2nd Chemo Is In The Books...
I can't thank you all enough for all your prayers and support through all of this. It really does mean the world to us!

Devin and I got away for a quick Valentine's Day lunch on Tuesday. It was yummy! Glad I have a forever valentine!

Wednesday I received my 2nd chemo infusion. It was very uneventful. Which is a good thing. They reran a CBC checking my WBC count and all was good to go. The count was in the 4.6 range. Since I get immunotherapy, 3 pre-chemo drugs plus an oral pill and  3 chemo drugs the whole process takes about 8 hours. Plus we have an hour drive time to and from the Cancer Institute. As you can imagine this is a very long day for us.

I have to admit that I am very thankful for the anti-nausea drugs they have me on. They really do work. I have felt pretty good since the infusion. Praying this continues.

Devin is still having some intermittant abdominal pains. He had a follow up appointment with the endoscopy Dr. He prescribed a new prescription for abdominal cramping and which seems to be working for now. He is also getting him a referral set up to see a urologist. Hopefully we will receive a call with the date for that soon. 

Prayers:
1. That the referral for the urologist would happen this week. We need to get him healthy.
2. That I continue to feel well from the infusion

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.
