On the Brighter Side
Also, after speaking to Dr. Ellis on Wednesday, he did say this whole process would be easy for me after what I had been through. He said I would probably be able to work as many people do. Although, chemo effects everyone differently. Last time I was in bed a lot, to say the least. The chemo that I had in 2006 was very aggressive and the new treatment is less aggressive. Also, I already have my surgery behind me instead of in the middle of 8 rounds of treatments and physical therapy (which I am still doing twice a week on a maintenance level).
So if anyone needs any real estate help, I am still available and have a great bunch of agents there to back me up.
I have gotten several notes of encouragement and kinds words from brethren, friends, and classmates. Here is one from a Geneva College classmate:
“Amy, Just saw your blog posting. I am SO sorry that you have to go through all of this. Please know you will be in my prayers. I did my residency at St. Margaret’s and Dr. Ellis is truly one of the most compassionate and caring oncologists I have met. I am so glad to know you are under his care. Thank you (and Chris) for the blog site. You will bless so many by your openness and vulnerability. I pray God will reward you with strength, peace and joy and of course complete healing. Blessings, Margy”
Here is one from a friend Christine from High School (Cherry Hill East 1988):
“Amy,I was so sorry to hear about you having to go through Chemo again, but at the same time, I felt comfort in knowing that you have so many people praying for you. I look forward to reading about your journey. Being inspired by your story and your faith in Him. Your gift is the inspiration that you give to others through your faith in these difficult times. I will keep you in my prayers.
You are amazing and you will get through this!
Holding you in a special place in my heart,
Christine”

Amy, even throught the struggles of cancer, God has truely blessed you. You find the beauty of this world with your family, local friends, and FB friends. Your pics show light instead of the darkness cancer can bring.
Having not known about your cancer when we ‘met’ again, I can see your inner strength … a gift from God. Know that you are loved by so many. I put you on the Christian Shaders [Maple Shade High School] group prayer list as well as my small group’s list here in AZ.
… where two or more are gathered in his name …
Love in Christ,
