Welcome Family and Friends to "What's the latest with Sara! " blog !

Since I have been diagnosed with breast cancer, I have been told numerous times that I am on a journey. I have known for almost that long that I am not alone on the journey. I learned quite awhile back that what happens to one also impacts all of those in that person's life in varying degrees.
The purpose of this blog is to allow you to check in whenever you have the time to see what the latest is. I know that I need you-your love, prayers, testimonies, and support. I am richly blessed with loving, caring, amazing family and friends. I am so grateful for you. Thank you for your part on this journey.

Only 1 to go!!!!!!

I had my 11th treatment of part 2 or 15th of 16 in all in my chemo treatment today Wednesday.  My white blood count had gone down to 1.0 which is lower that my oncologist would like, but he felt it would be safe to continue if I have the shots to help speed up the creating of more.  So I will be going in for a shot each morning for 5 days.  I am grateful we could proceed.
I have an appointment to see the radiologist for September 16th and to return to the oncologist to talk about the treatment that blocks the estrogen that I will take in pill form for years.  So onward and forward.
Thoughts today:
  • As the doctor asked questions, I realized again that I am blessed with a strong healthy body which is handling the chemo very well.  I am very grateful and blessed.  
  • I really have few complaints and even though I feel really bad sometimes, I am very blessed.
  • I am so excited to be coming to the end of the chemo treatments.  At the beginning and through much of the treatment, I have had to take it a day at a time.  It was too overwhelming as a whole.  
  • Even though that is true, I am cautious about it.  
  • It is wonderful to be realizing that I can go to church meetings, wedding receptions, book club, parties, grocery shop, shop for many things, etc. again soon.
