I appreciate your continuing prayers and words of encouragement as we battle cancer. I’ve been taking chemo every three weeks in Indianapolis, and it is going very well. We talked to the doctor about my extreme fatigue, and they prescribed a medicine that has really helped me perk up and have more energy. It’s like a boost every day, and it has brought me back from the fog and depression I was moving toward. If I would have known that a prescription could solve this problem, I would have asked for it a lot sooner. I had my fifth chemo treatment, and I’ve had to go to Indy last week and this week for blood work. It is a routine screening for the clinical trial, and it’s nice to take the day off. My next treatment is Nov. 11.
My foot problems have also improved– mainly because I decided that wearing a brace wasn’t practical for me. I’ve been wearing normal shoes (flats), and I’m walking fine. I’ll probably always have a drop foot from the nerve damage, but at least I can walk almost normally.
In my reading for the bible study I recently joined, I found the most incredible scripture that speaks to my journey. I pray that it will also encourage you if you are struggling. It’s from Isaiah 38: 15-20 (NIV).
