One down and 7 to go!! It is now 6 days since I had my first chemo treatment on the 23rd of August. I was very well looked after by the staff at the South Infirmary including cups of tea. I felt fine during the first few days. Then on Friday I felt unwell all day, but thankfully this morning I feel good again. I am not sleeping well at night which is not unusual, but it doesn't help in feeling rested during the day. Pray that I would rest better at night. My next treatment is the 13th of September. Thank you praying!! God is good!!

On the 11th of August I received a phone call from the South Infirmary Hospital. I will be starting my chemo treatments on the 23rd of August. At first I was disappointed because I was switched to a different hospital. Then I realised that God knew this and the best thing I could do was trust Him with it. The next day I received a phone call from a good friend who has just gone through what I am going through right now. The Lord used her to encourage me as she confirmed that I would receive excellent care at the the South Infirmary. I love the way our heavenly Father does these things for us.

I had a wonderful time with my mom and my niece, Mary Ann, but it was much too short of a visit. They have now returned home. Before my mom left she gave me a Willow Tree figurine of a girl carrying a bouquet of flowers entitled 'Surrounded by Love'. My mom said it was a reminder of that my family surrounds me with love. Thank you Lord for family!!

Today I found out that my chemo treatment will now be done at the South Infirmary Hospital instead of the Cork University Hospital. I was disappointed at first with this change as I was familiar with the oncology unit at the Cork University Hospital and felt comfortable with it. As I sit here typing this the Lord has reminded me that He never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is also Sovereign and I need to trust Him with this. Thank you Lord for that reminder!!
