Today was Lana's first chemo treatment and she came through it like a champ! The worst part was the shot she had to get in her stomach. She is feeling good right now and says she could literally feel all the prayers today when she went in. She got a lot of anti-nausea medication with the chemo, so she is crossing her fingers that it works. She will take it easy over the next few days and be very careful about germs as her white blood cell count will go way down from the chemo. No hugging and kissing on grandkids...only fist-bumping for now. More updates to come over the next couple of weeks. Thanks for all your prayers, texts, calls, gifts, love, and support!!
Here is Lana with her new short haircut and some fresh flowers that we have to take out of the house by Friday since they could have germs. Who knew?! |
Love the new hair! Happy to hear all went well with the first chemo! Hopefully those nausea meds do the trick and keep you feeling good! Always thinking about you and praying for this chemo to work its magic! You are awesome Lana!!

ReplyDeleteShoot! It didn't! I love you, and am praying for you as you go through this great trial. You are such an inspiration to me, and I'm so glad I found you!

ReplyDeleteEndless spoken and unspoken prayers are being said for you. you have laid it all on the alter -- and the Lord will take it from here. Remember the council of James "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." Karen and I are witnesses to the Loving Hand of the Lord in lives of those with cancer. Watch for the Miracles.
ReplyDeleteGo Lana! We are all behind you! Love your guts and hope those guts don't make you toooo sick!!! You are gonna win!!!
