- Friday the 12th I go in for an echocardiogram so they can get a clear picture of my heart. The Herceptin can damage the heart sometimes, so this will allow them to keep a check on me.
- Some time the week after Valentines Day, I will go in for a day surgery to have a port cath put in my chest. This will allow them to give me the treatments there. My veins would not hold up to an I.V. every week for a year.
- The same day the port is put in, I will have my first treatment of chemo and Herceptin. I will have 6 treatments of chemo, 1 every 3 weeks till I reach the 6. I will have the Herceptin infusions every week for 1 year.
This week, I got an e-mail from a friend of my husbands. She said that the Lord had given her 2 verses for me and they are perfect "fight songs" for me as I get ready to head into this crazy year that lies ahead!
Jeremiah 32:27
"I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?"
Jeremiah 32:17
"Ah, Lord God! It is You who have made the heavens and the earth
by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm!
Nothing is too hard for You!

It can be very freeing emotionally to finally have a concrete plan of action! I'm excited for you... because God knows your game plan and He always plays to win! Love you cousin!
Sounds like you have a plan of action. If my calculations are right, you'll be finishing around the end of the school term. :)
It's good to see you're in that "fight mood"! When you hear cheers from Hixson, it'll be me. I'll be on the side line cheering you all the way to victory!!

Love you girl!
I just love that fighting spirit! And the two verses from Jeremiah are perfect. I am so pleased to see that 90% too. At our house, when we have a job that needs to get done, either my husband or I will often say "Giddyup!" . . . that's not one bit profound, but that's what I was thinking when I read that you're ready to start!
Giddyup!
