Thyroid-6/20

Hi All,

Hope the Summer has started out well for everyone. We have already been busy with sleepovers, swimming and movies! Hooray for Summer!! We also have a Disneyland visit to anticipate this August. It will be a first time for Josh. We have been saving exclusively for that with garage sales and other things. And we have been blessed with some unexpected blessing to make it all happen this August. We had to set aside a specific fund because it would never happen otherwise. I can't believe how many different medical places send me bills. It is very discouraging and also makes me feel guilty that my sickness is taking all the family's extra money and then some. I had been praying for some time that God would help to make this happen. The kids need to have fun memories of growing up. Family fun time is important. I hate having our lives revolve around my cancer. And it shouldn't! God is so awesome to answer this humble prayer. If He can do this simple "Disneyland Prayer". Surely He is working on all the other health and financial prayers too. I love our God!!

Anyways...a bit of a tangent there. I wanted to write here to request prayer. My most recent blood test has shown that my thyroid is high or hyper thyroid. Kind of a new thing for me. I have not had any issues here. I don't know a lot about thyroid stuff. Dr. Rosen just asked me to stop the cancer drug over the weekend and have my blood checked on Monday to see if it is the drug that is causing the thyroid to act up. If yes, then we will try a lower dose of the new drug that is working. I have noticed that I have been excessively sweaty. I thought it was due to Summer and menopause. They seem to think it may be connected to the hyper thyroid. We will see. Please pray for this organ or whatever it is to regulate correctly. From what I understand the thyroid effects many functions in your body. Thank you all so very much!!

I am praying for total healing! Thanks for joining me on this mission!!

Love to all, Peggy

Happy Father's Day to you Larry. Let Peggy take this day to wait on YOU.

Peggy, I hope another reason for the high thyroid can be found. I know the new medicine is working and you don't want to cut it down. The Lord hears our prayers.

Disneyland is going to be great. But, it is a LOT of walking. Get an electric scooter and let the kids take turns with you riding on it. You don't want to ruin a wonderful day by wearing yourself out.

My prayers are still with you my friend. I will pray to the Lord of finances, health and Disneyland on your behalf. He is faithful, no matter what!

Love you!

Peggy. I stand amazed at the impact of cancer, but even more so the ability of some (like you) to continue the normal daily things, like planning a trip to Disneyland. That's so great!

I'll be praying for your thyroid condition. Been there, done that, chasing the thyroid output--no fun at all.
