Hi Everyone,
Hoping everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for in this great country. We are a blessed nation!
Just an update to let you know that I have my appointments set to start the new "Phase 3" chemo drug called Picoplatin. I go this Thurs. for my "screening" as they call it. It's an ECG on my heart, height, weight, temp., blood sample etc...stuff like that. Then I am scheduled at 8 am Wed. the 10th to get my first infusion. It will be a long 7 hour day. The infusion itself will only take about an hour. But, they need to draw blood ever hour after that for several hours. Also, that night I will need to sleep with a heart monitor. It's part of what the FDA is requiring the study to do before it is approved. The monitor will be removed the following morning. I will most likely stay overnight at the hotel across the street.
I am trusting the hand of God to move me in the direction toward healing. Please pray with me for healing and little to no side effects as I go through this new season of treatment. I continue to feel God's peace regarding all of this. I do have thoughtful moments of sadness, worry and concern about the future. I guess I wouldn't be all human if I didn't . I feel blessed that when those thoughts come I am able to acknowledge them and then move on. I don't just stay there. This sickness by no means consumes my every thought. I thank God for that. I am blessed to have the family that I have. It surely provides me with many distractions along this crazy road.
Much love to you all. Enjoy this holiday season and rejoice that our Savior was born so we could be saved! Heaven is going to be great! I just don't want to go there quite yet.
Love ya all!! Peggy

Peggy, I will be praying for total healing! Keep you eyes open as to why God has you on this path, maybe it's to be there for someone else or maybe He's bringing something or someone you need, only God knows and He is sometimes gracious to show us! Don't fret the sadness, worry and concern, you are right it's normal and you are very human! You are and have been in a fiery battle! But God will prevail and I am so thankful for the peace He has blessed you with through all of this! You are His precious daughter and He loves you! Have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year (of healing) :-)
Love ya!

Peggy,
I woke up this morning and knew I had to go before the Lord on behalf of someone and now I'm reading your blog and it's you, my sister. :-) I will implore the Lord to heal the Lord, to strengthen you, to refresh you through and through. Love you!
Still loving your updates and praying for you!!!
Much love, Geneva :-)
Hey there lady.
Sounds like you have a good handle on this messy situation. Feel the feelings, cry the tears, dream your dreams, then move on. Good for you.
I truly feel you are right where the Lord wants you to be. His special miracles shine most brightly when humans are out of answers.
Take a fresh look around this holiday season. Make this one extra special and full of great memories. This year you will find more meaning in even the smallest of things than you ever did before. I promise.
Love ya my lady.
Darla P.
