Counting Blessings

From Doris:

The gastrointestinal side effects of my cancer drugs have leveled out a bit.

I met with a dietitian on Thursday.  She gave me very helpful suggestions.

My doctor is keeping me on 200 mg of oral chemo drug #2 for at least one more week.  My dose was supposed to increase to 400 mg this past Thursday.

I had another infusion. It lasted for 3.5 to 4 hours. Fatigue was the main side effect.

Paul and I walked around the infusion center with my IV pole. Another patient said she loves to see us walking together.  

My prescription pain medication is helping. I still have pain, but it is much less. I was unable to get out of a chair without Paul’s assistance before this Rx.

Tracy brought me and Paul smoothies on Friday.

I was able to get into the dentist to replace a filling that had fallen off my front tooth.

My Savior is helping me by giving me strength to endure.

One of the young women in our ward made dinner for us and dropped it off on Thursday. It was delicious and very much appreciated.
