Yesterday I had my scan, and it appears that nothing has changed. This could mean that the chemo has slowed the growth of the cancer; plus, the scan was done of a larger area which did not show any new cancer. For these things we thank God, and thank all of you for praying.
After my last update with the good news of no nausea and more energy, I had a new development which can sometimes happen with chemo. I got thrush in my mouth at first and then down my esophagus making it incredibly hard to swallow. Everyone is trying to get me to eat and drink so that I won’t get dehydrated and will regain some strength, but it has been almost impossible. Fortunately, I have been able to get some new medication for the thrush and it is beginning to clear up.
Please keep praying that God will give us wisdom for each step of this process. Our first visit with MD Anderson is on Feb. 10th. Also, pray that I will keep trusting God with each new development that comes my way.
Thank you for your faithful prayers. We love all of you!
Thanks for this update; know that many prayers continue for your healing and your family throughout this process.
So sorry for the dry mouth and swallowing problems but glad to hear cancer not growing. Praying for you and Al
Oh Nancy, continue to pray and believe God goes before you in each new step!Praying He continues to keep you in His peace and provision for your daily needs! He holds each and every moment of your days! Praying He surrounds you and reveal His desire for His own! Ps :121

Constantly lifting you up in prayer. God’s grace is with you and he will not leave your side. The road may be rough, but many prayer warriors are praying for healing in your body.
Memories from the past – We had a baby shower at Aunt Evelyn’s and figured out if we each had a girl the name would be Allison. We figured that it was no big deal and our path rarely crossed. When they were 2-3 they were in the same dance classes. What a hoot!
Love you Nancy!
Lord, near our prayers…
Nancy I’m praying for you daily throughout the day. A couple came in the shop last week and they didn’t know you but knew about you and are praying for you! God is good all the time! I’ll be praying for the thrush to go away quickly. I pray that God will give you His comfort, His peace, and His guidance throughout each day. Love
Keeping you in my prayers. Thanks for update and praying meds will help the thrush.
Our family is praying for your healing and wisdom.
We love you!
Lynn and Austin
Thanks for the followup. Candida esophagitis can be treated well with diflucan Rx . Although it is common with chemo , it is very painful in the esophagus. We are praying for your strength & improvement as you go through this process and glad you are getting second opinion .
