LIFE AT 60 - 2ND ROUND DAY 8

I was debating writing tonight or another night and decided that I probably ought to do it tonight.  Got some things on my mind, so why not?  :)

Well it has been 6 days since the Neulasta shot, and PRAISE GOD NO ill effects.  As you all know since i wrote about it, we tried a couple of new things for this round.  Last time if you recall, I had horrible side effects from the shot, and was absolutely miserable for about a week.  This time we started using Claritin and Motrin about 3 days before the "anticipated" shot date, however we also changed that to a day later.  It all seems to have worked because this time NO PAIN!  YAY!  I dont know what worked the best, but obviously any or all of what we tried worked.  SO my thought is that if any of you are going thru what I am and have issues with the Neulasta, give these a try!

One thing that I do know for certain.  The nodes in my neck are almost totally gone as far as feeling them, and Im assuming that the thing on my voice box is about gone as well.  This is all awesome news. Im pumped!  :)

I had decided several weeks ago that I was going to sing in the Easter Choir at church, if there was going to be one.  While I had several people say maybe I should not sing, or for me to not get my hopes up about being able to sing, or just plain rest, there was a choir and I did sing!  I sang on Friday night for the Good Friday service, and then practiced on Saturday for 2 hours, then sang in 2 services on Sunday!  The upshot of all this is I had NO ill effects from this.  My voice is fine, and in fact feels better that it has felt in months.  I did not have quite my whole normal range, but it was all good, and what I had got a good workout!  LOL!  Why is this significant?  Because this "tumor thing" is on my voice box, supposedly keeping me from doing such things.  I've said many times, I NOT giving the "c" word ANY credence and will continue to do so.  My healing was bought and paid for on the cross when Jesus died and took on that healing by His stripes.  (Isaiah 53:4-5)  Now it is just a matter of the Dr's saying so.  YES I will continue treatments, but I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am healed.

I've had several people tell me to expect this or that as far as the treatments go.  In all honesty, I've been tired, had some "GI" issues LOL, but really this time around nothing else.  The 1st round was kinda skewed because I got the flu on top of everything else!  So in my humble opinion Im blessed!  Kinda hard to believe that I would say that, but honestly I feel that way.  I could be a whole lot worse than I am and Im not!  Could use some extra energy, but that will come!  Bike riding season is upon us and I will eventually get out and ride!  Probably not 20 miles 1st few rides, but I'll get there!

Have a blessed day!
