On Thursday June 9th, Heidi had her first Chemo treatment. We have been talking about it for weeks, building up to it with research on what to expect, waiting for the first of the 8 treatments to be done, so that she would move from anxious anticipation to actually knowing how her body would respond to the drugs.
Heidi choose to go through the first few rounds with just herself and Sam, she just wanted to make sure she could handle it and know what to expect without anyone else around to observe.
She has always been fiercely independent, and strongly courageous. Even still chemo is not for wusses. Today marks day 3 since treatment and the begining of the slow climb back up to feeling better.
We talked yesterday about No pain No gain and how the last few days have given that statment a whole new meaning!
I am reminded and drawn back to the Psalms 121
"I lift my eyes to the hills- where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will no let your foot slip-
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you-
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
he LORD will keep you from all harm-
he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Thank you LORD
