Chemo Treat # 3

Good morning all,

It's that time again... another round and one more down. I spoke with nurse yesterday and she eased my mind concerning the new cocktail. She says side effects are pretty much the same except the fatigue. I should expect the fatigue to be more severe than previously which may result in a few more aches and pains, but with lots of rest I should be ok. Still planning on trying to make it to work tomorrow, then shot tomorrow afternoon and home to rest for the next three days. If all goes well I will try to go to work on Monday, but have decided not to push it. If I feel bad I will stay home Monday and go back on Tuesday. I am feeling anxious of course this morning , but took an ativan so hopefully that helps. My bags are packed and I am ready to go. I am not sure when I will be on here next, but will try to keep you updated as best as I can. I feel your amazing prayers and support this morning as my daily word hit the nail right on the head. I will post it here so you can share in the amazing messages that I get each day which always seem to fit whats in my heart. I love you all and hope you have an amazing week.
Worry-FreeAll things are working for my highest good.
When I worry, I am agreeing that external things have power over me. But when I put thoughts of anxiety and worry out of my mind, I rest in the assurance that all things are working for my highest good. I readily see that I cannot think an anxious thought while thinking thoughts of good, trust and confidence. I cannot be disturbed when I abide in the presence of God.
This is not an exertion of my willpower, which may cause as much mental tension as worry itself. It is a laying aside of worry by focusing on peace, faith and assurance. I let the positive thoughts crowd out the worry and fill my mind so full that I am no longer anxious. Life is revealed to me in a new way when I no longer give in to worry.
Do not worry about your life.--Matthew 6:25
