After the 18 months of relaxing...a little...and praying...a lot, IT came back again. I started back on Gemzar, which didn't work as well as it did the first time. During that time, my port stopped working and had clotted off. I went in hospital for a quickie new port, and found blood clots-ended up in ICU for a day on ATP and an angioplasty, along with new port. Stayed on gemzar until June, took a few weeks off and after scans, started on Navalbine,. That was absolutely NO FUN. The Navalbine was working, but I felt terrible! In Aug, while still on Navalbine, we moved to Columbia. Here I was, sick from the Navalbine, and trying to move. Luckily, Anita & Dan, as well as Christina & Jamey helped. We also had my grandchildren, Tiffany & Richie with us. The bad thing was....we had to spend a week in a hotel because the house wasn't ready. Mike got a job, and I just felt terrible most of the time.
We found a Church fairly quickly, as there was only one in Columbia. Mike had promised he would go with me, and make a real effort to understand more about the Church. In fact, he joined RCIA! I knew there were no promises, but I did know that at least he was looking into things. I prayed all during RCIA, and actually, I felt Michael was really starting to like it. I loved it, and felt at home right away. I knew I would miss St Luke, but I also knew when God asks you to move on, that's what He means. St Catherine in Columbia is a bigger Church, but just as nice and friendly as St Luke. It was like a family extension, and I, again, knew I was at home.
I made an Altar Cloth for St Luke Catholic Church. It did turn out nice :)
