Hi everyone,

Thanks for the prayers. All things considered, the day went well. I had a long day only because I had to wait for my lab work but the infusions took about two and half hours. My very dear friend (also a bc survivor) came to visit and it made things easier. Nothing like old girlfriends to get a few laughs out of you and bring your spirits back up.

I actualy feel well at the moment. Maybe a little tired. I feel like God has renewed my strengh to fight this new battle. I had prayed that if there was cancer in my body that it would be revealed quicky. A bright red rash on your breast can certainly get your attention. So I know this is just part of my journey.

I hope you all know how special you have become to me. When I first found out of my recurrance, you were the third to know only after my husband and my mom. That just shows you how high you rank in my books.

Thanks again for all the prayers. Please keep them coming.

Hugs,
Tonya

Hi Tonya,
Thanks for letting us know how your day went. I'm glad things went well and I'm glad you feel as if you have renewed strength for the journey.

Prayers that "tomorrow" is a good day and the treatments are easy on you but TOUGH AS HELL on the cancer.

Love to you,

Mary Jo
