The Lord is my Light and my salvation-whom shall I fear?   The Lord is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid?  Psalm 27:1

Hi guys, It's a blustery Monday afternoon.  Guess we're looking at some snow flurries later today-wow this seems too soon (how quickly we forget last year).

Am flitting around the house-a little computer work, wrapping presents, making granola, anuything to avoid sitting in one spot too long.

Last Friday I had an infusion of herceptin (the immunoglobulin stuff that targets the HER2 protein)-doesn't take too long at all, and I didn't really experience many side effects afterward.  Blood counts were good-thank God!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving-no black Friday blues??   Angie and Genny tried Target early in the morning, but abandoned their carts and said "never again!"  Gerry acually got yelled at by some old duffer at Ace hardware.  As Emily would say; "calm the emotions!"

Love to you all, and remember "no fear".   Nance

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."  John 8: 12

Well-I think that yesterday (day 5 after chemo), I kind of hit a wall.  Guess it's different for each person.
I did go to Hyvee-actually felt good to wander around, buy a few turkey day groceries, and watch people.
Ah-the simple things of life.

Got out today for a bit--if you've never had bianco hot chocolate at Mojava--it's a must!
The day was cold, but bright and sunny--actually felt good to be cold!

Tomorrow-love you all, Nancy

He wraps himself in light as with a garment;  he stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.  Psalm 104: 2-3

Hi-Today is a pretty good day-the chemo effects kind of catch up with you-but I have some good drugs on hand-yay!

Gerry has been working his buns off today putting up outside Christmas decor.  He has been a rock-I couldn't ask for more.  He's been to all the doc appointments with me and is a great 2nd set of ears. I thank God for such a good husband!

Em and Gen and Wakeley still here today-out visiting friends right now and running errands.  Ang had to return to Omaha for work today.   I'm so proud of them all!

We have lots of windows and a great view to the East-I love all the light.  Bird feeders, grasses and some crazy golfers to watch (cold lovers).

Thanks for reading; if you ever want me to email just leave your address and I will.   Love, Nance

November 18th,2010 First day of treatment, also Nov. 19th post

This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is Light; in Him there is no darkness at all.  1 John: 1:5

First day of chemo treatment  was not too bad, a bit surreal, though.  Ger, Ang and Em were at with me at Dr. Midathda's.  She is a gem.  Thank God for good petscan report!

My little micro-manager angels are cleaning the house today (the 19th)-Gen was able to come to Lincoln after work yesterday.  They are definitely a boost!

Thanks for all your prayers--please let me know what I can pray for you.

Love, Nancy
