Renae–7
Chemo–0
One more chemo treatment to go! To say I’m excited about that would be an understatement. I cannot wait to close this chapter in my cancer story. It hasn’t been the prettiest chapter. I’ve had my bad days, fought through them to get to my good days. I’ve lost my hair. I’ve cried angry tears, sad tears, nervous tears and happy tears. I’ve experienced pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Days when I wanted to just give up, but knew I could not. Lots of hard days, but within those hard days I was able to see grace. The meals being brought are so very helpful. It’s one less thing Tony and I have to worry about. The two amazing women who come clean my house. So selfless of them to want to clean my house. All the people who have helped with the boys. Getting them off the bus because my treatments have run long. Knowing I’m not feeling my best and friends will come get the boys so I can rest. Having a friend come help the boys get ready for school because I couldn’t get out of bed because of the pain. Kara Tippetts taught me how to find Gods grace in the midst of the hard. I look everyday for grace. And it always shows up.
Seven is my lucky number. Today’s treatment went well. I felt good and only slept a little at the end. My brother, Ryan came to keep me company. It was nice to have him there with me. We hardly get to have one on one time, so it was nice to chat and laugh with him. He went and got us Chick-fil-A for lunch and it was delicious.
I came home to my own Easter basket full of yummy goodies! And the one and only, delicious cupcakes from Gigi’s! All from my wonderful neighbors, Sandie, Ben and their three boys. I say it all the time, but I really do have the best neighbors. 😊
I’m going to enjoy the next couple of days before the joint pain sets in. I will fight through that pain and get back to my good days. Only one more time of going through it. I can and I will do this.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
