I wanted to give you a Monday update on my cancer journey. This past week was pretty good in all. I did most of my normal things although most days did take ginger or drank ginger ale (I found Bedfords diet ginger beer that is sweetened with stevia and non-alcoholic. It actually is good, but I am out so I will need to find a more permanent location for it since we got ours at TJ Maxx which does not always have it). My left leg still is larger than my right leg, so I try to keep it up when I am sitting or laying down to help. I have an appointment with my radiologist this week so I will ask her about it. I do not feel like I did before all of my treatments, but at least I can still do things unlike the week after chemo which is great. So all in all I can give a positive update this week. I like that!
Thank you again for your prayers, cards, offers to help and absolutely everything you all do. I really appreciate it. You all are great! You are wonderful! And with that, here is today's card:
