptoms were actually less than the first time. My lab work taken on Monday was really good and my white blood cell count was only one point below where it should be. I’m sure the Neulasta shot has taken care of that by now. I was feeling great on Saturday and most of Sunday and then…my hemorrhoids decided to flare up…no, they decided to rage like never, ever before.

I apologize if this is too much information and I’ve debated whether to share this or not. But this is a journey and I decided before I started I was going to be as honest and transparent as I can, so you’re getting it all.

Anyhow, I can honestly say I would take chemo over this issue any day! Luckily my doctor got me in quickly on Monday, prescribed some meds, treatments and bedrest for a couple of days. Fortunately, it is all working and I felt good enough today to work all day from home. I’m planning to put some time in at the office the rest of the week too.

In the middle of it all, I told Scott, “I feel like I’m kicking chemo’s butt, but right now my own butt is kicking me!”

I am grateful for God’s healing power and for providing medical personnel and treatments to assist. Thank you, Lord!

Bless you all for your continued encouragement and prayers. Love you all!
