Hopes not reality

Well, based on the energy Cathy appeared to exhibit Friday evening, I had hoped this chemo would, indeed, be easier on her and she could make WEEKLY attendance at church starting this Sunday. Saturday put those hopes to rest. Taxol, evidently, is also very TaxING. While Cathy has had an appetite and "satisfied" it, shortly thereafter the nausea has returned. Additionally she is more fatigued and is experiencing body pain like she didn't during rounds 1-4. The pain will make it's frenetic rounds at various locations in her body right down to her ankles and toes. The neuropathy appears to be ending up in her hands again, in addition to the aches and pains she has felt elsewhere. Another College Church Sunday with only my Hopester in tow [well, it appears Wesley will be more frequent again, too, but in his own time!]

Cathy,

You are missed when not able to make it to church...but a bright spot when you are up to it! Our family is amazed at your energy and care for others during the midst of these nasty treatments.
We care about you and your family and will continue to uphold you before our gracious Lord in prayer. With love, Gail
