The "C" Word

Someone once said, "Too often, we get so focused on the finish line that we fail to find joy in the journey." This is Brynn's journey. You are invited to share in her fear and faith as she ventures into unfamiliar territory. Thank you, in advance, for your prayers and support for Brynn and her family. This is OUR journey. As we work together and pray together, may we truly find joy along the way.

Chemo Week 7

So far this week has been the best yet. Well, if you only consider the nausea that is. I have only thrown up once and I,ve already had two days of chemo. I started my five day cycle on Saturday, so that I don't have to take my chemo on Thanksgiving. I hope that I'll have an appetite on Thanksgiving, so that I can eat as much as I usually do. Since it is thanksgiving, I'd like to thank everyone who has given me a gift or just wished me luck in general. I really appreciate it!this week I got an iPad from the hospital and I love it! It makes stuff like blogging a lot easier, because I can now I can just do stuff from where I am already laying. My hemoglobin is really low, so I am really tired and get wiped out very easily. There's not much to say that's new.just the same stuff as last time I went through this cycle. So thanks again! And bye.

Chemo Week 5

This week was tough. That's why I haven't blogged this week. I threw up multiple times Monday through Thursday, then felt a bit tired Friday morning, but was able to successfully act in my play that night. The play was a ton of fun and I'm glad I was able to do it. On Saturday I watched a movie in the morning with my family and felt fine. We watched Big Hero 6. It was a really good movie! If you haven't seen it already I suggest you do. I then got to go roller skating with my friends at a birthday party and still felt great! I am very glad of that. This week is an easy week. I only have one drug to take one day, and I won't even make me sick! Piece of cake! I hope to go to school tomorrow and see some people, because I haven't been to school since last Thursday! That's over a week! I hope I don't fall to far behind in my classes and am able to keep going to school as much as I can. I am still on my painful shot, but might get off them tomorrow when they take my blood for counts. There's not much to update besides that. All is well.

Chemo Week 4- My Week Off

This week I have no chemo! I am so happy! What makes me even more happy is that last week the chemo everyday made me kinda emotionally tired and grumpy, so Saturday and the last part of Friday night was spent barfing and feeling horrible. I literally sat on the couch and had a mini Harry Potter Marathon. I liked that part, and it would've made me really happy if I hadn't been so blah. Thanks to The Bridges and Swicks for those HP movies! I am back on my daily shots(yay me) which I still hate with a passion, but I have to get them to stay healthy, so it's worth it! I shaved my head on Thursday night, because my hair was coming out in chunks. While I miss it, I have to say that it's easier to have no hair. All I have to do in the mornings is wake up, get dressed, eat, and leave! Speaking of eating, I had lost my appetite again. Sunday I got it back, but by the end of the day I felt all weird again. I am fine now, life is usual aside from my runny nose and cough that came with the weather change. I've seen my friends, practiced for the school play, and even got a phone! I love it! Since I'm really bad at thanking people individually, and am very busy these days, I want to take a second to thank everyone for their love and support. These times have been hard and will continue to be so, so I am going to need all the support I can get. My mom wanted me to make something to post, and I rather like to monogram things, so I made a little thank you picture. I really appreciate you all! Bye!
