10 of 10 Radiation Treatments Done & What's Next...
This week Monday and Tuesday I finished my last two radiation treatments. Just in time for some the radiations symptoms to kick in. I'm left with some irritated skin, irritated bowels and very tired. So rest has been my friend this week.

On Wednesday I had several appointments, one was with Palliative Care. They are helping me to manage all the many symptoms that I experience. In the afternoon I went and had my pre chemo blood work run and all of my labs looked great. After that we had an appointment with Dr Brown my oncologist. She reminded us yet again that this is going to be a marathon and not a sprint. She had me set for chemo to start on 1/17. I went home to rest after all this as I was exhausted.

Thursday afternoon I got a call from Rose. She is Dr Brown's coordinator. They have to push out chemo another week, so now I will start on 1/24. The reason for this is that 2 of my 4 chemo drugs are very expensive and they need to have insurance prepay for them before they can be ordered. Since we have Samaritan Ministry a health share program we are classified as self pay. So they are trying to go through the individual manufactures to cover the costs. Apparently the paperwork is taking awhile to go through.

The rest of the week has been spent resting!

Prayers:
  1. That they would get the costs covered by the manufactures so I can start chemo on 1/24
  2. That my lingering radiation symptoms would clear up

  1. 🙏 Father, I thank you for being with Lori every moment and putting your big arms around her, so she knows how much you love her. I thank you for rebuking the adversary from her life and letting her know that you are healing her completely. She believes that you are able to do this, so I ask you to strengthen her faith in you. She is your child and you are her father. Send her blessings so she knows that you hear her and care about her needs. Thank you for all of these things in the name of our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. AMEN 🙏
  2. One day at a time Lori. Perhaps the delay in getting the paperwork processed is more time to heal and rest in between treatments. I am praying for you for strength. I am a believer and when we are down, I know He carries us. So rest, and take good care during this time. Heavenly Father, i bring my friend Lori before you to heal her body because I know that you are capable of such miracles. Please hear our prayers. Everyone in agreement, say Amen. Amen. Love you!
  3. I am sitting right here with you. Squint your eyes and turn your head toward the gate! I may be a few miles from you but I know you can see me! I am praying, waving, and sending love. Constantly thinking of you guys. I love the positive labs! I know that is a result of all the hard work you guys are putting in. It isn't easy but I know who you are. No sir, you are not backing down! XOXOX

Meet Lori Atkinson | Back 2 Nature 4 Health

 

I am a country girl, turned city girl, turned suburban girl! My family and I have settled in the pines of a quiet suburban neighborhood after living in the city for the last 12 years. We purchased our dream home and are slowly making it ours. Most days you will find me hanging out with my very gifted and talented daughter, helping to run multiple family businesses, hanging in the yard with our rambunctious dogs, or hanging poolside with my husband. My favorite hobbies are researching healthy living and nutrition, spending time outdoors, drinking hot beverages, lounging in the sun, reading, watching tv/movies and crocheting. 


Eight years ago, my life changed in an instant. I was involved in a serious car accident. I was left with pain that started in my chest, went down my arm and into my hand. In the days that turned into months after this accident the pain left me wiped out both mentally, physically and turned me into an emotional wreck. I felt hopeless, like I was spiraling out of control and I didn’t even recognize myself anymore.


One day, I was introduced to a product that a lot of people are talking about lately. I was skeptical that it would help. To be honest, I’d used a similar product in the past with no relief. Why would this time be any different?


So this time I did my research before purchasing. In fact I spent days researching all the options and companies out there that offered this product or something similar. In the end I landed on a company that was set apart from its competitors. They were different in so many great ways. I was desperate for a solution so I ordered.


Now, my life and my families lives are dramatically different. I used to have to put on my game face and press through the day all the while I felt like I was dying inside. Not anymore!


Now, I’m fearless. And I’m on a mission to help a whole lot of people break free and empower themselves with the knowledge and resources I’ve worked so hard to get for myself and my family. Because I believe that, "Once You Know Better, You Will Do Better!”


How many times have you tried to create new habits, start new diets, introduce new patterns in your life, and you wound up feeling as bad--if not worse--than when you started?


It's time to get off the wheel and finally start experiencing your best life.
