I am glad that you are able to get feedback now and you can see the way you are touching people. I read your blog firstly because of Emma Grace and her autism (I have a very severely autistic son) but returned due to your absolute faith and honesty. I particularly like it when you trust us (your readers) and post when you are low and depressed. I know I speak for many when I say at that point we start praying HARD for you and your family. I will pray you are guided to make the best decision re chemo. Bless you x Rinty You are incredibly inspirational.

Mending - I like that word! It is a hopeful word. May you continue to mend until you are cured. I'll keep you in prayer concerning the chemo. May the Lord give you complete peace about your decision. Don't worry about not updating - live your life! Life comes first, then we can write about it when we have time. I remember how much I cried when I first heard of your diagnosis. I was sad for days. I had no idea what the future held for you - and here you are, done with radiation, feeling better and possibly stopping chemo. You are living! I'm so, so thankful and very grateful that the Lord allowed me to be part of this. Seeing your strength and faith has been a blessing to me. Enjoy your life, your husband, your kids.

Yes the chemo is bad and yes it makes a person very sick. The healing effects of chemo are the best in the first few months I've heard. Try as long as you can stand it till you can't anymore. Maybe without the radiation combo it will be a bit better. It's doing it's job and that's important. I too have the low platelet syndrome. It's not fun either but my body has learned to live with it, going on 11 years now. You will get to know the signs that the counts are up or down just by how you feel. Congratulations on being done with the radiation, I bet that feels good to know that one thing is finished and done. Isn't it amazing what one can live through - just one day at a time! Blessings on you and your family Marie My thoughts….

Hurray for the God who loves her! Hurray for a wee bit more normalcy! I will pray for God to bless you with His wisdom concerning the chemo. That IS a big decision either way. My gut instinct would be to forgo it because it's so toxic, but I'm starting to learn that God is bigger than my gut...which is saying ALOT! :-) Hurray for Heather! Hurray for the God who loves her!
