Whirlwind ....

I am just back from a CT scan.  Yes, a CT scan booked on Saturday night.  All I can do is just contemplate how these past few days have been a whirlwind and I feel like I am just along for the crazy ride.

I saw my medical oncologist on Wednesday, March 5 where I was told that 'the new chemo starts tomorrow'. The chemo that I had been on since August 2013 had not done its job.  So on Thursday I went in for a dose of Herspetin and some Vinorelbine.  After three hours in the chemo treatment area, I was allowed to go home.  It is a good thing that my husband was driving because I was shaking and had severe chills.  On the trip home my surgeons office called.  Surgery was booked for Tuesday, March 11 as long as my blood counts were good enough.  Blood work needed to be done on Monday, March 10 and I needed to book an appointment.  Then I was to see the medical oncologist on Wednesday with the possibility of more chemo on Thursday.  Things were suddenly falling into place. Whew!

Surgery went well enough that my surgeon, although he had to go deeper than he had anticipated, was quite happy and felt that he got it. However, I am still sore and let out a yelp when the technician at the CT lab tonight wanted me to put my hand above my head.  My medical oncologist has decided that I need to be on a new chemo drug.  The trick now is to get funding for it even though it is approved for use in Canada. And the really good news is that the second chemo was cancelled which means two weeks off of chemo.  The doctor thought that I had been through enough in the last few days.  For now, I am waiting for pathology results and praying lots that God continue to travel with me. In 9 days I see my surgical oncologist and in 10 days I see the medical oncologist to get the details of my new treatment plan.

I am currently inspired by the following ....

 "Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?"
  Jeremiah 32:26 and 27

God is the God of all and nothing is too hard for Him! God is good!

I continue to pray.  All is well! :)
