My "good week" again...

So the big question for me these days is why my tumor markers went down so fast.  I realize that this cancer is never "cured" but can be controlled for a time anyway.   Meanwhile, I was told by my oncologist to enjoy each day I have.  Good thought!   But, one does look at the future, doesn't one?  I do expect to be at my granddaughter's high school graduation the beginning of June.  It would be nice to take another trip to Colombia for a short time this summer with her since that is what she would like.  All of these "dreams" depend on reality.  All of these dreams shouldn't be fraught with anxiety either, so, I guess taking each day as a gift is my goal.
I must add that this round of chemo, though tough for a day or 2, didn't leave me so drained and weak as the other past 2 which is a PRAISE GOD in my book of thankfulness.
My oncologist also told me to "sing".  I think I mentioned one other time that singing takes peace, energy, hydration, and inspiration...all together, built into one body of health.   I doubt that dealing with chemo  side effects can help at all with singing, so, I have downloaded some favorite hymns I once recorded with our dear friend from church, Carlease Burnette, who now lives at Westminster Canterbury, a retirement community here in Lynchburg.  I don't have the year we recorded these written on the cassette tape, but, it was in November and probably sometime in the late 80s or early 90s...she and I were younger:)   The unique thing about Carlease is that she does not read any music but plays everything by "ear".  We used to enjoy her playing at our church and now the folks at Westminster Canterbury still enjoy her.
The five hymns I will post are now on youtube simply because I could not post them any other way.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

How Great Thou Art

Children of the Heavenly Father

Because He Lives

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
