Metisha had her first round of the new chemo last Thursday and it has been rough, very, very, very rough. Our fearless super hero isn’t feeling so super :( She has admitted to painful tears, being tired and just wanting some normal. And as you know, she doesn’t admit to these things often.
Her weekend was consumed with intense pain in her liver, general all over body pain, severe headaches, and some nausea. Chemo is toxic, and she is definitely feeling that way. She is feeling better and back at school today, but is definitely fatigued by the end of the day. Of course 5th graders can be exhausting by themselves!
But as always, in the midst of the unbearable trials she still has her humor. She decided if she’s going to have short spiky hair, it might as well be fun hair. So she and Mark made a trip to the drug store over the weekend and picked up some pink hair dye. Unfortunately it didn’t work, but it’s always good to hear of humor in her day!
It is the last week of sugar free and Metisha has done great! Not only has she avoided sugar but she has also avoided sugar substitutes! Thank you to everyone who has stood by her with a sugar free January!
So we are praying all of this pain is indicating the chemo is violently attacking and KILLING the cancer and that as the cancer is reduced the pain will improve. Our prayer is always that Metisha can live, with cancer for now and soon cancer free.
