1/14-3rd Round

Hi All,

I'm getting ready to go in tomorrow for my third round. Dr. Rigberg said after this round we will do a re-evalutation. The really good part here is I don't have to do a 4th round from what it looks like. The bad part is I have to do another Octriotide scan. Yuck! The scan itself is no big deal. Just the cleaning out of your system that they ask you to do prior is the unpleasant part. But, whatever it takes to get to the end of all this. Right?!!

Then, and I am not exactly sure how soon, I will start doing the Chemo/Radiation combo treatment. I will do Chemo every Monday for 6 weeks. It will be a lower dose of chemo drug but will take about the same amount of time to administer. Then I will go right after to do radiation. And I will do radiation Mon. through Fri. He said the Radiologist might want to do that part for 8 weeks. I will have to meet this new doctor and find out all the other details from him. Just taking it all one step at a time.

Please pray as God leads you. I have been doing really well for the most part. Things to continue praying for...Energy-no anemia, no fatigue, no mouth sores, no nausea or other intestinal issues and no issues with my veins this time. I think my veins are getting tired of all the poking.

Thank you all for your faithful friendship and faithful prayers and support!! It has made this trying time really an amazing time watching God's people do their wonderful thing!! This can be such a lonely time for some people. I have felt so surrounded and loved. I really don't feel like I am going through this alone at all!! You are all such amazing and lovely people. I love you all so much!!

God Bless each and every one of you, Peggy
