Chemo 4 of 6



Sweet Do Rag from my friend Amy!



Next chemo is May 2, then #6 is May 23rd. I'll be getting another PET/CT scan and my Oncologist will decide if it's more chemo or moving on to radiation. May I request prayers for moving on???!!!

Just so you know how healthy I really look with make up and wig. I still have eyebrows and lashes!! woohoo

  1. sounds like you had a good chemo day and evening this time...you can request prayer for moving on to radiation...and we will pray for moving on to radiation...
    I am praying that two is a good number and that's all you will have to do...

  3. Girl you rock in that Do rag. I tried one on because I ride on the back of the Harley with hubby and I definitely did not look like that. Wow, sexy mama, you and Rich might have to get a Harley and we'll all ride together.

    And yes let's agree in prayer about moving on, where two or more are gathered as the Bible says. Blessings to you and Rich today Deena.

    Hugs,
    LeAnn :)

  4. Deena Dear...you look smashing! I love your pink do rag. I also agree that if one was not to know what you are going through, they wouldn't. Your smile and the twinkles in your eyes are still the same. Your are an amazing woman! You have my prayers without even asking my friend...but I will say an extra special one for this special request from you. Warm Hugs.
    Love,
    Kimmie

  5. Deena ~ As I viewed the photos of you, I could see in your eyes...hope, strength, faithfulness and love. May all things go well for you!

    While I haven't had chemo, I did go through radiation therapy and it wasn't bad. Most people say that it's a "piece of cake" compared to chemo. Know that you're being prayed for and thought of. Take good care.

  10. Hi Sweet Deena

    I always find JOY when I visit you. I'm praying that you move on to radiation. I didn't do chemo, but the radiation was easy. I pray it will be for you too. There is life beyond chemo and radiation.

    Have a wonderful weekend.

    Hugs!

  11. WOW Deena you look great!
    Oh yes, I will pray you can just "move it on along" and be done with all this VERY SOON!
    I love the first photo because you look very DETERMINED!!!

    You are SO blessed to have kept your eyelashes and eyebrows.....my friend just lost all hers on her first round of chemo.
    Crazy how that works.
    Your doing great and I am GLAD to see and hear it. :~)

  14. Deena,
    May I say you look...."MAHVELUS DAHLING!".....lucky you...still having your eyebrows and lashes!!
    You would still be beautiful even if you had lost them. Your love of Jesus and the goodness that dwells within you cannot be hidden by anything...including chemo!!
    I will certainly be agreeing in prayer that Chemo will end and you can move on to radiation!!!
    God is good and you are AMAZING!!!
    Hugs!!!

  15. Deena,

    Your Do rag is so cute! Great colors. You do look healthy and that warms my heart. I'm happy that you have had a better reaction to the chemo. I will pray that the PET scan shows good results and you get to move on.

    Bless you my friend. Enjoy your weekend.

    Hugs, Sharon

  26. Deena,

    Somehow I missed this post. You look absolutely beautiful, as always.

    Of course I will pray that you will move on after this round of chemo. Keep your eyes heavenward, my friend. God is right beside you.

    Love and blessings,
    Mary

  27. Deena, I know this is the least of your concerns but I am blown away by how NOT sick you look! Your "hair hat" (as a friend calls her wig) looks absolutely natural and you just look GOOD! I find this SO comforting. You are in my prayers. I find your list of Joys inspirational! Sweetie, take care of yourself.

    Be blessed.

  31. Hi Deena. Just want to let you know that I pray for you every morning. I'll pray for moving on to radiation! You look good and don't have that worn out look that often comes with chemo.
    Be encouraged. You're going to make it.
