Chemo Update

Julie was able to start chemotherapy yesterday late afternoon. She will take three pills in the morning and three at night for two weeks and then get a week off. This cycle will likely repeat a few times. Please pray that the chemo would be effective in decreasing the tumors, alleviating pain, and that Julie would experience a minimal reduction in her quality of life. Please pray that Julie would continue to experience a peace that surpasses understanding. Pray that her family and friends might experience that too.

As previously mentioned, this chemotherapy has a tumor reduction success rate of about 60%. But we don’t put our trust in numbers or stats. They are helpful pieces of information, but ultimately we place our trust in the Lord.

We know that we can trust in Him for all things, that He is our refuge, our hope, and peace. We know that when we cry out to Him in our grief over this sickness, He hears every one of our cries and keeps record of them (Psalm 56:8).
