First Chemo
Josh Bootz
Posted on September 4th, 2011
September 1 was our first day of chemotherapy at Stanford. Though there were some delays and anxious waiting all the necessary steps came together. Amy ended up having an IV in for 10 hours but tolerated the chemo infusion well according to her fantastic nurse.
Also, good news! Amy’s upper chest CT showed that the cancer has not spread to Amy’s lungs. Thank you Lord. In test result land this is our first stone of hope in a mountain of despair (to borrow from MLK).
We continue to be carried along on your prayers and encouragement. I do not know where we would be without it, Every day we hear more stories of connections and people praying that are too amazing to be coincidence.

Josh and Amy,
Moment by moment Linda and I are in prayer for you all. Our love is with and for you. “The Steadfast Love of the Lord NEVER changes!”
“You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”
Ps. 33:18-22 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.
Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
Dear Amy and Josh,
Dave and I are praying for you and your family.May God’s steadfast love surround you and may his sweet mercies be new every morning.We’re praying for for his healing touch.
Dave and Sue
