4/6-It Is Finished!

Dear Friends and Family,

I couldn't think of a more appropriate day to be able to use this title. What a wonderful thing Jesus did for all of mankind this day 2000 years ago. Because of His wounds, I am healed!! Thank you Jesus!!! Just yesterday, I finished my final cancer treatment! Hooray!!!

Monday I went to Dr. Rigberg and again my white cells were too low to do my last chemo. So I was able to forgo it. I do not have to make it up, so that was that!! Hooray, again. I think it was God's way of saying you do not need anymore! On Tues. the radiation machine was down so they did not treat me. So instead of being done on Wed. I was done on Thurs. They even presented me with an official graduation certificate. I was so happy, I even got a little teared up.

That is all the treatments that they have scheduled for me. I am going to just be watched from here out. I get my blood checked in two weeks to make sure my white cells are bouncing back. And in six weeks I go back to the radiologist to make sure my healing is going well. Right now I'm just looking forward to getting more energy and for my esophagus to heal. Swallowing has been painful. They said give your body about 10 days. They said with the swallowing to be careful because I will feel better before I am all better and some rough foods could re-injure my esophagus. Hopefully I will remember to take it easy there. Also, sometime in May they will restudy me again. I'm believing that God has totally healed me.

Thank you all for all the prayers and support you have given me and my family during this time of challenge. I feel this has been a total group effort. I have not felt all alone in this process by any means. I have felt so lifted up and loved. It has helped me, for the most part, just keep doing all the stuff I normally do. I'm looking forward to getting on with life with a little more energy now. Words cannot express how deeply grateful I am to all of you for all that you have done for all of us.

Lots of love and lots of blessings, Peggy
