3rd Round of Chemo
October is BREAST CANCER AWARENESS month. We see the pink products and ribbon emblems everywhere. Many companies are donating proceeds towards the fight on this cancer. Pink, pink and more pink to help cause awareness. (Its a good thing my favorite color is pink!) 
I have personally become AWARE over these last few months of the effects breast cancer has on women. Just to name a few, there is the effect on the personal emotions when hearing the diagnosis. Then there are the emotions that each family member carries. Next, there are the decisions that must be made. After that you finally have to begin a treatment plan. That in itself has a roller coaster of emotions to deal with. Then the
side effects make it very apparent that you are in a battle.
Let’s not forget the challenge of losing your hair, as if the other stuff wasn’t enough! And that’s not all, you then start receiving the bills and realize there is an enormous financial burden that comes with this diagnosis! 
I have given you the short version just to help you become more AWARE so that when you see the pink ribbon, you are more compelled to pray and support those ones who have been dealt the blow of breast cancer!
As you can see from the picture, I am supporting the October awareness month by sporting my pink cap and shirt while receiving my 3rd round of Chemo. I will come out on top of this! Thanks for all your prayers and support! Love and appreciate you all!
Remember during this breast cancer awareness month, when you see the pink ribbons to be thinking and praying for me and all the others you know who have this diagnosis. Blessings!
Read More2nd Chemo!
Once again I’m plugged in to the chemo drip! Had to take steroids orally yesterday and guess what
? Didn’t sleep a wink again! I’m like the energizer bunny and keep going and going. I am being infused with more steroids right now but Doc is giving me something that may help me sleep tonight! Who ever said sleep is over rated is a liar! Need my sleep for more than rest but also to get those snap shot movies in the night season.
Thanks again for “Believing with Joy” and all your love and support!
Read MoreNew Hair Do!
After shedding worse than my dog, my lovely daughter decided to be creative with what hair I had left!
It was my idea to give it the final touch with my favorite color pink!
I’m sure within a few days the rest of the hair will be gone! I guess I’ll have to enjoy my mohawk while I can!
Thank you for your prayers…
Joy
Read MoreOne week following my 1st Chemo Infusion
Today I felt good enough to sit outside on my deck enjoying our Northwest sunshine! It may have been out all week but the view from my couch was limited!
I had my ups and downs with the Chemo side effects this week. Thanks to the praying warriors, some of the side effects were lessened.
I appreciate all the prayers and encouragement! Keep them coming!
August 25th – I survived chemo!
Well I survived my first round of Chemo! The process took about 4 1/2 hours to deliver. The first hour they pump you full of anti nausea drugs along with steroids and Benedryl. The next 3 1/2 hours are the two Chemo drugs. Felt fine for the most part but didn’t realize I was revved up by the steroids and didn’t sleep a wink all night! Imagine me on steroids! Lol!
Believe With Joy
In June, Joy was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive breast cancer. After much prayer and seeking the Lord for her healing, God has directed her to the “Cancer Treatment Centers of America” in Phoenix, Arizona. The Center treats the whole body, mind and spirit in their approach to healing.
She will undergo chemo and radiation in addition to meeting with a dietitian and Naturopathic doctor to help with keeping her immune system boosted through this process.
Joy is so grateful that God has led her to receive her care with the “Cancer Treatment Centers of America” or “CTCA” and is BELIEVING God for her complete manifested healing. She will be in treatment from now until mid 2012.
You can “BELIEVE WITH JOY” for her healing by joining your faith with her in prayer.
As you can imagine there will be a significant financial burden for the Parrott family. If you would like to make a donation
towards her health expenses, it would be greatly appreciated. Your donation will also be tax deductible.
Thank you for standing in the gap and “BELIEVING WITH JOY.” May God richly reward you for your prayers and support for Joy. God bless you!
