Three Down and Three to Go

I'm half way there.  I had my third treatment today. There were a few complications with my port, however they were resolved and we finished around 6:00 pm.  I am feeling pretty well.  I am fatigued and a little winded.  I have also been having a lot of hot flashes today.  Last week when I saw my doctor, she said that my CA 125 test is down to 8.5 from 57 before surgery and 11 a few weeks ago.  This means the treatments are working and getting rid of cancer antigens in my body.  I will have a CT scan done with dye within the next couple of weeks to make sure everything looks good on the inside.  My blood work has been good for a few weeks now.  I have so much to be thankful for.  I am so grateful that my cancer was found early and for God's faithfulness to carry me through this whole process.  I am thankful for my husband and his strength and unwavering dedication to love me and take care of me.  I am thankful for countless family members and friends who bless me in so many ways and are faithfully praying for me.  My cup truly runneth over.

Psalm 23

 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
 3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
   for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
   through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me.
 5 You prepare a table before me
   in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
   my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
   all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
   forever.
