this friday is { hopefully & prayerfully } my last PET scan ever. i will have CT scans from here on out and would only have another PET if there were abnormalities on the CT. one more time of that ginormous straw-of-a-needle going into my arm to deliver the radioactive glucose... praying that glucose doesnt find a single cancer cell to light up on the scan and i once again, get an all clear that the cancer is obliterated! i hope youll pray with me :) as far as an update goes, i am feeling pretty good. my only frustration (which seems like NOTHING compared to past symptoms!) is my ridiculous fatigue. i wake up yawning and still sleep SO deeply while the kids nap. i was hopeful to have more energy than this by now but i have to remind myself to be patient. i had a nice burst of energy in the weeks after chemo and was excited for it to continue... and then i had radiation. haha, it knocked me down a few levels and i still just havent found my feet again. they say the radiation continues to work in your body for 4-6 weeks after treatment ends and as far as fatigue goes, ive heard a good rule of thumb is to expect about 2 months recovery time for every 1 month of chemo/radiation treatment you received... whew, hoping i can get energy back before a year... these kiddos would probably appreciate it too :) oh well, in the big picture i have very, very little to complain about and an enormous list of things to be thankful for- and i praise God for that! im still in awe that He has given me the peace He has throughout this whole ordeal. pretty stinkin cool. ill leave you with yesterdays devotional that is a perfect fit for a scan week - He still has my back ;) Trust Me and refuse to worry, for I am your Strength and Song. You are feeling wobbly this morning, looking at difficult times looming ahead, measuring them against your own strength. However, they are not today’s tasks—or even tomorrow’s. So leave them in the future and come home to the present, where you will find Me waiting for you. Since I am your Strength, I can empower you to handle each task as it comes. Because I am your Song, I can give you Joy as you work alongside Me. Keep bringing your mind back to the present moment. Among all My creatures, only humans can anticipate future events. This ability is a blessing, but it becomes a curse whenever it is misused. If you use your magnificent mind to worry about tomorrow, you cloak yourself in dark unbelief. However, when the hope of heaven fills your thoughts, the Light of My Presence envelops you. Though heaven is future, it is also present tense. As you walk in the Light with Me, you have one foot on earth and one foot in heaven. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. —Exodus 15:2 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. —2 Corinthians 10:5 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. —Hebrews 10:23 results will be back next monday, and i will share when i know something. have a wonderful week, yall! :)
