You carried me in prayer over the finish line!!

Dear friends, oh how thankful I am for you!!!!!!! I am finally recovering from that last chemo treatment, it was a doosey!! I did pretty well for the first 24 hours after chemo, thanks in part to the steroids they give me with my chemo treatment. When the steroids wear off though...hold on cause the ride begins to plummet, as it did for me by Friday night after chemo on Thursday. Saturday, I was scary weak, all I did was fade in and out of sleep. That lasted really through Monday and then I started getting a bit stronger. Today is Friday, a week later, and I am actually starting to feel better. I was even able to drive Hannah over to a friend's house yesterday, it has been a long while since I've driven anywhere.

I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful it is to know that I don't have to go in for chemo next week. It is an amazing feeling.

I want you to know that your prayers truly carried me over the chemo finish line. I do not believe I would have made it without your support. The fact that I was able to complete all 12 chemo treatments on time is nothing short of a miracle. I was so weak when I began chemo due to having been sick for the whole prior year, that I marvel at God's faithfulness to keep me strong enough to complete the course of treatment. He is faithful and you have been steadfast in your prayer and support and I am so very grateful to you and for you. with much love!! Leslyn

I had my LAST chemo treatment today, 2/12

I will keep this short because I am not feeling well at all, but I had my LAST chemo treatment today!! The nurses and doctors at Contra Costa Oncology even gave me a graduation certificate celebrating my last treatment. They all signed it...very sweet and thoughtful.

The chemo is hitting me pretty hard already and probably will for the next 4-5 days, so I would very much appreciate your prayer. But I just had to share the joy with you of actually getting through this 6 month journey through chemo, and being able to get all of my infusions on schedule! You have been a VITAL part of my journey, I truly could not have done this without you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. God answers prayer and is faithful, that truth means so much more to me today than every before.

I will update you with new info regarding radiation and what is coming next as soon as I feel better, until then, God bless you beyond all that you could ask for or even imagine.

My hair is growing and so are my eye brows and lashes!

I have to say, I think God is moving here in a visible way. I just wrote, not too many days ago, that my eye lashes and eye brows all fell out. Well, I already have tiny little eye lashes growing back in on both upper and lower lids! There are a lot of them too!! My eye brows are also growing in all of a sudden. They are very short but thick. Also, I have hair growing on my head. It is also short but coming in pretty thick and very, very soft. It feels sort of like baby hair.

I still have one more chemo treatment, so I didn't expect my hair to start growing back in until toward the end of February. I am very encouraged and feel really excited about it. It is hard to convey how exciting it is to be getting my own hair growing on my own head!! Thank you for praying, I really believe that this is a direct response to your prayers for me. God is moving!!
