Believe

Monday was a really busy day for me, our company had just launched new products and I was out showing them to the world :) I finally landed at my favorite Nail Salon for my appointment. I was talking with my nail tech about how the fatigue was really starting to get to me and how I sometimes wonder.....is it all just too much?.... and my phone rang. Normally I would simply let it go to voice-mail while at my appointment but this time it was my doctor. About a week ago, I had a ton of blood-work done to see the what levels the disease is currently detected in my blood, how my body is reacting to the treatments, all basically to see if the treatment is working and how the treatment is effecting everything else in my body. So when I saw that it was Eric, my doctor, calling I answered the call. He told me that my viral load in the beginning was over 1.4 million and after only 6 weeks of treatment, it had dropped to around 400,000! The white blood count was holding steady at 1.8 (should be at 5+) and my red blood cells were within normal range! My nail tech told the other ladies "Lori's on the phone with her doctor and I think she's getting good news" You would not believe how excited everyone was in that nail salon! The Ladies of "The Nail Jail" have been a huge support to me! They were in tears right along with me :)
Just really goes to show you that even on the days you just wanna quit........the days it seems like it is just too much.......the days you wonder "is it really worth it" - You have to continue to believe..........believe that GOD has a purpose for you. Believe that there is a reason you are going through this and believe that you will be a better person for it.
