Post-Radiotherapy: Chemotherapy Cycle #01 Treatment #02b

I went to TTSH today for my blood test. The results came out alright and my platelet count was 145 and thus high enough for the chemotherapy to proceed tomorrow morning.

Yesterday, I wrote something about things happening that are just too good to be true, well… the pain was back. Not with a vengeance but sufficiently bad enough that I woke about 3 times this morning just to take in morphine to ease the pain. It was somewhat the same on the way to TTSH this morning for the blood test and currently the pain is still there but bearable but not sufficiently bearable that I could have a “wonderful” afternoon nap.

I ask that you continue to pray that:
a)      The pain and discomfort will stay away.
b)      For the chemo, that there will be no side effects nor add to the current pain.
c)      Nathan will behave so that Josie will have lesser things to hassle over.
d)     God will sustain Josie.

Kind of apprehensive as I am still fearful mentally and I am not really looking forward to the therapy but not having it is not an option either. The battle continues to be psychological and definitely far more difficult to adjust.

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