Wow, it has indeed. Let's see if I can catch up.
Last Wednesday I wend in to UT for an MRI, trying to figure out what's going on with my legs. I had labs done before that and freaked out the nurses with my high blood pressure. They wanted me to stop up to see a doctor (mine was absent). The MRI was fine. While seeing the doctor, he was concerned about my blood pressure but also took a look at the MRI and suggested that I quit regorafineb to concentrate on what the deal was with my brain. The doc was concerned about lesions up and down my spinal cord. He offered to get me started with a chemo regimin, but I decided to go back to Baylor.
Friday, I got in to see my doc at Baylor. I did an MRI and CT scan. Eric talked to my regular doctor (do I have enough doctors??) on Monday, and he wanted me to see a radiation oncologist. Hospice was also tossed around, and we'll talk to those folks tomorrow.
The rad onc was awesome, answered all our questions, and suggested that there was no one rignt answer. We're to think about it and get in tough with him tomorrow.
It's hard becuse I picture myself having all this immortality, but in reality, I so don't.
The rad onc asked me how I was so tough. I said that I have a tough God. And I definitely do. Prayers would be awesome.
Praying constantly! You and your family are on my mind non-stop.
ReplyDeleteYou are so tough, the radiation oncologist is right.
You are my inspiration all day everyday...the little angel on my shoulder reminding me to love my kids more, love my husband more, love life more.
Hang in there - you have so many people loving and supporting you and holding you in prayer.
Sara & family

You and your God are tough :) Lots and lots of prayers from everyone I can get to pray for you and yours headed your way.
ReplyDeleteYes, you do have a tough God! A God that loves you more than any of us can possibly imagine. I love that response. Lots and lots of prayers still coming from here! (BTW, I love sitting here watching the globe revolving on the right hand side of your page and imagining how all these people from all over the world are in your corner, praying and lifting you up. It's like we're chanting your name on the side of the boxing ring.) Love you! Bonnie
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazingly strong woman and prayers are going up daily for you and your family! <3
ReplyDeletePraying for you everyday! You and your God ARE tough!!! I hope you feel surrounded with love, Sheri.

ReplyDeleteStrongest woman I know.
ReplyDeleteLove you, Sheri.
Sheri I can't find how I commented and while Ezra has voiced his care he would not of said what I did. So this is from Steph. I am praying from everywhere I am . xoxo to you all. Keep your eye's to the sky and smile for me now...
ReplyDeleteYou and God are tough! Continued prayers for you and your family. I just wanted to encourage you to take advantage of Hospice if you qualify. Even if you are nowhere near your home going. They are wonderful and amazing and will help you to live life as much and as fully as possible. They also will offer support and counseling for you and Eric and the kids. So often people think Hospice is giving up, and only call them at the last minute. Having worked with them in Pastoral care, I can tell you that is just not so, and I encourage people to call in Hospice as soon as they are allowed to. And people do graduate from Hospice, it doesn't happen very often, but it does happen. I keep praying for a miracle, but if that doesn't happen you can't be in better hands than Hospice.
ReplyDeleteMuch love, Pastor Katie
We do have a tough (and amazing) God! What a blessing that we can take from his strength each and every day, every hour, and every moment when our strength seems to waiver. I am praying that the Lord will give you strength and comfort in the moments, hours, days, or even years to come!
ReplyDeleteIn Christ,
Casey
I have been praying without ceasing and am grateful that God is so tough. I agree with what Pastor Katie said.
ReplyDeleteI will continue praying for you and your family. May God grant you strength, courage, peace and healing. tantevvie
ReplyDeleteSheri, Your strength and courage are an inspiration to me! And I know that God is behind it. You have taught me that life is so short, and we should be living each and everyday as if it were our last day. We are on this planet for a reason. We need to strive to do our best, love one another. I will continue to pray asking God for strength, courage,comfort and healing for you and Eric, Reese and Eli!!! Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteSheri, your strength and courage are amazing and inspiring. Our prayers rise unceasingly and our love goes out to you! With love, Jessica & all the Greens
ReplyDeleteI think of you and your family every minute and while I think I pray every minute of every day. xoxo Love you , Stephanie
ReplyDeleteSheri, you and your family have inspired us so much. We are praying for you and your family. Hugs, Melissa
ReplyDeletePrayers are awesome indeed and coming to you and your family from so many! What a beautiful message from Pastor Katie-- I loved what she said about hospice folks being there to help you live as much and as fully as possible. Love and hugs to you, Mama

Sheri,
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiration of strength, love and devotion you are! Your strength shines through, imprinted of the faces of your sweet children and their unconditional love for you. Praying for your continued strength, the answers you need and Peace with the answers you find.
Praying and thinking of your family,
Jessica (Barsness) and Aaron Paulson-Baldwin
Please don't think that I've forgotten you. I haven't. I think about you a couple times a day (not a stalker) and you're always the first person I pray for morning and night. I won't stop praying.
ReplyDeleteKeep fighting the good fight...you are an amazing person and inspiration to all of us.
ReplyDeleteWith lots of love and prayers from the Windy City
Sarah, Scott and James
Sheri,
ReplyDeleteYou and you're family are in our prayers. I know I haven't seen you in quite a while, but Jeremy and Anna have kept me up-to-date over the years. I will always remember the blast we all had at their wedding in Hawaii! We pray that you find strength, comfort, and peace. Know that we, along with many others (as you can tell on your blog), are thinking about and praying for you and your family.
