Picture: Gavin's game this weekend where he played striker for the first time and got his first goal in club!  We are so proud!

Quick update that my counts are still not high enough for chemo.  I am rescheduled for this Thursday 11/14 but there is a chance it gets pushed to next week.  

During my next round they will give me Neulasta, which helps tell my bone marrow to produce more white blood cells but they have to administer that with the chemo.

They have assured me this is very normal and that bone marrow gets fatigued during chemo.  I'd love to ask for prayer requests that my body is able to continue to recover and specifically that my White Blood Cell count and ANC counts come up so that I can get chemo Thursday.  

I didn't realize this until my appt got pushed the first time but it takes a lot of mental and emotional preparation for "chemo week".  While I trust it is normal, I would also like to request that you pray for peace, as I do have an unsettling feeling knowing that treatments are being pushed when I have multiple tumors in my body that we want to ensure are not growing.

Cancer sucks, this is a hard journey that I would not wish on anyone but I know we will beat this.  Thank you for your support and love.
