..."Hope in Your Heart and You'll Never Walk Alone"

It is Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2017, and I am thankful for this beautiful day with HOPE in my heart.   I may try to find that song I have recorded somewhere to post, but in the meantime, I will just remember the lyrics.

When You Walk Through the Storm, 
Hold Your Head up High,

And don't be afraid of the dark,

At the end of the storm is a golden sky, 
and the sweet silver song of a lark,

Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain,

Though your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, Walk on with Hope in your heart,
 and you'll never walk alone,

You'll never walk alone.    (Rodgers & Hammerstein)

      This sounds like a Bible verse, doesn't it?    It is not.  It is from a musical called "Carousel".

      Anyway, as far as updates go, the last chemo, last Tuesday did not produce as bad side effects as other treatments...not sure why:)   But thanks and praise goes to the Lord for continuing my life here as it is!   Also, thankful for the volunteers who bring meals to our house during the week of my chemo.  Our daughters are always on alert for volunteers:)  

      Plus, my tumor marker was down  to 3.75...the lowest it has ever been.

       I am actually still  exploring other options for my situation.   I have found out from a good friend who just had a liver transplant at UVA that UVA is actually using robotic surgery  for this kind of surgery.  Less invasive and less risks involved with infection.  Just exploring that right now:)  Charlottesville is so much closer than Baltimore ✌

      Meanwhile, I will stay on course with the current treatment with my oncologist's recommendation and the Johns Hopkins experts as they see it.
