Day 188

Well Hello! I am so happy to be able to finally write and tell you that I have completed the high dose chemo and have received my stem cells back! I would have written during the time in the hospital, but it was a lot more than I really expected. I was pretty sick during the high dose chemo and also had a allergic reaction to an antibiotic that was infused. I was connected to an iv contraption on wheels that was connected to my CVC catheter in my chest the entire time. I had so many types of medicines being infused everyday all day that sometimes I slept all day except when my Mom or sister in law would try to get me to eat something. After the chemo I lost my taste buds and everything smells and tastes like perfume so I cannot stomach a lot of things. I know now what it is/was to be a baby and how they do not likes many things and have to eat pretty bland foods and drinks. Most smells nauseate me, but it is getting better each day. I wanted to thank each and everyone who have been there for me either encouraging me and checking on me.πŸ’œ I could have never made it without you and your support! My Mom, sister in law Louetta, my husband Roland, Dad and Patsy and Trish Cummins were there for me everyday or every other day helping me to get through this storm and I will forever be indebted to you!πŸ˜‡ I love y'all so much!❤
God is so good and I am grateful for His grace and mercy. He is in control of this am I am in complete Faith that He has my back and will bring me ALL the way through! There is a purpose for this and I am sure in time I will understand what and why I have gone through this someday. Thank you Lord for everyday that I get to share here on earth! πŸ™
I got out of the hospital on July 4th...what a great celebration that was for me!πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ I am currently at the apartment close to the hospital until my doctor releases me to go home and recuperate until my 100 day check up. I have been to a few appointments for check ups and I am doing good except that my calcium level is high. My doctor has been in vacation this week so I will find out next week what we will be doing for the situation. I can't wait to go home. Thank you again for being such caring friends! 🌺 I will try to write to update sooner this next time! Have a Blessed Day!
