End of a good week

Today is Monday. Since I skipped my Chemo treatment last week today is the last "good" day for awhile. I go back tomorrow for my treatment and to find out if I get to skip next week or go on for three more in a row.
It was really nice having last week off. I felt great all week and was able to go shopping, attend a meeting with Ionosoft, go out to eat twice and helped clean the house. To help the days after my next treatment I will be taking IV bags home and infusing myself
. I believe that I suffer more pain due to dehydration. At the very least I will either confirm this theory or disprove it this week.
It was nice having David back in town, too. I ask my prayer warriors to include Carrie Ford, David's Fiance', in your prayers. She goes in today for an Ultrasound test. I pray that all goes well with her and that her Doctors are able to discover and relieve the source of her discomfort. I also include a list of those I pray for along with their medical conditions:
Wayne Whitten - Recurrence of cancer after years of remission.
Mike McFate - Renal failure and is on dialysis. Mike is the same age as David.
Don Laag - my Father-in-law. Don's prostate cancer has returned and he goes back for chryotherapy next week.
Mary Ellen Peters - heart failure and recent implant of pacer/defib.
Cindy Hamiter - For strength and peace as she cares for me and our two children.

Your brother in Christ,
Mack

Hi Mack,
I am one of the ladies in Cindy's club. Just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you and I've put you on our prayer list at church. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Also, my husband Chris is really handy around the house so if you have repairs that need to be made, he may be able to help you, anything but plumbing -- he hates plumbing! We live close by, too, so that's a plus. Try to keep your spirits up and let God take control.
