Chemo-Light

Wow! What a crazy season this has been. My cancer surgery in August went very well. However, as my cancer doctor was reviewing scans of my body that he had taken following the surgery, he found spots on both of my lungs. That required lots more tests and a biopsy that took six samples of my lung tissue. And after all that, it turns out that the spots were not new cancer, and not an infection, but were simply old scar tissue from a prior infection. Praise the Lord!!!

Now my life enters a new season. For the next year I will be doing what you could call chemo-light. It's not the full blown medical-port in the chest, sick for days, type of chemo that most people think of. My chemo is simply two different drugs that I can take orally, twice each day. My doctors are even allowing me to resume international travel while I'm taking the chemo. God is good!!!

I would appreciate your continued prayers for my health. This may be chemo-light, but it still has some serious side effects that are possible. I could lose my hair, but that's not likely. More likely, I will get sick to my stomach, I will lose my appetite, I may have serious problems with my blood pressure, and there may be problems with my skin. Please join with me in prayer for the Lord's protection against any of these side effects.
