Prayers Needed

Today I got a phone call from my oncologist's nurse- telling me that my Dr will be doing a surgery on Friday and asking if I could go in tomorrow(Wed) for my Dr apt. I will still be having Chemo on Friday - but going in tomorrow to see the Dr. Happy that Friday will be my last chemo- #6 out of 6. Yeah! I am so thrilled. I have been having some PCS(pre- chemo syndrome) this week though. Even though it is the last one- I will still have to have poison pumped through my body- still deal with the week after chemo that is challenging for sure. And I am so hoping that I will be able to hold the nausea at bay - I have not been able to for the last 4 chemo's - they have gotten progressively worse. But I am hoping that with my break through med - that I gave in last time and took - that I will be able to control it better.

I am sure that since Friday will be my last chemo, that my Dr will be wanting to discuss what will be the next step in this journey. I know what she said at the beginning, but I am hoping that she will keep everything in mind - the pet/ct scan that I have had since our first visit. And how well I have done through chemo. I am praying that God will give her wisdom to know what he best course of action for ME will be. Not just what she wants to do because that is the way they do it- but I want her to look at me as an individual and make the decision. I have been praying about what is the best course of action and I have been leaning towards one direction. I pray that God will lay it on my Dr's  heart as well. And if nothing else that she will be open to hearing what I have to say and my opinions.
I am here to ask for prayers - that wisdom will be given to me and my Dr and that things will go smoothly. I will be going to the Dr. apt by myself since my husband will have to work so he can be off on Friday for chemo. So I ask for courage to stand up for myself if need be. I claim Deut. 33:25b -

"as thy days, so shall thy strength be."

I know that this verse has gotten me through the last 5 months and I know that He will continue to give the strength that I need. Thanks so much for the prayers. I really appreciate them! :O)
