Chemo #2 it's all good

Chemo #2 done ...I am half way done with my chemo adventure. Things went well and I had some great visitors that kept me laughing. Then I came home and had a meal deliver by a great cook. Really can't get better than that for a cancer ride. My energy level is down but really I not planning on doing much for the next week. I have really been thinking about this body God gave me. Over the years I have pushed, yelled, been very critical of it, feed it crap,tried not to give it too much and tried to make it into something more (or less really) than it is. I really haven't been to kind to it. Yet today I expect it to take the chemo, let it kill the fast growing cells and then start regenerating those good cells. My body is amazing( I know that sounds weird). Really God has made us all wonderfully, we are masterpieces.  Read psalms 139 if you want to know more.So as I put lotion on my bald head to help my skin , I made a decision to do everything possible to help my body fight this fight,be thankful for what it can do and to let go of this image that has haunted me all these years. I know it's a tall order but I believe God is definitely the creator of this plan. So it is all good.

Be sure to have some GOOD pictures taken while you are beautifully bald. You will look back at them later and.....you'll have to decide what you'll do. I know a woman who, like you, "did" breast cancer complete with surgery, chemo and radiation. Her pictures were and are a testimony to recovery.
