Well, it's almost here. Tomorrow I start chemo at 1:30. Emotions are mixed, but overall I just want to get it started so that I will be finished with it that much sooner. There is a laundry list of potential side effects you can get from chemo; from loss of nails to hair loss to mouth sores. But not everyone gets all the side effects, nor do they have the same degree of fatigue or nausea. UNfortunately the group that gets the worst nausea are younger women (not near their menopause years) who don't drink. Great. And they've informed me it's too late to start drinking now...
Too tired to write a full post, but I will set this up so my sister Charity can post my progress when I'm not up for it.
I feel the effects of and am deeply appreciative of all your prayers. PLEASE when you pray for me remember to pray also for all the intentions that people have sent in. God bless you all, and thanks! I'll write again soon.
Love, Faith

I am praying for you right now...
Love, Jeff
You are much in my prayers today. I'll give you a call later.
grace, peace, and love,
Robert, OP
I've been reading and enjoying your blog very much, and keeping you in my prayers. Fr. Tom Kraft, OP is also going through chemo for cancer and he is living at our parish, so you and he get prayed for together whenever I think of either of you. I especially am praying that you are protected from all the negative side effects and that the chemo does exactly what it is intended to do - get rid of every cancer cell in your body!
Faith, I am praying for you. Once you're finished w/chemo, we have to get together. Lots of love and prayers, Nellie
