Rough Patch

Metisha has been continuing her oral chemo and IV bone treatments and her last two rounds of blood work has shown that her cancer markers have gone down which is a positive sign. We are very thankful for these drops and continue to believe that God will use these treatments to heal her!

Since she was responding so well to the oral chemo her doctor decided to increase the dosage but this is causing a rough patch for Tisha. She’s been very tired, is hurting a lot through her entire body and now has blisters and bruising on her feet and is developing blisters on her hands. As you know, if Metisha says something is hurting, the pain is very bad!

Please pray with us for Metisha to be relieved of these side effects. She goes back to the doctor on Wednesday so pray for wisdom for Dr. Nugent to prescribe the best treatment for total healing with the least physical impact on Metisha. We’ve always been so thankful that Metisha has been able to truly live with cancer, but these recent side effects are holding her back so we are praying that God will restore her current good health and her permanent freedom from cancer. We are praying specifically that she will improve quickly over the next few weeks because she has a trip to Disney World in 32 days!

Of course through all of this Metisha continues to smile and laugh. I was talking to her while she was in the chemo room getting her last bone IV treatment and she was just laughing and joking with the nurses and thanking them for their help. I would hate that room, hate the process, hate everything about it but she is just her amazing, strong, upbeat self!

Metisha will also have a new set of scans done this month. With scans always comes some apprehension and fears so pray for Metisha to continue to believe in her healing and that the scans will continue to show no cancer in her bones, no new cancer spots anywhere else and a huge improvement in her liver.

God does and will heal!!!
