Good news! Greg’s biopsy results came back with no cancer in his bone marrow. Praise the Lord!
We will see Dr. Lee on Thursday for his recommendation on treatment of his stage 3 lymphoma diagnosis. The next step will be an appointment with Dr. Press, a nationally reknowed lymphoma speciatlist, at the UW. Pray for God’s direction.
I am doing well, having completed 6 of the first round of 12 chemotherapy treatments at the Wellness Center. However, I am shedding hair like crazy. I probably should go check out a wig. I’ve always loved my hair. That’s going to be hard to give up, but it’s your’s Lord Jesus. (Thank goodness each hair is numbered.)
Please pray for direction for my next step in treatment, also. The recommendation seems to be another 12 week round of chemo, which I am not excited about doing, but God is gracious. If it will save my life, it is worth doing.
Prayer Request: I apparently ran out of paid sick days last Wednesday. I have used up my own and those donated by other generous school teachers in my district. I don’t quite know what to do at this point. Please pray for other teachers to donate days if possible. I think I need 22 more to make it to the end of the year.
“Your God shall supply all your needs.”
P.S. Cherise, Charity, Greg and I had a wonderful time at the Mariner’s Game on Mother’s Day yesterday. Four great seats between 3rd and Home plate and a parking pass were given to us by Charity’s generous Christian mentor at the UW. It just happened to be Breast Cancer Awaremess Day at the Game, so the players were using pink bats and wearing pink arm bands. Cherise bought me a really cute pink Mariner’s baseball cap. We had such a memorable time together and the Mariner’s won!!!
Happy Mother’s Day to you, Barb! So glad you had a fun day….
I’m so sorry about your hair…but your perspective on it is so glorifying to God…and inspiring to so many! That’s so hard to do…keeping all that we “own” with an ‘open hand’…so thank you for your example!
Love you so…

Happy (belated) Mother’s Day. Whoopie! Good news for Greg, and you helped the Mariners win. Not a bad weekend.
As for the hair…it’ll come back and I bet it will be as thick and shiney as before. We think of you always. Love from all.
