Journal entry by Janice Dimond —
Chemo #3 today. Eight hours later, I’m finished.
Two things- God is still good and I am still fighting!
As is the journey in someone with cancer, this past few weeks had it's ups and downs. The day after the last chemo, I ended up in the ER with a fever and chills. Honestly, I was in a dark, dark place. Just so tired of this journey. I actually told God I was ready to go. But, He said, "No." So, I sent out a prayer request to a few of my prayer warriors and they got busy praying God's light and hope back into my life.
As the week progressed, I went from depression to gratitude. The CT scan they did at the ER showed that there was no fistula that they could see!!! Praise God!!! Also, they showed no more blockage. Again, Praise God! I am able to eat almost everything now. Still small portions, but such variety! And, in the end, they sent me home. So, no hospital stay!
Since then, I have been getting back in the fight. I've posted a video (youtube link) of a very short example of my work out. I am breathing in 90% oxygen and wearing a sauna suit to sweat out the toxins. Normally, I am blasting praise songs to keep my mind on the God Who is giving me this ability.
Prayer Requests
-Still praying against getting any infections. Yesterday, we were told that I need to get my gallbladder drain replaced ASAP. That always ends with an infection, so prayers they will come up with a way to get it done and no infections.
-Still losing weight. Prayers that I can eat enough.
-Prayers for healing
