Scans and a little more...

Tomorrow Brett and I will be going to the clinic for a normal Herceptin treatment. We will also chat with my doctor about the next steps after the radiation treatment. At this point I think I'll be on 4 months of chemo again. However, the good news is that this chemo is much lighter than last year. It should be 4 months of one week on and three weeks off. So basically I'll be repeating the same oral chemo treatment I finished with radiation only it will be spread out over 4 months. Brett and I will get the details tomorrow.

"So, how are you?" That's the most common question I get. Honestly, I'm doing really well. At times I get tired and am learning not push too much. (But who doesn't get tired during this season?) I'm looking forward to continuing to heal and get better so I get my normal energy back. We're still praying and believing for a big miracle. The other day some ladies from Central Cristiano came to pray with me. Knowing others are praying with you for the same thing is very inspiring and encouraging. We are continuing to have faith and look up.

Next week on Monday we go down for an MRI, ice skating and pizza. I know that's not a normal combination, but it's Alyssa's birthday and that's what she wants to do. So she will be the center of our attention. It's much more fun to focus on her rather than on scans. Then the next day we go down to see our radiologist for the results. We're praying they are good.

Thanks for continuing to pray and looking up with us. Enjoy the Christmas season with family as we all take time to remember the reason for the season...Jesus, the Lord of Life.

Looking up,

Sheri

Have a great time ice skating! I hope you like the "Elf" movie. It is one of my favorites.

The Toolson household is praying for you, too.
Have fun in Wenatchee - pizza and ice skating sounds like a very fun way to celebrate a birthday!
