Latest News - Sheri's Update 9 24 08 POSTED ON 9 / 24 AT 9:39 pm Wednesday, September 24, 2008 Round two, Day ten—I’m doing extremely well with the chemo. I haven’t had to take any anti-nausea medication, my energy level is great, and my blood counts were so good with the first round, my doctor doesn’t have to see me until Round three! Praise God for the many prayers that are being offered on my behalf. I’m taking Immunocal twice each day to keep my immune levels raised—it’s an all natural whey protein—and I’m drinking Mona Vie in the morning and at night, which is an all natural antioxidant made from the juice of the acai berry. I’m drinking 64 oz. of water daily, especially days 1-4 and trying to stay busy and exercise. Other than that and Vitamin C tablets, I’m trying to eat what is recommended for specific days for patients going through chemo and it appears to be suiting me well. I promised myself and my family, I would fight with everything I have and you do have to be determined to stick to such a regime. I still have my hair, although my hairdresser gave me a really short, easy to take care of “do” last Thursday! Monday, our family attended a presentation by our county and the Georgia Department of Transportation to celebrate the renaming of the road on which we live to the “James Roy ‘Pop’ Lewis Memorial Highway”. What an honor! We were all so excited that Pop was being memorialized in this manner. I was asked to be one of the speakers and I couldn’t help but point out that the most successful people I’ve ever known, never set out to be great—they simply woke up each morning and made a lifetime of daily good and right choices which led to their success. Pop was a very humble man, never thinking of fame, simply thinking of the things that brought him joy—his family and his music. These joys and his uncanny ability to have a response to any question ever posed, usually with humor, garnered him his legacy. I’m so proud to be the granddaughter of a man who was so loved by so many!
