On Friday I had an appointment with my oncologist at Vanderbilt. They have decided to give my body a break after the radiation for at least a few weeks. I will go back mid September for tests, then begin chemotherapy in early October. The treatments will be every-other week for 6-9 months.
Even though this is not the news I wanted to hear, I have complete faith in God and the medical team that they know best. They seem to feel that the chance for recurrence is high and hope that this chemotherapy treatment will prevent future tumors from forming.
Thank you to everyone for continuing to keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I am looking forward to these few weeks off to recuperate!
Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
Proverbs 15:13 A cheerful heart brings a smile to your face; a sad heart makes it hard to get through the day.
