Good morning! My Dr. appointment in San Diego yesterday with my oncologist went great! ( I just love Dr. McClay!) I had a full check-up and screening done and everything is good! We talked in length about the neuropathy and we have decided to try acupuncture first. Yes....ACUPUNCTURE! I am very excited about this. (NO side effects) My Dr. has had really good success with this on his patients suffering from neuropathy. We will try this first and if it doesn't work we still have the other treatment option. So my prayer request to you is that the acupuncture will work. We learned that the shots I would take for the other treatments is a 2 hour precedure each time and the side effects are nasty. Really don't want to go down that road.
If I do have to go down that road it looks like Pioneers Hospital will be able to do the treatment instead of me having to go the the cancer center here. My Dr. in San Diego will work on that if I need it. But I am praying that I don't! I feel really good about this acupuncture thing. I said before that I trusted in God's timing and I have learned that it is always best to put my trust in Him because it always goes better! Because of the delays..... I was able to get a different treatment that will probably work and I won't have to go through all of the sickness again. I won't tell you all of the side effects to that unless I go there.
So..... I can't thank you all enough for your prayers, phone calls and cards. I am constantly encouraged by everyone! What a HUGE blessing you are to me and my family and we are so thankful. I will keep you posted on when I start the acupuncture.
I wish you all a fantastic weekend! Also......could you please keep my son-in-law Ryan and his family in your prayers. His Grandpa died this week and the memorial service is tomorrow.
Smiling.........God is Good!!!!!
