Life takes its turns. The throat cancer was so virulent, the best alternative presented to me was the strongest chemo now availble.
The body plunges rapidly under such an assault. Weird feelings; mind somewhere (it must be), but one can't seem to remember where one left it. Nausea, incredible weakness, severe weight loss (down to 111 pounds), hair that combs right out, dehydration .... finally 6 days in the hospital to begin stabilizing the body enough to start some recovery. Recovery toward round two.
From leaving the hospital yesterday, some improvement is being shown in being able to start back eating some (after liquids only for more than a week), beginning to walk short distances (across the condominium), and a general feeling that somewhere out there life still is possible.
The good news - all 3 tumors have definitely shrank!
For that I am very thankful. May God continue to guide us into the right steps for complete healing that will glorify Him.
Thank you all for your concern and prayers. In some darkest hours, unable to think straight enough to even pray for myself ("O Lord, help" was as far as I could think), the knowledge of your prayers has been a wonderful encouragement for me.
My gratitude to all,
Glenn
