What's Going On

Today, I went to an appointment with my Oncologist to go over my most recent scans from early May. They came back clear, but he still wanted to check on my over all health and have labs run. If my next scan, next month is clear, Dr. Wanko said we could move the MRI scans from every 2 months to every 3 months. I'm a fan of that!

My oncologist also was inquisitive about how much longer Andrew and I will be here in Maryland. Since Andrew has had 7 surgeries on his feet, he's done with all that. I don't blame him! Next year his commitment time will be completed and he will be up for reenlistment. Andrew was only planning on staying in if it was beneficial for my health with staying with my doctors or if it had anything to do with getting his feet fixed. Dr. Wanko mentioned today that he'd like to observe me until my 2 year mark out of chemo.

As for my overall health check up, the doctor was very pleased with my progress, except my weight loss. I've changed some things in my diet lately, like eating more raw fruits and vegetables. I don't crave sweets and greasy foods, thank you Jesus! Anyway, I've lost 5 lbs. in the last month, so please pray along with me on either maintaining this weight or gaining at least the 5 lbs. back that I've lost.

That's what's going on right now. Still relying on the Lord to help me each moment of every day with being a wife and a momma. He is faithful and gives me lots of opportunities to share of His goodness with those around me.
