hi all. i went to church this morning with my scarf on. i was a little nervous, but i knew i had to get it over with and i reminded myself that church is one of my safe places and i knew also that i have so much support there. everyone was just as encouraging as i thought they would be and everything went well. mr. frank said i just needed a sword and i would make a good pirate. i said ok as long as it's elizabeth swan from "pirates of the caribbean". iwill keep my sword of the spirit close at all times along with the rest the armor of god. i go for my second round of chemo at 9:00 in tne morning. i meet with my oncologist first just to touch base and make sure everything is going the way it is supposed to. i am looking forward to telling how much the tumor has shrunk already and how encouraging it is to know that whatever else is happening that isn't so pleasant makes it worthwhile to actually be able to see the difference already. please pray about tomorrow and the week to come. love you all, jennifer
