Arg — mouth issues!
Hey gang –
We’re still doing pretty well here mentally and emotionally with my recurrence and my treatments. We are so thankful to the Lord that everything is going so well and that chemo seems to be doing its job.
The only new (and annoying) thing is I am struggling with mouth sores, which is quite common for those going through chemo. Chemo kills the bad stuff and the good so that has caused the departure of good cells in my mouth that keep it free from sores and such. So a bit icky but I would appreciate any prayers on this front! I am trying to get a prescription filled for “magic mouthwash” –ha!– to help reduce the pain and discomfort. Hopefully that will help.
On another front, I look forward to more time with the Lord to learn what he wants to say. Things have been quite crazy on other fronts so I have not had quality time with the Lord. I would really like to spend some good time like I did 3 years during that cancer battle where I learned so much from Him. I don’t want to miss anything that the Lord would want to say.
Love to you and yours!
Sara

My dear Howie. YUCK! Praying for added healing from side effects. Interesting that the one area that can keep us from hearing Him, is affecting you. I pray for full recovery, and for you to be cancer free once and for all. As for your journey, thank you for sharing it. Your testimony, today, and from 3 years ago is always fresh in my heart. You, my friend, are a blessing! Much love! Alyssa

Hi Sara, I heard about the recurrence from the Stinchcombs. I remember your encouragement to me (about exactly 2 years ago), at VHBC, when I was in the middle of my own induction therapy. Please be assured to my prayers for you as you beat this thing once more. – Wungram
