Journal entry by Jacquelyn Thomas —
I haven’t posted for awhile regarding my cancer, so wanted to give an update. I am still receiving IVIG Infusions each month as my immune system has still not recovered from chemo. They seem to help, but make me feel sick for a few days afterwards. The doctor explained that my body thinks it is a foreign substance and does a little “fighting within.”
At my last appointment, my doctor mentioned that my numbers have headed in the wrong direction, so more chemo may be needed, but she wants to wait and see what they do over the next few months. I am praying that it is just a “blip” and the numbers will remain stable.
Next month will be the 2 year anniversary of my diagnosis. I want to thank everyone that has loved and supported me through this, it certainly has not been an easy road, but I am alive, and for that I am thankful.
