Update-of not so much going on

Hello precious friends who care so faithfully.  It's been brought to my attention I've not updated in awhile.  Truly no news has been good news in my case.  Life has been full, I've been in great health and little is happening to report.

I'll have another set of scans soon I expect, probably next month.  When I saw my oncologist this week, we didn't talk about it yet, but it's getting time to check again.   So far, my "go-juice" infusion I get every 3 weeks through the port in my arm is keeping cancer away, which is fantastic.

Neuropathy isn't improving, so if you'd like to pray for that, I'd be grateful.  They told me the level at which I have it 1 year after chemo ends is likely where it'll stay.  That will be December, so there is still time for it to improve, I pray.  At least it's still only in my right hand.  It doesn't hurt, it just is numb and irritating.  I wouldn't miss it if it were gone.

We're waiting to hear from insurance to see if they'll take care of a treatment I've appealed for regarding some menopausal side effects.  We covet your prayers that they'll step up.  The treatment they WILL pay for is known to cause cancer, so no thank you, I don't wish to take that.  This treatment costs a little less, really a lot less in the long run, but is considered a bit too new.  But is showing effectiveness and is FDA approved, which should count for something I pray.

So that's that.  The update.  I pray they'll always be this boring.  I don't think a day goes by that I'm not soaked in some level of gratitude for the day I've been given.
