Chemo begins Thursday

Just wanted to post an update on Denise and pass along a few prayer requests.  I was able to visit with Denise tonight for a while, and she is her normal positive, upbeat self although a bit nervous about her chemo which begins tomorrow.  She looked fabulous-as usual- and was able to share a few things that people can be praying for in the next couple of days and weeks.

-Chemo treatment number one begins at 2:00 tomorrow after some blood work and an appointment with the doctor right before.  Please be praying for her body- that she will be able to handle the treatments as well as possible.  Please also pray for peace for Denise- the unknown is very difficult, and she is understandably anxious about how she will tolerate the chemo.

-Please be praying for Denise's mobility.  She has been having some issues with limited mobility in her upper body since her mastectomy and has been working with a Lymphatic physical therapist.  Pray for her strength and that the exercises and hard work that she is putting into her therapy will prove beneficial.

I will update again once I hear an update on how Denise does tomorrow during and after her treatment.  Keep the prayers coming!

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.  -James 1:12
