Thankful For A Good Week

This has been a good week for Cheryl. She had her Monday treatment of Taxol in her IP (abdominal) port and other than feeling a little tired, she has felt no side effects. We drained her remaining PleurX catheter this evening and only pulled off 15cc of fluid. If it stays at this level or less, she should be able to get this drain removed after her next round of chemo.

Cheryl has done some light housework several days this week. Today she was so energetic that she decided to bake some pumpkin muffins. They are quite tasty, so the several months out of primary kitchen duty haven't diminished her baking skills.

We are so very thankful for our church family and neighbors that pitched in to carry her back and forth each day for this cycle. She has enjoyed the chance to talk and catch up with everyone. Please be praying that Cheryl's next round of chemo, which will end the Monday before Thanksgiving, goes as well as this has gone.

  1. You know we are praying that with you! We want her to be able to enjoy that turkey she ordered - and all the food Sharon & I are cooking! :~)

  2. So glad for more good news. I know you're looking forward to a wonderful family Thanksgiving. I'm picking up my granddaughter tomorrow and we'll have her over Thanksgiving too. When will they be through with all your chemo treatments?

    We're still praying daily for your healing.
