One more, Baby....ONE MORE!!!!!

So last Thursday I had Treatment #5 and things went as usual. I had my trusty sidekick with me who always seems to help the time pass quickly. A friend had asked what we do during the 3+ hours of treatment and I honestly couldn't say. We talk. The time just passes. He's so wonderful during these things.

Now I'm starting to see the horizon. I've got an MRI scheduled and an appointment with my breast surgeon. If things go as planned, my surgery will most likely be mid-April which really isn't that long from now. Sometimes I get a little anxious, but I know there is nothing to worry about. I like to shift my thoughts to the things I'd like to do once the treatments are behind me: a date of frozen margaritas, chips and salsa with Teague, taking Maddox to see "The Lorax", maybe a trip to the coast, etc. This kind of finish line is much nicer to focus on.

My doctor appointment went pretty well, my iron levels are finally up. Not by a ton and I still have to take 3 supplements a day, but enough to stop this crazy transfusion talk. Upon clinical exam, my oncologist couldn't detect my tumor at all. I tried to pin down a confirmation from her that I wouldn't need radiation for sure, but she wouldn't do it. It was worth a shot.

Thank you everyone for your attention and support. Without your prayers this tumor would still be ravaging my body. Without your prayers my iron levels would be too low for treatment. Without your prayers my state of mind would be down in the dumps. Without your prayers I wouldn't be smiling every day. Without your prayers I would not have the luxury of hope and community. God loves your prayers even more than me, so please keep them up :)

Next step: Treatment #6 on March 22 ****PARTY TIME****
Prayer Request: that I remain healthy enough for treatment on the 22nd and that radiation would not be necessary for my treatment plan
