Note the sunset view from two nights ago. The view has been 100% improved thanks to our friend Gary Story and his son in law Rocky. They trimmed our neighbors ficus tree that had been blocking the view for years now. Thank you so much.Well, I just had to share the newest development
in my treatment. Things can change so quickly.
As I had shared, my mouth has become very irritated. To the point of bleeding a little. Went in for my Tues. chemo yesterday and the doc took a look at my mouth and throat and immediately made a decision to halt the chemo for at least a week, but to continue radiation. Remember, radiation is the primary treatment. We're hoping that the condition will improve so I won't have to postpone any radiation. It already feels a little improved this morning, not to mention no nausea.
The new supplement that Dan and Donna Vigil gave me seems to be doing the trick. I'm slowly putting lbs. back on. This stuff is incredible. It has 450 calories per 8oz. I'm not eating anything by mouth right now to allow healing. Mr G-tube is doing his job. I can drink fluids OK though.
Just one more thing. Today marks the halfway point in my treatment. Seventeen more days after today. Almost time for a happy dance.
Thank you again for you prayers. We give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
Love and many many hugs,
Old Jer

ReplyDeletePraise God for sunsets and new supplements and small victories and great milestones and even greater miracles! I know that He is imparting all of those good and perfect gifts to you.
...Praying that God will give wisdom to the doctors as they assess your progress and make modifications... Praying that God will gird you with strength and perseverance as you now face the last half of treatment.
Rejoicing as you rejoice....
