Today is my 23 birthday. I would have never thought I would have cancer at 23 but I know God has a reason and He is starting to show me.  I have slacked at the updates but we are one week out from my first round of chemo and God has been so faithful. I have had very little side effects I mean they are there and part of my life but well it is just part of it. Just to make it easy I am going to list them.

-fatigure on the first 5 days and still not too full strength

-bone pain for a few days overall gone now

-taste buds were gone for about 72 hours but they are back now

-no feeling in my finger tips…….

-right arm hurts from the drugs and honestly this will be in my life for a long time and when I say hurt it is more of a burn that is just part of my life.

So these were my major problems that I had. For the first week after I slept about 12 hours a night and took a few hour naps. After doing this for about 5 days I started getting better. I am not going to say this is easy at all but I am doing it and I can see God helping me.

So many of you ask what to pray for so I am going to let you know.

Praises.

-Chemo is going better than expected.

-I am able to do alot of the same things but slower and have to be careful.

-God has been faithful to allow me to let his name be known through this.

- My WBC was really good when I went to the doctor on Monday.

Requests-

-Chemo again on Monday at 10:30

-I need to keep finding work to make a little money through this as my income is down while I am not traveling running sound. Things that I love to do and I am good at are video editing, audio editing, web design, sound system install and repairs, website design, computer repairs, lessons on anything to do with Mac or PC products, but if you know me I am a Mac guy. If you have any thing you need done please let me know I would love to help you with it during this time.

-Just honestly for comfort and for everything to keep going as well as it has been.

Thanks so much for your prayers and I am going to do better updating …..sorry guys.

Let me know how often you would like to hear from me.
