Cameron From My Church Started Her First Chemo Treatments Last Week.

[chefmoseley]

Cameron from my church started her first chemo treatments last week. Her is an update on how her procedures will go for the next 4 months. Please continue to keep this family in your prayers. Cameron still feels fine today was her 3rd chemo treatment. When my grandmother had to go through this she didn't 'feel it' until after the first month went by... Here is the update her mom sent out...

Today's treatment went well. We spent much of the time W - A - I - T - I - N - G. Cameron is still feeling well. The blood labs came back fine . Tomorrow we introduce the new drug and repeat the steriod. So we'll see how the new mixture goes. The new drug she will take orally every day until the rest week.

The way this whole thing works is that there is a 28 day cycle of chemo. For Cameron she receives the injection on days 1,4,8 & 11, She also receives the Steriods on day 1,9 & 17 and the third drug every day from day 1 -21 ( we are late getting started with that due to some manufacturer hoops you have to jump through.) At the end of the 28 day cycle - from days 22-28 she won't have any chemo drugs- this is her rest week. Then the whole thing gets repeated for a total of 4 cycles.

Cameron noted that it was only 16 weeks of chemo and if you subtract the rest weeks, it's only 12 weeks!

I was listening to one of my new favorite songs call We Shine by Fee (see links) the chorus says 'we are the redeemed, we are the ones set free and we belong to Jesus' We are set free... not only from the punishment of sin and the separation from God , but we are also set free from fear and worry.

We shine because of the hope we have in Jesus and the peace he gives us. We are so thankful for all of your prayers! Please continue to pray for Cameron and her family during this time.

Thank you for sharing this update on Cameron's treatment. It's great to hear that she is still feeling well after her third treatment. I will definitely continue to keep her and her family in my prayers. The waiting during treatments can be tough, but it's encouraging to hear that her blood labs came back fine. I hope the new drug and mixture go well for her tomorrow. It sounds like a challenging but important process with the 28 day cycle. It's amazing that Cameron is already counting down the weeks and finding strength in her faith. I'll have to check out that song you mentioned, it sounds very uplifting. Thank you again for keeping us updated on Cameron's journey. She is a strong and brave individual.
