Chemo 7

Had my 7th Chemo yesterday.

Thanks God the doctor got a good vein immediately. The chemo was tolerable as usual. It is not the chemo that cause pain and discomfort but always the after wards. In my case, pain and discomfort always starts after the second day. Nausea comes in immediately but last for around 5 days. Always finding good food to eat (good to my taste) for the first days so I could eat and gain strength immediately to be ready for the next chemo.

Actually I did not think that I'd have another set of chemo cycles. I was hoping that six would have been enough but as it is 3 more.

Somebody in church who survived breast cancer sent me a message on her prayer while undergoing chemotherapy. It was from the acronym of chemotherapy. It was a nice prayer and I was reading it the night before my chemo drip. But as I was reading it, I could feel my own prayer. It is actually my prayer each time I had but I just never prayed it following the acronym.

And so I prayed:

Come Lord Jesus
Hear my plea
Embrace me
Make me cling to Thee.
O my dearest Lord
Teach my troubled soul
How to rest on Thee
Eliminate anxiety.
Rouse my faith in Thee
Allow my mind and body
Peace, strength and security
You are with me in my chemotherapy.
