Health Update 8/9/22
Hey Y’all! I Just wanted to hop on here and give everyone a little health/life update. Last Thursday, my boyfriend Marcus was able to accompany me for my monthly Opdivo immunotherapy infusion. Thankfully, the infusion went well. I am so grateful to say that I have been feeling good lately! PRAISE GOD! My meds do cause severe fatigue, but I have been handling that pretty well with a nice dose of occasional naps. I am so thankful to be feeling relatively normal and being able to function. I have been able to have a busy, fun filled summer! This summer, I went on vacation with my family and boyfriend to the beach in Corpus Christi. I also attended three weddings this summer with my awesome date, Marcus. I feel so blessed to have been able to see my friends get married and to have been a part of their special days. I am looking forward to the next few months as I will continue to work on obtaining my teacher’s license. Furthermore, I am excited to announce that I will be working for Fort Bend’s Extended day this fall. I am really excited for this opportunity and hope to gain some valuable experience working with kids before teaching.
As far as my health goes, as I mentioned earlier, I am so grateful to be feeling so much better physically. But I would be lying if I said that the mental side of cancer didn’t get to me sometimes. Especially with scans coming up at the beginning of next month. Scans bring a whole new set of anxiety on, so I just ask for prayers this month that I can continue feeling well both physically and mentally. Lastly, I just want to thank each one of you that has followed me throughout this journey and has supported me with thoughts and prayers. I truly cannot be more appreciative of your support.
Specific Prayer requests:
That my physical health continues to improve.
That the immunotherapy and targeted therapy kill all the cancer cells in my body.
That I become NED soon.
That my upcoming scans have positive results.
That God takes away all anxiety and stress from upcoming scans.
That my body continues to respond to the combination of targeted therapy and immunotherapy with little to no side effects.
That I am to continue to work on my teacher program and my job.
That my family and I are surrounded by the peace of God during this time.
