I'll go in for round 3 next week; sessions 5-8 will be with the Taxol as well. As far as the benedryl, nothing knocks me out. Nothing. I hear about others sleeping for long periods of time during chemo. Not me. I've yet to have a full night; only snippets of an hour here and there. And the prednisone? Good gracious. It has blown me up like a blimp. I'm the fattest cancer patient in the free world. When they told me to graze, I took them literally. Now, I'm having to cut back. My pants don't fit. <br /><br />I am grateful for that, in a way. At least the meds have kept me from feeling sick.<br /><br />I'll be watching closely in the next few weeks. In many ways, you're paving the way for me. It helps me to have someone have a similar course of treatment. So many others are only going in for 4 rounds or 6. <br /><br />As I pray for myself, I pray for you as well; may God give you his strength for the journey ahead. You're almost there, sister. Keep to it, and take good rest in Him... with or without the benedryl!<br /><br />peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791476206573779663.post-12418604141984631862010-10-26T22:39:42.212-04:002010-10-26T22:39:42.212-04:00I had to take liquid benedryl when I was in labor ...I had to take liquid benedryl when I was in labor because I had an allergic reaction to the epidural.

Also glad to hear that you could make it to the game and hope you are enjoying your week-end with your beautiful family! I'm also so amazed that you conducted school from your bed! To juggle all that you do is another testimony to the power of God. He is not only carrying you through this, but also giving you the strength and power to minister to others in spite of it all! Have to say a big Amen to that! :)<br />Yes, He pours out His blessings!<br />You are in my continued prayers and I thank Him for you!A multi-dimensional lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182721376933664326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791476206573779663.post-12583103820782080662010-10-23T20:31:26.305-04:002010-10-23T20:31:26.305-04:00Thanking God that every thing went well this week!...Thanking God that every thing went well this week!

Thank you also, for sharing your prayer requests with me. It is my privilege to usher you and your families before God's throne."<br /><br />What you said is so true and yet how easy to forget ...it is a privilege to come before our God in prayer.<br /><br />As my heart has been opened lately through a number of things, I'm much more emotional. And as I read your words I began to cry. I see how you are trying to continue to live your life and be a mom and wife but also deal with chemo. You know I was a nurse for 25 years so I understand about the meds and IV Benadryl. No wonder you slept!<br /><br />Stacy, you are glorifying God in the midst of all that's happening in your life. I hope you know that. I see the Lord at work in you as you place your hope and trust in Him. <br /><br />I can't tell you how much this spoke to me:<br /><br />" Again the reminder that we are to press on in Christ, keeping our eyes on Him and not what lies ahead. To come to Him with a child-like faith....a faith of purity, simplicity, eagerness, trustworthiness, and sincerity. This is what God desires of us. To put aside what we know in our head and follow after Him and love Him with our heart, soul, mind and strength.:Again the reminder that we are to press on in Christ, keeping our eyes on Him and not what lies ahead.

Your post made me weep....for you and all you're going through and for the goodness of God in the midst of it all. Your heart sings that He is working it all for good and has given you this trial in His unfailing wisdom. I'm praying for you and will continue to do so. My cousin has been battling cancer of a different kind, and I "know" (used very loosely) of her different struggles and sicknesses. Like you, she is a beautiful picture of clinging to Him and glorifying Him in all she says and does. Hugs across the miles, new friend!Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612716398097555419noreply@blogger.com
