July 2012 Update on Mom

This is an update on my mom that my sister Lori wrote and posted on Facebook.

Thank you for your faithful prayers for our family. Mom was given a break from chemo for four months this spring.  In June, scans showed some change in her bones and additional tests found cancer in her bone marrow and spots on her liver. The cancer in the bone marrow helps explain the fluctuations in her blood counts even when she wasn’t on chemo.

Mom started chemotherapy again this past Monday. Please pray that it would be effective in getting rid of the cancer in her bone marrow and liver. Pray also for relief from side effects such as nausea and weariness and for protection from sickness or infection. She needed another blood transfusion today (Saturday) to help raise her blood count. Hopefully, this will help with some of the tiredness that she has been having, as well.

Her outlook is cheerful and full of hope as always. We praise the Lord for His goodness and the grace that He gives from day to day. “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.” – Psalm 34:8
