Then I\u2019ll have scans again. As was the case with these past two cycles, I\u2019ll be monitored to see if certain counts are getting too low and, if they do, as happened the first cycle, I may have to take a longer break from the second medicine. However, even though my counts today weren\u2019t quite as high as my oncologist would like, she gave me the go-ahead to resume the second medicine tomorrow, but wants me to have my blood rechecked in a week instead of waiting two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>My doctor is pleased that the side effects from this treatment have been minimal and that my energy and stamina continue to improve. And although I do have pain from the cancer in the bones, it doesn\u2019t seem to be getting any worse at this time and rarely is bad enough for me to take pain medicine for it. She again recommended that I be cautious, keeping in mind how much this treatment lowers my immunity and that my cancer-damaged bones are fragile, but otherwise expects me to go on with my day-to-day routine.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t adequately express how much I appreciate the love and prayer support you all continue to give me, but I can say that you all are awesome blessings in my life. Thank you for everything you do!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Father, thank you for answered prayer!
