Praise reports:
***God IS good, ALL the time!  No serious side effects... 6 treatments down, only 12 more to go!
***More new friends, Jan & Jim from Kansas.  Jan also has lymphoma but different than mine, sweet Christian folks.  Thank you Lord for bringing them into our lives.
***Blood work continues to be good, yeah!  Thanks again Lord!
***Itching is some better, awaiting the END to the itching, Yes Lord!

Now to a new issue, my hair is beginning to come out.  I'll have to say that I haven't been looking forward to this, but I know that God will be beside me thru this also.  Leon is being so supportive and the ladies that administer my radiation are so sweet, they say that I have a good head and not to worry, silly girls!  I'm very thankful for wonderful therapists that are working with me, thanks again Lord!  So now, I'll begin wearing my wig or hats............ and make lemonade out of this situation!

I'm also getting sores on my skin.  We were concerned about that but the Doctor says that it's the radiation killing the cancer cells & they will go away but they're pretty sore will they're here.  It was good news to hear that this is a sign that the radiation is working, yeah!

I'll get my 3rd Accupuncture treatment tomorrow, not sure if the radiation or the accupuncture is helping the itching, but I'm very grateful for the relief.  It's much better but still has a ways to go and I'm ready!

We're so blessed to have a family and friends to take our needs to our Lord in prayer.  We pray many blessings on each & every one of you.  Your emails, cards, comments and phone calls are so cherished by both of us........... you never cease to amaze us of your thoughtfulness and love!

Prayer Requests:
***That the itching will continue to get better
***That the sores, if more come, will go quickly and painlessly
***For protection & safety for the family at home
***That Leon & I will continue to be encouraged
***That we'll have the opportunity to share our faith with new friends we meet
***That God will be glorified as we go thru this valley
