So there's not much to report today. I'm still feeling good. I will probably have some side effects (nausea) in the next few days but so far so good. I haven't had to deal with the pain from having my central line put in or indigestion like last time so that has made this time better so far. It is also nice that since I don't have chemo a full 24 hours a day they unhook me from my IV pole between treatments. The new chemo drug that they are giving me is a very pretty "Duke" blue. Although the doctors assured me that they're not just giving it to me because I'm at Duke (:

I heard that the event at church last night was a great success and wonderful evening for all who attended. Again, the support I have been shown is just amazing and I thank all who were involved.

  4. Glad to hear things are going so well. I can't tell you how it blesses me to hear you always look for the good, the positives, and God's provision in all things. As long as you seek Him in everything, you'll find Him! I came across a quote I thought you might appreciate: "Stop telling God how big your storm is. Instead tell your storm how big your God is!"
    The gospel sing was awesome and uplifting! So many people care and love you and are praying. I'm only one of those! Have a blessed Monday!

  6. Hey Amy! I talked to Roberta today and she told me how wonderful your experience at Duke has been so far. That is such a blessing to hear for those of us here thinking of you.I am anticipating an email from you. My students would love to hear your new stories. I hope you enjoyed the story that went along with Savannah's card. She loves you so much and talks about you all the time. We were in WV this weekend to see my sister and she just wanted to tell eveybody your story. :) We love you and think of you often.
