It is Tuesday morning and I don't have to be at chemo until 10:30. It was nice to be able to sleep in a little more and not have to rush around to get ready. Yesterday's chemo went alright. They gave me some medicines which made me very sleepy. I was completely out of it! I was still out of it yesterday evening. I guess Mike called me a bunch of times, which I didn't hear my phone, and then he was so worried he actually came over to check on me. I was fine, just sleeping.
I woke up this morning feeling a little nauseated. I haven't felt like that on a Tuesday morning before, but as they say the side effects build as your treatments go on. I have taken some nausea medicine already, so hopefully I can keep it at bay.
For this round of treatment they knock out two of the six medicines. Hopefully that will help next week not be too rough. I am keeping my fingers crossed and lifting prayers.
I did have some not so good news yesterday while at the doctor. My CA125 test, which is a blood test to see the level of cancer in your body, was up quite a bit from where it was the last time. It had been going down every time, but this last time it went up. The doctor was a little concerned by the results and I have scheduled to have a CT scan of my abdomen and pelvis, just to make sure there is no new tumor growth. The doctor did say that there were lots of other things, not just cancer, which can make that test have high readings. I am hoping it is one of those factors, not cancer. Please keep me in your prayers...I am very nervous about this.
I know that God is in control and that no matter what is going on with me, He is walking with me. That gives me peace, but sometimes the worry just sneaks in.

Hey, Sheri, I'm sorry I wasn't able to come out and visit with you today! I always look forward to being able to sit with you between your second session of a round and your third session, but today I just wasn't able to. I love to just be able to shoot the "breeze" with you.
But do know I was thinking about you all day and saying secret little prayers in our public school!
I know you are worried about your results from some tests and I can offer you my support, love, prayers, and anything else you may need that I can't think of.
You are an amazing person and I am constantly amazed at how you have been able to take on this journey! We all love you!
Love,
Michelle
The Lord knew that those counts were going to be up today. He knew it before you were even born! He is not AT ALL surprised. He is waiting to see what you're going to do about it.
I will continue to pray for healing in your little body. The Lord is healing you gradually, but not so you can just be brought back to health for yourself. He is going to also see how you depend on him when you are well. You are going to do great things with his help! You have been down a road many of us have never traveled. Thanks for YOUR courage.
I love you!

Throughout each and every day, I share many silent prayers and blessings with our God for your continued healing and peace in His will. As we give and receive the faith, hope, courage and strength of this illness, may we all be centered in love. Know in your heart and mind, I am here for you! Whatever your needs and desires may be for today, tomorrow and in our future, I'm with you. I love you Sheri, God bless!!!
With much love,
Mary
