Radiotherapy: Update #22 and #23

I got 2 more weeks of Radiotherapy to complete.

As for the side effects, I may have spoken to a little too soon as in the last 2 days, my stomach wasn’t feeling too good. The feeling is like a mix of feeling hungry, gastric spasm, tummy ache due to food poisoning and lack of appetite when you have the flu. I still can eat and the food is staying down but the feeling is sort of awful when combined with the general lethargy. Not sure how much of these are also due to the chemotherapy drug.

Pray that the body will be able to tolerate another 2 more weeks of radio- and chemotherapy but most important of all is that therapies will be effective and the body will also continue to fight the cancer.

Nathan does not have fever anymore but he is still coughing especially at night and has a running nose. I am trying to be careful not to stay in contact with him as much as possible. Josie is still coping but as she is the one that cares directly for Nathan and she is showing signs of what Nathan is having. Pray for her that she does not fall ill. We are also monitoring Nathan as one of his classmate came down with Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) last weekend. The school had instituted segregation this week but Nathan had not gone to school this week anyway and we are just praying that all he has is the cough and running nose.

In God We Trust and in Christ alone my hope is found.
Hebrews 11:1
