Quick Update... Done with Chemo!

After 3 and a half months, we're finally through with chemo. Christina had her last infusion yesterday, February 7. As she has done with all previous treatments, she sailed right through it.


She's had some trouble with her fingers and toes going numb and tingly, also known as neuropathy. It's a known, common side effect of the chemo drug that she's on (Taxol), but as we don't want the nerves to become permanently damaged, the doctor reduced the dosage level for the last two infusions. Hopefully this side effect will dissipate as she recovers from the chemo.


We will be meeting with the Oncologist again next week, this time to plot the post-chemo treatment, which will include a CT scan, surgery to remove her ovary (oophorectomy), and breast reconstruction. Still, we've walked thru the hardest, longest segments of this process, so in a sense it's all downhill from here.


Thanks again to all who have reached out to us, and have offered their prayers to us. We appreciate it so much, even if we haven't been able to reach back out to each of you as we'd like. Please keep us in our prayers, thanking Jehovah for Christina's excellent prognosis, and by all means continue to call, write, and visit. Christina is much more able to receive visitors now, and is itching to be more involved with her friends and ministry.

The Last Time in the Chair!
