Chemo started again this time half the dose of NexaVar......

the first time I started with Nexavar a targeted chemo theraphy it is not a cure but helps to slow down the progression of these tumors that have decide to appear on my kidneys.

The first time was a nightmare, I have to say I am overly melancholy it has not been that bad God has been carrying me thru the worst. Yes I feel like throwing up much of the time and the pain it comes and goes but the Joy of the Lord is stronger than all of that. I just think this too shall pass.

It is hard to continue to take this medication cause it does cause pain and wow at times. I know it is to keep them from coming back. I am healed it is not coming back the first time I always knew deep down somewhere that I was not better. I thank God because the Cancer that did hit my body was a slow moving cancer. Having all the surgeries I have had did help it not spread also. Everything that happens in your life is for a reason. One day it will be revealed why things were they way they were. You will say ahhhh I see, or Now I know why? God has had his hand on me from the beginning. He knew that I would be given up for adoption, I would have the parents I did. I would learn morality that has seemed to escaped some people. I would experience unconditional Love, something my sibling have yet to experience. I have three brothers and one sister that have gone to be with the Lord. I always wonder if they ever knew unconditional Love? I pray they did. I pray my other siblings experience it with all my heart. There are times in your life when you know you need to bow out of people lifes. My stress level is better when I stay to myself with just my family. God is good.

I love Sundays when I have enough energy to go to church, it is a special sunday every sunday my eldest daughter is married to a Pastor it is now a place where we can meet as a family and celebrate life with Jesus in the family what a happy home.  Having God in you life is awesome and fun, even while going thru chemo. I am thankful that our family get together point in the Church! That is so awesome love it!!!!

Yes Cancer is no fun, Yes chemo is awful, Praise the Lord in and thru every situation believing in his word and promises knowing that his will is done is every situation. Having in my heart the peace that passes all understanding and it is relaxing here.

I am wondering.......Just going beyond

I finally gathered the courage to read about the chemo pill I am receiving. It is to slow the Cancer down it is target therapy. It targets the bad cells or sometimes the good ones and kills them. It only Slows it down, the type of Cancer I have it is already slow but I also have a nodule on my lung small but with this persistant cough I should let him know or make him aware of the problem.
Anywho this drug is to slow it down not cure it. I see the doctor tomorrow and I will ask him all the question I have. I have good function of the one kidney but now use in having good function if I have cancer still. I believe it is gone I have a peace about that. I know I need to do it to make sure but do it really, what if I am doing more harm that good? It is hard to say I wish we had money enough so we could live well. Like we could go to Europe and check out what they are doing for cures of Cancer? They use a lot of alternative medicine.

I am concerned with the wear on my kidney if I continue the medication. I believe I am healed already, I received a word from the Lord saying to pick up my bed and walk by faith I am healed. I refuse to live like I am dying.

My mother was not educated but she learned about what I needed to eat to bring up my iron I was always anemic as a child. She gave me Geritol it tasted nasty, she make me protein shakes I loved those! She made the best liver and onions I know not everyone loves it but I do that was a dish my mom and I would love to share together. She did everything she could to prevent me from getting sick. I did not take care of myself, I forgot that the doctor had told me I would have to watch out for kidney cancer. I was about 12 yrs old then.

 I try not to think about this to much, it is not good for me. I will remain positive, standing in faith, filled with the Joy of the Lord. I have my feet shroud with the preparation of Faith.  When I get up in the Morning it will be a new day I will go to the doctor and listen to their recommendation knowing that the LORD MY GOD is speaking thru them In Jesus Name. Amen. This Doctor treating the cancer is a good doctor, he feels bad because I been telling him for a year already that it was back I was getting sick like before but he thought because if was over five years I was in the clear and he was wrong. Now I must put my faith in the Lord totally, I feel as if I am just floating thru life, like someone else is doing the driving. It must be my Lord, these are the times he carries us, when we don't know what to do, when fear is there but your FAITH is STRONGER. These are the time we must let go and let God trusting he has it all planned out. Hoping that you will be around to see your grandchildren get married and have children. I pray my husband and I live a long life together. We both have had hurts that burrowed down in our hearts. Only now are we beginning to heal and feel happy Lord give us Happiness together if nothing else, Fill our home with your JOY, your Understanding, Your Love Your Life Your Direction. Lord I am your servant I am not much but I am here. Thank you for your healing Power.

Some of you who read this will think another flake, it is alright everyone is allowed their own opinion and feelings. If we didn't think and feel different we would be a boring people. If I offend you I am sorry. If I have encourage you in anyway AMEN!! If I helped you thru the moment Praise the Lord.  Good Night and God Bless !!!!

