I saw the doctor today and the large tumor in my right lung grew 1/3 larger than it had been. The doctor is going to start me on a pill form of chemo that I will take daily. I will start that on Monday. The side effects are rash with pimples, constant diarrhea (hopefully controlled with Imodium AD), and very dry skin. The other cancer areas are stable. I praise and thank God for that!
Please pray that the side effects will be minimal or not at all and that this drug will keep the cancer from growing. Would you also please pray for the Lord to confirm this is the treatment He wants me to have? If I stop taking chemo and do nothing, all the cancer sites will start growing. There are alternative treatments to consider, but I am apprehensive to stop chemo.
Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and concern for me. I am so grateful to have such wonderful support. I thank God for all of you. I want to honor God through this difficult journey and hope I can glorify Him in the process.
In His hand and with love for all of you,
Sue Hanson
