It is time to update the blog for the week. I started the chemotherapy Tuesday. We arrived at Nampa Mountain State Tumor Institute (MSTI) at 8:45 a.m. to do lab work, to see the doctor at 9:00 a.m. and then on to the chemo suite to start the treatments. It is an all day affair and we finally left MSTI at about 3:15 p.m. in the afternoon. I also came home wearing a fusion ball with a chemo drug called 5FU that will be a continually pumping for 48 hours. I go in on Thursday to have it removed. As you can see, this ends up being a long and boring day; nothing to do but sit and read or get on the computer.
The major side effects so far have been tiredness, nausea, constipation, and some dizziness. They did give me some medications to combat the side effects so all in all things are going pretty good.
I trust each of you will celebrate Resurrection Sunday this weekend. This is the single most important event in Christianity! Without the Resurrection we would have no Savior, no Salvation, no victory over death, no hope of Christ’s return for His Church, and no hope of eternity in heaven as God’s children. Without the Resurrection of Jesus Christ Christianity would have fallen by the way side a long time ago.
I want to encourage everyone to celebrate the victory Jesus had over death.
HE HAS RISEN, HE HAS RISEN INDEED!
Blessings to each of you,
Doug
