Welcome to my blog dedicated to my Journey with Teal....Ovarian Cancer. This blog is where I will make updates to my treatments and tests....hoping to keep blog friends updated and answer any questions from visitors. I did not pick this journey, but am doing the best I know how to walk strong and gracefully, with my Lord's continual strength!

I am alive and

not well.  I started traditional chemo three weeks ago and now have an infection through my whole body.  I must admit, I feel pretty miserable.

I see my oncologist tomorrow.  I have no idea what they are going to do.  Although I love Fall, it doesn't seem to be the best for me health wise.  I was hospitalized and totally out of it this time last year.

If you sense frustration....you are correct.  I don't like to complain.  But this isn't what I call living.  More like enduring.  I am tired.  I don't want to quit the fight.  But my body seems like it is rebelling against everything.

To my prayer warriors, I need your prayers.  I have two beautiful grandchildren that I would love to see grow up.  Please pray that my doctor finds something to help me, but not make me so ill.  Oh, and by the way, even though they said I wouldn't, I lost my hair again .....3rd time.

Thanks for listening.  If you read Thinkin of Home, you will see my posting is sporatic. 

Have a blessed Thanksgiving.....enjoy every moment, and get the hugs while you can!

Ceekay, I'm so sorry you are having such a rough time. You are a fighter and a strong woman. Please don't give up!

Praying for wisdom for your doctors and for your body to respond to the meds easily and well. Peace and sweet comfort to you and your precious family.

Beth said...

Praying for you, Ceekay. So sorry you are having to deal with this illness. God loves you, and He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall, but those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. (from Is. 40:29-31)
God bless you and keep you, dear Ceekay.
Beth

I am so sorry to hear you are having such a bad time of it right now Ceekay. I was just thinking of our time together when you were here the other day while taking down the little antique sewing machine down that you had displayed so prettily for me. Yes I will be praying for you my friend.
I started up a Bible study with 12 ladies at my house and one of the things we are learning is how that God is always always at work in our lives and those around us. Even in sickness and pain- pray you will feel his loving presence around you during this time.

bee blessed

Ann said...

Eternal Father, I lift Ceekay up into your presence this day and ask that you would strengthen her body, lay your healing hand upon her and pour out your power from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. Let her feel your presence and your love and rest comfortably both in mind and body in your presence knowing that your plan for her life is carefully and lovingly being revealed and that your love for her will never fail. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.

Debby said...

Teresa@magazineyourhome said...

Dear Ceekay, I am praying for you. I know it must be so hard for you, I wish with all my heart that the cancer would just go away. Praying that the doctor will find a treatment that is not so hard on your body. Thinking about you and praying for your healing.

NanaNor's said...

Hi Ceekay, My heart aches for you; I know my sister would tell me to encourage you to continue the fight. She had three surgeries and more chemo sessions that I can remember. It isn't easy. I know that you are a beacon of light to those undergoing treatment when you are there. Sending prayers and big hugs to you today.

Awww, Ceekay, what a struggle you have to endure, Honey! I am so very sorry that it is getting you down & is more & more difficult each time. I pray for you at every single Mass & will again light a candle for you, too, next week.

Don't ever think that you can't complain...if ANYONE has the right to gripe about something, it surely is YOU! This has been a real test of your Faith & endurance & patience. Complain all you want!!

Mega Healing Hugs,
Rett

Beth said...
