Hi!
A quick update on Rhonda –
She began her second round of chemo treatments on Tuesday, October 7th. This round she will receive two kinds of chemo – one kind she will receive while at the Cancer Treatment Center which will take about 2 ½ hours; after that, she will get a pump (and bag) hooked to her port and will receive the second kind of chemo from that. The following Thursday (two days later) she will go back to the Cancer Treatment Center and have the pump disconnected. She will repeat this procedure every other week for four months. Last week, right after the treatments, she experienced some nausea and digestive problems (which are ongoing), but this week is doing better, so we are hopeful that the side effects won’t get any worse than they have been as the treatments go on.
This is obviously going to be another long road for Rhonda and her family, but it is the last leg of the recovery journey – for that, we are thankful!! Rhonda does sincerely appreciate all your prayers, and kindnesses shown to her and her family throughout this time. She and I talk often about how thankful we are to be surrounded by so many good people.....a blessing from God.
Please keep praying for our good friend – God hears!
