Health Update

My hysterectomy went really good; I was woken up by the doctor telling me NO CANCER AND YOU CAN GO HOME. That was the two best things Steve and I have heard in a long long time.

I had my third chemo treatment on March 26th, and I did really well. I only got sick that night, but I think it was because I was stuck in traffic for three hours due to a wreck and I got to hot. They only problems I have had this go around is very sore muscles and joints. Some days it hurt to move my neck and my legs hurt so badly I wanted to cry.

I went to the doctor for my blood work on Monday the 2nd, my counts were really low. I was told to be really careful and not go around anyone sick, and stay away from fresh veggies and fruit.

I did go to Church last night and I hope to go tonight and all the services they are having on Sunday. I figure that is one place that God will protect me.

All my hair, eye brows, and most of my eye lashes are gone. So far the kids hasn't even noticed my eye brows are gone. I think it is because I wear glasses and you can't see them. I don't take my glasses off until I go to bed.

My next Chemo treatment is April 16th, and I go for more blood work on Monday, so hopefully they are up.

I hope everyone has a blessed Easter.

Love in Christ,
Renee
