Chemo Update

I visited the cancer center today for my first six-week check-up. I've just finished cycle one of y chemo and they tell me I'm doing great. It was truly not the news I wanted to hear. Doing great? My feet were hurting so bad during weeks three and four that I could hardly walk. How can that be doing great? They tell me that relative to other chemo patients, my pain and discomfort was only a level two. They don't consider adjusting your chemo until your pain gets to a three. A three? What is a three? If my feet exploded with each step I took during those two weeks my pain could not have been any higher. Nevertheless, they have assured me that the new steps I am taking to keep my feet healthy will keep my pain in check for the next cycle. Please join us in prayer that this is the case and that the pain is a thing of the past. This will be especially important here in cycle two as I will be traveling in Southeast Asia during weeks three and four of this cycle.
