Dirty Dozen behind us-The final four is about to start!

Christina finished up her first round of twelve chemo treatments on Wed. I am just amazed at how strong she is. Actually, I am not. She's been this way since I met her. She never looks away from a challenge and is confident that she can accomplish any task. She had an MRI done yesterday (Thursday) to check the tumors. Hopefully, they have shrunk in size and are reacting to the drugs.

The next step in the journey looks like it may start a week early. The A-C chemo (4 treatments) are supposed to be pretty rough and given every other week. Since the Italy trip looks more and more like it may actually occur, the medical staff is trying to schedule in a break for the trip. That way, the side effects won't be too bad while traveling. Cross your fingers, folks!

I always hear how "Cancer is ugly." The disease itself is nasty stuff, no doubt. But the inspirational stories of courage, faith and love that come with the disease are beautiful. Christina is a shining example of that! I don't know how it's possible, but she NEVER takes a bad picture. Me? I'm like Medusa in Greek mythology. Look at me and you turn to stone...I have attached a couple pictures of C to prove it!

As always, keep her in your thoughts and prayers and remember that you are blessed!:)
