9/3 to 9/9

My own pattern in Navajo Weaving

I first wanted to post my first original pattern in the Navajo style that was done with all of Aunt Sheran's yarn.  Yes the middle is the same turquoise thread that I am using in my Afghan.  I really love the colors in the yarn. You really have to look at it closely to appreciate the combination of colors.

I decided to take back three of my piano students the Bells and Savannah Willets.  They will practice and are a very low stress students and they do need my expertise.  So I started them this week.  It was fun to get into teaching and I loved the music they are going to be learning.  So therapeutic to my soul.

Then on Thursday I went to see the Oncologist, Dr Hodson, who told me that my cancer was a Stage 2A run of the mill cancer.  I will be starting Chemo this Wednesday then every three weeks for 4 times.  It is the TCx4Variety of Chemo.  The side effects is hari loss with in 2 weeks with little nausea and tiredness.  She was happy to hear that I was teaching piano because of the side effects of loss of feeling in the fingertips and she wants to know if that happens.  After 3 month, I will have surgery followed by radiation and then by harmonal replacement for 5 years.  My cancer is 100% estrogen sensitive and 50% progesterone sensitive.  That means that those hormones will protect the body from getting more cancers.  So all in all it was a good report. 

Friday I went in and had a  Sentinel Node Lymphoscintigraphy and then my port put it for the Chemo.  When we got home we had a message that Medicare had accepted me and everything will be covered since August 1.  This was indeed a miracle, if Willard hadn't talked to that girl last Wednesday, we never would have gotten the approval in time. 

I am just laying low, so my surgeries can heal and I won't have pain.  I have only had to take on pill for pain and all else is good.  The Lord is certainly blessing me.
