Round #6 Done! YEA!

6 hours from start to finish yesterday pretty much was exhausting but Round #6 (of 8) is done! Yea! God opened a couple more doors of opportunity to share His comfort to others & we feel our "chemo" friends are no coincidence! So, in the midst of difficult, difficult days, the blessings of relationships grow & prosper! Only God can do that!
I'm feeling pretty well right now due to the large amounts of steroids & pain meds given to take these rounds of chemo. Joint swelling is one of the serious side-effects & to fight that, doctors administer high doses of steroids with the chemo. As this wears off today, the high fatigue takes over. That's what happened to me last round. There's nothing to be done for this kind of fatigue but to wait it out. I'm so thankful for the anti-pain medicines, so I'll just endure the faitgue... trade one for the other, right? I'm also praying God minimize all side-effects as they are doozies!
You contiue to amaze Mike & me with your love, support & commitment to pray for us! There's no way we could be thriving through this without the power of your prayers & the mercy of our Lord! He truly, truly is good everyday. You know this, too, in your own lives. He's amazing to watch & His mercies come at every turn!
Blessings!
