Just another day...

Hello again! I have thought I am waaaay beyond overdue for updating the blog. When I opened it up it is definitely true.

Let's see, November and December. In a brief synopsis we have been skipping around on drugs, with the explanation being mixed results. That's been frustrating. So I am to go to the oncologist on Monday hopefully I will get a newly approved chemotherapy drug for people who have had a few different drugs during their cancer treatment.

In December I started seeing a nutritionist as well. We were led to him through different friends at our different work places so that is neat. He has a pretty interesting theory going on that the body needs a particular amount of nutrition to be healthy, and also to make the chemotherapy be effective. That sounds quite positive to me since there has been a mixed response, and I have been on chemotherapy treatments for a long time so logically that made sense to us. I am still working on taking all of his supplements, by the time I am at the level he wants I think I will be taking handfuls of pills a day.

Let's see, what else? Really I just beg for your prayers for my liver it has been temper mental, fluctuating in function, contributing to the drugs being confused. The liver getting happier is now a key part of the healing process to continue.

I think that this whole experience for those who are watching, waiting, can become just the way life is. I admit I find that to be often true for me, life being all doctors, appointments, drugs, phone calls, questions, and I can't remember what it was like to not have to remember all the appointments and all the drugs, and what it was like to comb my hair. I don't even think I ever took a multi vitamin before cancer. Weird life. So I am saying I can understand if you are weary with me with these issues, with the same old, same old. But I am asking if you remember sometime this week, ask Jesus for good things for my shot up old liver, and that he bless the doctors, drugs, and advice I have received and am using now, and that we can see positive results and quickly.
