We got “Chemo Teaching” today at the oncologist. It was good and helped to provide clarity around what the process will look like, and what kind of side effects may occur.

Chemo starts this coming Monday (12th)

Rebecca will be doing chemo in 3 month stints, every other Monday for 4-5 hours she’ll get 2 types of chemo, and then will wear a pump for 48 hours that slowly administers a 3rd chemo, then into the the doctor that Wednesday to have it removed, then meet with doctor the following Friday for blood and urine tests and then another round of chemo the following Monday. If this is confusing this may help to visualize:

… that will basically repeat 6 times (so 12 weeks in total)

We will meet with the oncologist this Friday (9th)

Prayer requests:

• for our conversation with the doctor this Friday, he was very vague at our last appointment, and from looking into things this doesn’t seem to be a very vague type of disease. We are hoping he is more forthcoming in things to either confirm or deny what we’ve found out. We are also hoping to get some realistic estimates on timelines so that we can start making plans
• for the girls as that conversation was really hard, and they tend to hold things in more
• for Rebecca to keep positive even in what seems like an ocean of negative
• for God to strengthen me and help me to serve Rebecca well through this
