Casualties of War

A couple of nights ago, I watched a movie with my mom that portrayed a pretty intense battle scene.

Taking place in the late 1800‘s, it involved hand to hand combat with one side having various guns and ammo, while the other side had only swords to fight with.

Needless to say, there were many casualties and naturally only the main character survived.

Last Tuesday night, I began my cancer treatment-a targeted gene therapy in a pill form that attacks an epidermal enzyme that makes the cancer grow.

As I took it that first night we prayed and my 17 year old chanted “kill it, kill it!"

Indeed that is the goal.

In every war there are casualties and I was warned that this would have side affects, but nothing prepared me for what I am dealing with now.

My entire head is covered in painful pustules (very gross I know) that are just continually oozing. I cannot wash my hair or touch my head as this makes it worse

The doctors had to take me off cancer drug two days ago and are now trying a second antibiotic as of today and pain pills 
( thankfully) to alleviate the problem. They said they have never seen as bad of a reaction as this.

This is a quick and desperate shout out to ask for prayer. I definitely can relate with Job on this level, but he did not have any pain meds, so he was in much worse shape.

Please pray that this gets under control. That the infection stops and that somehow by God’s grace and intervention I could go back on the cancer drug.

I am at His mercy and in His hands.

Love you and thank you so much.
