YAY! God did it again & will continue to do it again and again and again!

Family & Friends,
My September doc appointment proved that I am still in remission. HIP HIP HOORAY!!! I know that I am healed, but the doctors don't want me using that word because in the terms of cancer the proper word is "remission"! It's my favorite word now and will be forever!
I've been selected to go to a cancer survivor camp this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it. It's sponsored by HEB Hospital and it's costing me nothing. Praise God for that! We'll be meeting on Friday morning, 10/3, at the HEB parking lot where we'll load the bus and be driven to Garrett Creek Ranch. We had to go to a mandatory meeting last Thursday and I was shocked at how many folks were going. Folks, there's really a lot of cancer patients out there...not just brain cancer, but all types of cancer! Pray for us as we go to camp and let us return safely on Sunday. Pray for all the families/caregivers who will be without their loved one for the weekend...Thanks!
As most of you know, my 3 sisters and I get together each year and have a great time of fellowship and love! This year we went to IN to see our 2 great nieces. We stayed with my youngest sister and had a blast. We got up on Thursday morning and drove to Chicago to see "Wicked" and shopped and spent the night there. Then we drove back on Friday and got in about midnight. Then Saturday we went to have our blood read. I was amazed at what my blood looked like and how active it was. I have lots of good white and red cells. She told me that my liver looked stressed and that was because of the radiation. She also told me that I had to be fatigued which was correct. She told me the vitamins to get to boost my energy, but my doctor nor my husband would let me take them. All in all, we had a great time and am looking forward to next year. Hopefully, I'll be through this cancer ordeal and able to do more than I could this year.
Continue to keep not just me, but all of us suffering from cancer and it's effects. My hair still hasn't come in completely and it gets very frustrating. What hair has come in is almost black in color.
Thanks for your prayers guys. My next appt. is Nov. 21st and I won't post anything unless something drastic happens.
Many blessings to you all,
Jeanine
