Pray for Wisdom – I think my body is done with chemo

There is one more chemo treatment scheduled for this Thursday, but I’ve had several complications this week.  As I write this my whole body is itching and I have had a rash since my last chemo that keeps moving around.  I’m taking Benedryl, but  it’s like the chemo has just gone over the threshold and my body can’t take it any more.

Also, since my re-injury at the surgical site, the chemo seems to be blocking the normal healing process.  They took another 300cc of blood/body fluid out last week.  Please pray for healing there.

I will talk to my doctor tomorrow.  They have already given me more than the normal dosages of chemo and I think I should stop here.  Please pray for that decision.

  2. We add our prayers to yours and your family. Let us know what you and the doctor decide. It gotta be tough to be this close to the “goal” (end of chemo) and then have complications. Love ya!

  4. Barb,
    Follow your instincts……you know your own body and God will show you by giving you that peace in your heart. I am very, very proud of you. You are a very courageous woman!
    All my love,
    Cathy

  5. Thank you for all the concern and prayers. My naturopath agreed with me and we cancelled the last chemo appointment. Instead, I had my surgeon take out my port-a-cath yesterday instead. She also took out another 110cc of fluid, but I feel now my body has a better chance to heal without all those chemicals in it. Greg and I are both going to see Dr. Lee this afternoon for our next steps.

  6. Barb,
    I too am praying for both of you and your decisions…also healing and peace. I’m hoping you are feeling well enough to go to Holden and enjoy His beautiful creation up there, it’s a different world!!
    I love you both,
    HUGS,
    Beryl
