Chemo Rescheduled

It has been awhile since I have given an update so I better get on it! I have been preparing to have my 3rd round of chemo this week and went to the doctor on Wednesday and my blood levels had not recovered enough so it did not happen. I wasn't completely surprised knowing my levels were pretty low the week prior and not rising quickly at all. The doctor didn't seem too concerned but does hope my body will make some progress in the next week. The doctor did look at some blood smears and saw some maturing white blood cells and did not see anything concerning so I was very relieved. So, chemo has been rescheduled for October 2nd, 3 days before my wedding anniversary (sorry hun). My sweet husband has been so patient and supportive through all this and I love and appreciate him so much! I know that everything happens for a reason and I continue to trust in my Heavenly Father and in his plan for me. Cancer is so unpredictable and treatments are not all going to be perfectly planned. I will enjoy this time of feeling good and take advantage of every minute. 

Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers that you send my way. I feel them and draw strength from them. My family and I continue to be blessed with the love and support of so many good people. It is so hard for me to be on the receiving end but our lives have been touched with the acts of service done in our behalf. I am grateful for parents, family, friends, ward members, and many others who continue to serve our family. There is still a long road ahead with 2 more chemo treatments and we will continue this fight! Please keep the prayers coming!!
