I Love San Diego!

I made it to San Diego safe and sound. I am having a great time out here with the McMullins. The weather is beautiful 75 degrees and sunny everyday, you cant ask for much better than that. I went to the La Jolla cove today and went snorkeling, the water in there was a little chilly but I managed. I've been sitting out by the pool a whole lot just relaxing, it is just what I needed. Anyhow just want to let everyone know I am have a great time.

God Bless

Its been a great week!

Alright sorry I haven't updated lately I have been a pretty busy. First of all I became an uncle last Friday. My sister gave birth to Riley Aaron Jung he was 7lbs 9ounces. I have to say I am pretty excited about it.

Now lets talk about me cause we all know I am pretty good at that. I have been feeling really since Monday I think so I had another quick recovery from chemo. I spent the last week in Fort Worth hanging out just enjoying feeling well again. I met with Dr. B today and not too much was said around the first of Sept we are going to run a series of scans to establish where it the cancer is at meaning if it looks gone or not. He says it will be tough to give a 100% guarantee at first cause it can look gone because of the the scar tissue around it when it gets smaller and smaller, So the scans will only show it if it is over 5mm in size or something like that. Only time will tell for sure but its a great thing gods on our side. After the scans we will formulate a plan according to what the results show. If its still there more chemo possibly? I'm not sure Dr. B is not the best communicator.

I am going on vacation next week to San Diego, I need to get away and relax it will be great. After I get back I moving back to Benbrook so as of the 1st I will have a new address, Ill make sure I post it so everyone will have it. I think Benbrook will be a great place for me at this time of my life to be back in my old home town around so many great friends and and my family.
I think that's about it, I hope everyone is doing great.

God Bless

Day 2

Day 2 is in the books and not treating me as well as I could have hoped. I am extremely tired and finally found out what it is like to get nauseous from chemo. I never got sick but I think I came close a few times. I set up a new email address it is cartwrightjake@gmail.com feel free t drop me a line so that I can add your email to my new contact list. Anyhow I think I am going to take another nap please continue those prayers so that god will grant me added strength to see me through.

God Bless

Back at it.

I started what I hope to be is my last chemo treatment. We will have to see how the scans come back in a few weeks to know for sure. I am sure with Gods grace and and my prayer army behind me things will be favorable, and if I for some reason have to have another round I just tough it out. Let me tell you though I am so ready to be done. Today's treatment went well not feeling to bad yet just a little off. Hopefully I rebound as quickly as I did last time. This week is my last week of insurance and am technically not employed anymore. Though I hear from my office often enough and am more than welcome to come back as soon as I am ready. My email has been disconnected and am working on getting a new one so if you have sent me an email in the last week and a half I did not get it. I will post tomorrow and hopefully have a new email to give out. Over the last few weeks I have had alot of time to look back and reflect on the last few months and realized that god was using me a tool and it makes me feel as though having this cancer has be a good thing, well to an extent. For one people tell me what an inspiration I have been to them, hearing that makes me feel so good inside. As long I was able to bring one person closer to god or their family then this has been worth it. Thank goodness I think this has touch a few more people than just one. And also what can ever hold me back now seeing the true power of faith and and having been through this I cant wait to beat this and take on the world next. Everyone have a great day.

God Bless
