Bell Day-Part Two

Journal Entry-October 20, 2010

I got to ring the Bell again yesterday at the Cancer Center when I finished my last Herceptin! I have an Echo today, a PET scan next Wednesday, and then back to Dr. Go on Nov. 5. If all the tests turn out alright, he will send me to Dr. Young to have my port removed! It will be nice to close this chapter of active treatment and move on!
I can't believe that the first quarter of school is already gone! Joey is finishing up soccer at HPCS with the State Tournament next week. He is also in the play Matchmaker and has been busy with rehearsals. We had a wonderful time at the Family Conference at the Wilds a few weeks back! I love Fall and I will be glad when our "summer" days of Fall are over and we get to the nice mild weather we're used to around here!
Thanks for all your meals, cards, and prayers as I finished up my Herceptin. God is good!

My Journal of Remembrance of God's Blessings

"Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body." Philippians 1:19-20

I am continuing this journal to help me remember all of God's blessings to me through this journey. It has been and will be a source of encouragement to me that I can return to again and again. I will post my progress as I continue treatment for my cancer, but more than that, I will record encouraging thoughts and verses that others have sent to me along the way. I hope they will be an encouragement to you, as well. The Lord is the same in any trial or struggle that we go through-the same yesterday, today, and forever!
