Staying away from chemo

Staying away from chemo is a good thing. My last chemo was 17 days ago (but who's counting) and the assumption is that by the time the surgery rolls around all will be well with my body. The doctors expect my white count to be back up and that I will be far enough from chemo for those chemicals not to be of any affect.
Seventeen days from the last infusion but fatigue and nausea still show their ugly effects. Not nearly as bad but they sneak up when not expected.

After being stuck in the house for two weeks I went to Church yesterday. It felt really good to get out and share my bald head with friends and family. I really appreciate our Church and especially our pastor Brian White. He teaches with wisdom beyond his years. You can visit the website at http://www.harvestnorthindy.org/ and listen to his last sermon.

Pam & I have said many times over the last couple of years that we expect the surgeon to be really good just once. We appreciate your prayers and would you especially be in prayer on March 16th at 8:00 a.m. when I'm in surgery.

God is good all the time!!

Psalms 66:19-20 But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God,because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me! ESV
