Hi all my blogger buddies, How's this for a fun party! My kids gave Casey and I a 70's style 30 year anniversary party this past weekend. As you can see, we had quite a few people. I wanted to invite so many more but our house and back yard prohibited it. We had a great time and lots of laughs with all the 70's costumes. Our theme was peach color because I had Casey dress in a peach colored tux for our wedding. We had beautiful flowers, lava lamps, disco ball, and even a hookah with peach flavored tobacco. Looking at the pics makes me realize I have had a wonderful full life with many, many blessings. As for my health, I have been doing really well lately. Very few issues which is a surprise after 11 treatments. When I went in for my blood work and to have treatment back on Oct 8th, my counts were all up. I was at 2.9 for my white count and 1.7 for the GRA which is the baby whites. They look at that more than the total white count because they want to make sure my body is still producing. I was down and not feeling good for 4 days and then on Sunday I felt like a new person. I had so much energy I started my Christmas shopping! I have had very few issues this treatment and the only reason I can figure out is; prayers, the new Acai pills my friend MaryJo gave me, and I continue to walk most days. I have my next treatment on the 31st and then a CT scan is scheduled for the 13th on November and the results are on the 17th when I have the follow up appointment at UCSF. I don't know at this point if I'll continue on the same treatment, take a break and just stay on Avastin, or (with Gods blessing) have surgery. No one knows but God what the next step will be. I'm just glad I'm feeling good and able to withstand the treatment. I'm taking one day at a time and enjoying it. With Thanksgiving and then Christmas just around the corner, I have to stay strong and full of energy so I'll keep doing what I'm doing and not worry about what the next step is. I'm in Gods hands and I know it. He will direct my path and He says it clearly in this verse.
Psalms 32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you."
Thank you for your continued prayers. As I said, that is why I'm doing so well. I hope you all have a happy and safe Halloween and don't eat too much candy!!!
