Only One Left!!!!!

Susette had her 11th chemo treatment yesterday. Can you believe it? It went by so fast! That means only one to go! Wow! We're almost done!

The last chemo is scheduled for July 3rd. Then, approximately one month after that, she will have radiation. After radiation, it's all downhill. Our focus, after the last treatment, will be on building her up through nutrition and immunity boosters. If she is well enough, she may return with us on August 10. If not, then she will come over when she's ready.

Yesterday's chemo went very smooth and we were out of there by 1:30pm. A record. We shared the treatment area with a lady with MS who was the same age as Susette. She had had MS for 18 years. She was a white lady born in Kenya and had an English (colonial) accent. She lives in Venice, California and was a bit of a hippie. You should have seen Susette's face when the lady asked her if she smoked marijuana to help her nausea. Susette was very polite and said she had survived 47 years never touching the stuff and didn't see much sense in starting now. lol. Besides, she gave up coffee right before chemo started and she is still having withdrawal symptoms from that.

We shared our faith with her and her Hollywood make-up artist friend and they were pretty quiet. We pray that there were seeds planted. We hope we can stay in touch. God can do anything.

Please keep praying as we are on home stretch! God is sooooooo good. God bless you.
