Good Morning Special Family & Friends,
I had planned to write last night....but was to exhausted when we got back from seeing the Dr.
I was "loaded for bear" when we went to see Dr. Sedlacek..my new oncologist. I was sure I wasn't going to put and "meds." in my body....unless he could show me a good enough reason.
Well he was a heck of a 'salesman'! First 'hole' in my thinking was it turned out to be stage 1 instead of 0. I had read lots on Tamoxifen and was sure I didn't want it....can cause ovarian cancer and blood clots. Well...Dr. Sedlacek recommended Arimidex which doesn't have those side effects. Thank the Lord!! So for the next 5 years my daily compaion will be this drug!!
Even though it had gone to stage 1 it was a tiny spot and I won't have to have chemo or radiation!! I am so blessed.
I would like for you all to whisper a prayer for my brother-by-love ..Don Morgan. He had been having chest pain over the week-end. They admitted him to the hospital yesterday and was doing a chemical stress test this morning. I pray they won't find anything. Jeanette and Don and Linda, Wayne (both my sisters) and their families and grandkids...plus Teresa and her family were checking into a condo in Tx. this Friday. Praying their time together will happen.
Thanks for your continued prayers and love,
Donna
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And this is what we are! 1 John 3:1 (We are all blessed!!)

Hi Donna, I had not been able to check your blog for a while and I am so pleased to hear your good news. You are an amazing woman and there is no doubt in mind that you will be perfectly okay.
I was home for chemo a week ago and had a wonderful package from Outreach of Hope. Thank you so much for thinking of me and for your prayers and support. You indeed know how we fully rely on our Lord to carry us through. I just found out that my treatment is not really working as well as I had expected, however my cancer is stable for now and I should have my last cycle on July 7th. After that, Rituxan maintenance is the recommendation as long as possible. My doctor will also refer me to a transplant center to start considering a bone marrow transplant. For now, I'm really looking forward to being off the drugs for a while.
Please know that you and Lloyd are in my daily prayers. Jon and I plan to be up in Estes for Labor Day, please let us know if you'll be in town. Take care and stay strong.
Love,
maritza
