Update from Sue (The Hat Lady) and Bridget

This picture is of Sue and her friend, Jennifer, who is a cancer survivor, with the Oak Ridge Boys. She is in the cowboy hat. I admire her and her friend so much. Below is an update I got from Sue on Monday, February 16th.
A little update on me. I had a pet scan and there were several new spots on my liver so they changed my treatment again. Now I go two Fridays in a row and am off one Friday. Dr. said would try to do at least four series of this medicine and then do another pet scan. This medicine makes your blood counts drop and, so of course mine have. I have only had one series and when I went this past Friday my blood counts were too low to take chemo. I have never had to take the "blood shot" the day after chemo, but I am going to have to if they can do my treatment this Friday. I told my husband I feel like I am fighting a loosing battle, but at least I am still able to fight it. I am not ready to give up or in to this cancer. I know God is in control of the situation and He will see us through no matter the outcome, He is our Sustainer and Comforter.

I'm putting an update that Bridget had on her CaringBridge site last Tuesday(17th).

On Thursday, I will have a PET scan, looking for tumor activity in my body. Next week I will have CT scans to complement the PET. I have to admit I am so nervous about these. Just going thru them and waiting for the results is so gut-wrenching. I would ask for your prayers and also for my husband and children. This disease has absolutely taken such a toll on all of us. Pray that we will lean on the only strong and sure hope, the Lord Jesus Christ, who holds the keys to life and death.

Please keep these precious women in your prayers. They have great faith in the midst of immense suffering.

Some great news; my friend Debbie got a great report from her doctor about her CAT scan last week. She has no signs of cancer and gets her port out on March 4th. Jamie, whose blog site I have listed on my blog, it finished with her hyper-baric treatments and is healing well. Lindsey, whose blog is also listed on my blog (Pleasent Drive), finished her chemo treatments and moved into her new home, after selling their other house in a short period of time. God has used these women and is still using them, to touch so many lives, in cancer and in health.
