Okay, so last Thursday's chemo went well...Praise the Lord! 75% of the way through chemo...YEA! Only 6 weeks of Taxol treatments left. Then, a 3 week break for my body, before the 7 weeks of radiation, which is 5 days a week (M-F).

I have not buzzed my head for a couple weeks, and it seems to be growing back, still pretty thin, but not falling out (at this time). And, no rashes or itching at this time, other than the blotchy face.

I always say I am doing good, cause I feel I am doing good as I am not vomiting or nauseous! I can deal with being tired, hot flashes, and the other "things". ...Kinda like this "I'm Fine" poem says: :)

I'm Fine --

There's nothing whatever the matter with me.

I'm just as healthy as I can be. I have arthritis in both my knees. And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze.

My pulse is weak and my blood is thin, But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.

I think my liver is out of whack, And a terrible pain is in my back. My hearing is poor, my sight is dim, Most everything seems to be out of rim, But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.

My memory is failing, my head's in a spin, I'm peacefully living on aspirin. But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in.

The moral is, as this tale we unfold, That for you and me who are growing old, It's better to say, "I'm fine" with a grin Than to let them know the shape we're in.

-- Genevieve Baker

Hope you that are reading this have a great day!

From a recent commentary in my my Daily Walk Bible, NLT.
Today God offers his love and mercy, but there is coming a day when his wrath and judgment will pour down upon all who have ignored his invitation. That means you if you have spurned his offer of salvation in Jesus Christ. That means your unsaved family members and friends. And that means there is no better time than now to warn those you love of the peril they face by continuing in their unbelief. Can you afford to wait?

Prayer from the Billy Graham site (http://www.billygraham.com/) and there is a great video on this site:

How to Pray:

Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name. Amen.

God's Assurance: His Word
If you prayed this prayer, The Bible says ..."Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. " — Romans 10:13 (NIV)

Did you sincerely ask Jesus Christ to come into your life? Where is He right now? What has He given you?
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." — Ephesians 2:8,9 (NIV)

Receiving Christ, we are born into God's family through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer. This is called regeneration, or the "new birth." This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ.

To deepen this relationship you should:
1. Read your Bible everyday to know Christ better.
2. Talk to God in prayer every day.
3. Tell others about Christ.
4. Worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached.
5. As Christ's representative in a needy world, demonstrate your new life by your love and concern for others.