Book Tour Last Letter By Kathleen Shoop

A Father’s Deceit

A Husband’s Betrayal

A Loved One’s Death

A Mother’s Choice

A Daughter’s Resentment

A Time to Forgive

For every daughter who thinks she knows her mother’s story…

Katherine wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t found the last letter…

Katherine Arthur’s dying mother arrives on her doorstep, forcing her to relive a past she wanted to forget. When Katherine was young, the Arthur family had been affluent city dwellers until shame sent them running for the prairie, into the unknown. Taking her family, including young Katherine, to live off the land was the last thing Jeanie Arthur had wanted, but she would do her best to make a go of it. For Jeanie’s husband Frank it had been a world of opportunity. Dreaming, lazy Frank. But, it was a society of uncertainty — a domain of natural disasters, temptation, hatred, even death.

Ten-year-old Katherine had loved her mother fiercely, put her trust in her completely, but when there was no other choice, and Jeanie resorted to extreme measures on the prairie to save her family, she tore Katherine’s world apart. Now, seventeen years later, Katherine has found the truth — she has discovered the last letter. After years of anger, can Katherine find it in her heart to understand why her mother made the decisions that changed them all? Can she forgive and finally begin to heal before it’s too late?

Then you know when it is time to spring clean you need new everything, new broom, new mop, and Hard floor surface cleaner. Of course, you need new sponges, my preference is Libman sponges, the can handle a rough job spring cleaning in my home consists of. This year seems to be the worst. Why??? I cant do it my husband has to :( my health has took a hit this last five years. Any who back to the cleaning, I have  a male Dog who loves to make messes. This is another reason I love Libman Sponges. I love spring cleaning, I clean from top to bottom. If your baseboards are dirty your home looks dirty. Maybe it is the way I was trained my mom was stickler for a perfectly clean home I mean every knook and cranny, every knick knack, every window and around it, my mom did this weekly every Saturday. She showed me and I took over young my mom was not healthy. Prior to her being ill we had a great time cleaning together. Saturdays Libman cleaning supplies in hand! Oldie But goodies blasting!!! In no time our home sparkled from top to bottom. I carried this on with my three daughters we play Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks BLASTING on a Saturday clean our home. Until my health began to fade, my daughter are doing will carrying on the tradition of cleaning their homes, Libman sponges in hand. This is new to me I am trying out this Mop for the first time I have had it about a month and I love it!!! the Dust mop head you can use wet or dry, This is also made with Hard wood floors in mind!!!

 I received all of these products to review, the sponges I am familiar with I have not use a full pack after a month. No I don't just use them I wash them in bleach and they can handle the gentle cycle it extended the life of not so much bacteria piled on your sponge. Libman are sturdy and can handle my kind of treatment.

 This is the giveaway that will come from Libman Company!!! You will also receive the Solution for your dust mop! It is concentrated and a little goes a long way. You can lose the measuring device either!! It is attached directly to the bottle. You squeeze and pour add water. Easy as that no more mop buckets, no more dragging and scratching your beautiful hardwood floors.



       Easy to use mop no mess and the measuring device is attached you will not lose

I Will Never Forget-A Daughter's Story of Her Mother's Arduous And Humorous

div style="text-align: center;">

I Will Never Forget is the incredible true story of the author’s talented mother’s poignant and humorous journey through Dementia. From superb stories of Elaine's childhood, her controversial name, tales of smoking’ dragons, the feisty teenage years and a near paralyzing accident, her mother Betty Ward’s wonderful character is revealed.
Over time, as their relationship evolves and a new paradigm is formed, Betty begins to exhibit goofy actions, uncharacteristic verbal assaults and bizarre thinking. Although clearly mystified by her mother’s irrational behaviors, Elaine does not initially appreciate the extent of Betty’s mental decline. Her mother’s amazing ability to mask the truth clouds Elaine’s vision and prolongs her denial until one cataclysmic explosion of reality over an innocuous drapery rod launches a waterfall of destructive events.
As her mother’s brilliant mind is steadily destroyed by Dementia’s insatiable appetite for brain cells, Elaine accompanies her mother on her one-way journey through Alzheimer’s mystifying haze. Elaine cherishes her mother’s fascinating visions of her own mother, masterful Houdini-like disappearances and finally a stunning rally to take control of her own destiny.
I Will Never Forget is a heartwarming, humorous, honest and deeply moving story pertinent to everyone touched by the insidious effects of Dementia. Learn from Elaine's unwitting mistakes as she weaves her way through her mother’s unpredictable disease to capture insightful and effective intervention strategies.
The author donates a portion of every book sold to Alzheimer's research "in part so that my daughter's don't have to write a book about me one day."

"Nana Roberta"
I love this book. The author takes you thru her journey with her mother. I was a roller coaster of emotions. It is a beautiful story of a mother thru her daughters eyes. How she admired her mother and loved her. You felt the authors emotions of helplessness at times and how she learned to take it one day at a time. This is a well written book, Once you start it you will find it hard to put down. I loved this book it will also help someone else to recognize the signs in their parent or loved one.
