This chemo complete-8/7

Hi All,

Well, I completed this third different kind of chemo on Monday. I still feel yucky from it though. I will get a break from it all next week when Larry and I go to Virginia to a Foursquare Retreat Center. It's free for the pastors of the denomination. We will be blessed to be refreshed and it all comes right around our 12th anniversary. Hooray!! We leave this coming Tues. and return the following Monday. The kids will be staying with friends and family members while we are away.

As I said before the tumor in my neck by my collar bone is less prominent. I am praying that all the others are doing the same or even more so. I asked Dr. Rigberg on Monday if the scan conclude the same thing and that they are indeed getting smaller, what is the next step. He said, "Then we will do more of the same." He said it is a big deal that after all these tries we have found something that is working. Nothing else in the past has stopped it from progressing. Not, surgeries, not radiation not two other chemo treatment. Even though more chemo sounds awful to me...it is all still very good news. I am praying that this week and the week we are away that these tumors just altogether disappear. Pray with me that God would do these miracles and that the doctors will be surprised!!

Here is my verse again that I keep claiming....

"Any plant that my Heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted." Matthew 15:13

Lexie just returned from camp and had a great time with the other church kids. I asked if she cried this year. She said only once. She said that during worship one night she sensed that the Lord spoke to her and said that her mother is healed. And that deeply touched her. And me too!! We all just keep believing that God is at work in and around us and that all of this is to show His power and glory. We will keep trusting Him!!

We had a great time with family at my Grandpa's 90th birthday party. There were 48 relatives there. It was so good to see our Aunt, Uncles, Cousins and their families again. It had been a long time since we have all been together. We had a chance to visit the Sequoia's the next day since it was only 1 hour away. It was good to have a little vacation with at least two of the kids. Lexie was still at camp and missed this event.

Thanks for all countless prayers for my healing. We are praying for a miracle to take place and that Jesus is glorified through the process. Thanks for the faith on my behalf.

I love you all, Peggy

Peggy,

It was so good to see you yesterday. I thought you looked terrific. You're the only one I know who can make a bald head look good :o)

I wanted to share some verses with you that God has used to encourage me in so many circumstances. I hope they encourage you too.

Deau 31:8 - "The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

Isa. 41:13 - "For I am the Lord your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, do not fear; I will help you."

Isa. 41:10 - "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand."

I continue to stand with you as you fight this battle and will wait expectantly to celebrate big time when all this is just a memory.

Love you,
Donna Hess

Two vacations in two weeks. You are going to get spoiled girl!

Don't let it go to your head. One of these days you are going to be back to normal and you will be busy singing the praises of our Lord to everyone who will listen.

And make no mistake...many will listen. There are people who need your message.

Lexie is such a sweetheart and she is most definately right. The Lord is promising you that your body will be healed. Maybe in this life, maybe the next. Either way, Lexie should feel assured that her mom is being well taken care of.

I feel so strongly that this coming week will be your turning point! The Lord is going to take this time to pour His Spirit over both you and Larry. Bask in His quiet and calm, my friends.

For next week I will cry and rejoice for you, and thank God for his unfailing touch in your life.

Thank you for sharing your struggles and triumphs with us. Your willingness to share is just one of many qualities about you that I admire.

Happy almost 12th!

Love ya girl.
