An Anchor in Glory

Good Evening,
We are enjoying a restful night together after an exciting morning of worship and celebration; rejoicing in all the good things God has done for us! We would appreciate prayer for wisdom as we, and specifically Mama has a tough decision to work through before next treatment, tomorrow. As you know, the Paclitaxel has caused considerable nerve pain and neuropathy for Mama. The Lyrica drug helped to alleviate the problem for a few weeks but is now causing her feet and ankles to swell making her symptoms worse. Mama’s doctor told her it is really up to her to decide how severe her pain is and thus how much longer to continue treatments. We know or think we know that every treatment reduces the risk of recurring cancer. I think we can’t know exactly because we don’t know how much cancer still exists or if any exists at all. We are also informed the nerve symptoms will get worse each treatment and the worse they get the “harder” (longer) it will be before they heal. Of course Mom wouldn’t want to continue unnecessary treatments and suffer permanent nerve damage. On the other hand, she certainly does want to decrease her risk of recurring cancer and would like to have finished all the treatments… Thank you for reading this out and praying for us as I know so many of you will. Hopefully, after our appointment with our Doctor tomorrow we will have more information and God will make it clear what treatment Mama should have. We'll let you know what happens tomorrow. Love to you all and good night.
