mixed signals

In many ways, Nancy has rallied over the past few weeks. She is able to draw deep breaths more easily. In fact, overall her pain has diminished. She has become more active, able to get up and down stairs and walk around the house.

However, she continues to run low grade fevers each night. The fevers seem most likely caused by cancerous invasion of her liver. So, her oncologist is a bit puzzled by these mixed signals. All this underscores the importance of the CT scan on June 30, challenges us to avoid speculating and forces us to rest in the knowledge that HE knows our condition at all times, and HE cares for us with perfect wisdom.

Finally, yesterday's chemo session was a bit rough. Problems with the port, and some nausea. Pray for a calm stomach and good rest today.

HI Dan and Nancy - I am praying every day and with all my heart that Nancy's strength will improve, that any nausea and fevers will subside, and that the chemo is working miracles in the hands of God. I know from a personal cancer history that all the waiting for test results to track progress is horribly exhausting, so I am praying for much peace between now and the test, as well as for positive signs of improvement when the tests are complete. God bless - Cindy N.
