Please include my sister, Barbara, in prayers. She has Stage IV (breast) cancer and this last month has been a struggle with what seemed like outside issues from a flu shot, bronchitis, etc. However, tomorrow (Thursday the 1st) she is to hear results from her latest PET scan (to monitor progress of cancer) and she got wind today that it might not be good, so she is very scared, as well as still very sick.
We pray at least that she is not really any worse, and that in any case, her general health would get better than it's been this month.
I know it's late because she's already had a PET, but God can always change things, right?
Prayers for Barbara and our entire family in this trying time.
Thank you so much, everyone.
I don’t know if there is anything planned yet about handling chemo effects. They don’t even know yet exactly what to give her (there’s baseline, but in case she tests poorly in some area that could change).
She’s had chemo before but as I understand, only 1 of the drugs will now be the same as before. She got fatigued before (mostly soon after the treatment), some nausea, and eventually, taste loss. Not to mention hair loss. Mostly she was pretty good.
I am very concerned about how, since the flu shot, she’s not “getting better”, really.
