I wish those who had birthdays yesterday an apology for not saying a very happy birthday weel to you. So Iwill wish you a belated happy birthday week to you all. I have started my second round of chemo yesterday, am home now. These 2 chemos that I am now on, I think is the last of my treatments. Hopefully it will just be follow-ups after that. Each chemo treatment will be 3 weeks apart, for which I am very grateful. I am well set up with anti-nausea drugs which is a blessing. I also have mitts and gloves with freezer packs to wear during treatment to help prevent neuropathy of hands and feet. I am so well cared for by my hardworking handsome hubby/caregiver. I continue to be grateful for each and every prayer uttered for both my hubby and for me. I am the most blessed person on earth.

Karen, so happy you have gotten to your final treatment......your poor body and mind has been thru a brutal battle and I know you have come out on the winning side with God's arms around you, as well as all your supportive friends and wonderful hub!! God bless you and stay as rested as you can as your body heals........much love to you!

Chemo is very debilitating to say the least. I know from experience and like you my wonderful husband was there for me through all of it. I have been in remission for 5 years and feeling very well.

My very best wishes for the future and a hug from one who has been there.

Thanks, and congratulations to you for your very special milestone. I love to hear good news. I admit, I could not do this without Rob's superb care. I am so grateful for best wishes, hugs and the reminder that so many people are also praying.

Hi Karen, so glad to read this news. Being positive as you are, can only help you stand all that is happening. So grateful too for Rob who continues to look after you. God bless you both and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love Chris

Thanks. I'm so glad you are picking up your own life after all you have been through while also trying to care for your mum. I admit, when I get down, I think of all the incredible people we met while going radiation. I can't stay down for long when I think how blessed I am to have Rob and so many prayer warriors helping me.

Thank God you are almost done and tolerating it well! Your optimism is incredible! I am keeping you and your DH both in my prayers! Hugs and well wishes!

Thanks. I hope all is well with you too. We find it easier to be positive, especially after meeting so many who have been living with cancer for years while we have been starting our journey.

Thanks for the update. I am glad you are almost done with treatment and your healing will continue. Still praying for you and hubby!

Thanks. I know Rob is struggling trying to keep up with everything. So, you know each and every prayer is very much valued. I admit, yesterday was a tough day, but thanks to prayers and hugs and anti-nausea meds, we got through it quite well.

Karen a gentle hug and many, many positive thoughts from Wales

Thanks. I so appreciate the very special Welsh hug. The thought of you and your beautiful country brings a smile to my face.

I'm so grateful you have someone that takes care of you. Even better, it is someone you love. You're doing all you can do. I pray the Lord will continue to bless you both!
