Please pray for freeper Shimmer1 as she continues to undergo treatments.
Here is the message I received from her last night:
I’m very weak tonight. I just got up from another nap. Chemo this week (wednesday) made me so weak, I’m using a wheelchair when I go to hyperbaric treatment.
I cry at the drop of a hat. Now even sitting isn’t helping much. Usually when I sit for a while, or lie down, I recover. Now just movement exhausts me. The movement of walking six feet and lying down is enough to make me moan with exhaustion for probably ten minutes. You ought to see my typing before I correct it!!
I think i can’t make it. SEVEN MORE WEEKS OF THIS????? But I must, because that aggressive, deadly cancer must have every chance of being killed off. I really am exhausted, coming into my house makes me so tired that I’m almost nauseated. But I must go on. I had been so psyched, thinking I had only one more cycle of three weeks (plus next week) making four weeks more. Then dr said he counted and I had two more cycles. (plus next week) Pray for me please!
I really need my children and grandchildren around and I have none around me. In fact, no one is around me. Can she do it????????? C’mon!! CAN SHE DO IT??????? TELL ME YES!
Well, be crabby to the “C” and give it the middle digit. That’ll make you feel better telling it what to go do with itself. ;-D
We'll be here.
What challenges you face, dear Shimmer1! Hang in there. Prayers continue...
Praying for you. Thank you for blessing us with your sweet spirit despite everything, you are teaching us.
Praying for you...
Oh honey, I hope i have a sweet spirit.
I hear ya’, Shimmer1. I wish I didn’t have to have it, either. But we didn’t have a choice. I’m guessing that the chemo is interfering with the healing, too, right?
Just keep telling yourself that those precious grandchildren will be there with you soon. The weather is getting warmer... Spring is in the air... And those chemo treatments will end in time for summer. {{Hugs}}
The radiation, then the diabetes and chemo, make healing worse.
IOW, everything?!
