Yesterday was the last Adriamycin/Cytoxin treatment and the end to my first phase of chemo therapy!!!!!! Yahoo! It went well and I feel pretty good today. Can't believe I have completed the toughest part! And the other cause for celebration, I am done for four weeks! No poking, no dripping, no shot, nothing until October 1st! yahoo!
Side effects today are minimal! Once again, divine intervention has graced me with energy, no nausea, limited anxiety, and I am still awake after no nap!!!!! Thank you for all you prayers! They are answered every day! Now that I am off for a while, it's back to exercising in the pool, physical therapy, and back to work! I will be working the first two weeks, starting on the 8th and working through the 18th. Then we will take BT and cousin Brandon to college at Eastern! WOW! Can't believe it! From there, it is VACATION and rest for me for the next 8 school days. My very good friend, Angela will be available to provide my students with what the need and be able to continue teaching my curriculum. She is a veteran by now with my students! I will be back to work full time starting October 1st as my second round of chemo is suppose to be less on my body and less on the side effects. My treatments will be after school. Blessed again!
Another reason to celebrate!~
Live the Fed Way, Family Everyday! This is our new moto at my High School this year. We are big into the diversity that makes up our family! Within that family, we have clubs and activities along with sports. One of the clubs, made up of all male staff members, is the "Bald Eagle club" Well, I was inducted today as the first ever female bald Eagle! It was overwhelming and it moved me to tears to witness the support of my fellow staff as well as the show of support from the students. WOW! It was quite an honor! I work at the best High School on the planet. Thank you, Andy Cameron!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!! Your support is amazing, your prayers answered, and your love and friendship incredibly supportive! Thank you!
Happy Birthday Cindy!
Way to go girl!! I also was moved by Andy's comments abnd the rest of the school!!!!!!

My beautiful friend! You do have a warrior's heart as Clo stated. Shirlee Morgan just let me know that this was happening to you. You, of course, will be in my prayers. The Lord has surrounded you with strength as well. What a wonderful testimony to God's grace and for HIS glory you are. I wish I could be there for you...but my heart is there. Sending a cyber hug and all my love. Jean Ford aka Mean Jean
