MD Appointment Views: 116

If any of you have an extra in with God I sure could use your prayers; I am quite sure he is ignoring me. Anyway, I had a very long day at the cancer center today. My scan showed that the nodules in my liver were not responding to the Femera; so they changed me to a new medication called Xeloda. I am to take 6 pills daily for two weeks and than take a week off. The main side effects can be diarrhea, hand and foot syndrome=pain, swelling or redness of hands and/or feet, and possible mouth sores. Sounds exciting to me.
The nodules in my sacrum remain gone, but I do have one small nodule up higher in my spine;which they will treat only if I get lots of pain. They will see me again after my long week-end in New York to visit Emmalyn.
Cheers,
Betty
PS I could really use a bit of cheer.

Don’t know about having an “extra” in with God but I have said a prayer for you tonight. One more can’t hurt. May God Bless you.

I will send a message to the man upstairs to send some extra love down to you and yours.

Dear Betty, I understand how you would feel that God is not hearing you. But I KNOW for a fact that He does. I also KNow from a first hand fact that it is very hard when He seems so silent and distant. We will continue to be in prayer for you and unless I hear differently I,m going to put you on my church prayer chain, we have some real prayer warriors. I,m sooo.. happy you are going to New York. When you hold that little girl it will bring a smile to your face. Be sure and take pictures,Maybe you can show them to us when we have lunch on the 29th. Hang in there we will be praying hard for you. We all love you. Donna K. PS do you still remember when we put a can of soup on your car and drove it across the PDS bridge??? why do you think we would have done THAT. I was just telling Ron about that a night or so ago.
