Annarchy Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 My sister has been diagnosed with cancer. They are starting chemo & radiation and more tests and have warned her she will be burned after her treatments. That was hard to hear because I know several people who went through that... and didn't survive. I'm sending her a box of aloe plants today, I hope it helps. Thank you all for your prayers.

zophiel Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Oh dear! I've benn the one getting chemo and radiation before, and that was quite a troublesome year! I'll pray for her. I don't know what cancer she has, but because of where mine was, my radiation burns were internal, in my esophagus. Felt like a crazed cat trying to escape my throat every time I swallowed-- but they were able to presribe me something the pharmicists call "Magic Mouthwash" that worked very well in numbing/ healing the burns. Anyway, I pray that she'll be well. And that's you'll be well-- I swear, the people around me had a tougher time of my sickness than I did, simply because they worried and fretted more than I did.

Annarchy Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Thank you all for your prayers, she can use them. I got a call from her this morning, she 3 weeks into chemo and daily radiation treatments with 3 more weeks to go. She requested prayers to handle the pain. Quote Link to comment

Ambergris Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I have heard somewhere of an organization that provides free housekeeping assistance for people on radiation therapy. You might look up whether it's available in her area. One less thing for her to worry about. Quote Link to comment

Stephanie Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Ann, I am just seeing this and will be adding your sister to my prayers as well. I have a dear friend who is going through radiation and about to start chemo. It is horrific on the pain scales. I will particularly pray for relief from the pain for your sister.

Annarchy Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 We've been talking. She's not doing well, intense pain, burned and blistered enough they are going to quit the therapy and she's on bed rest. It was the plead in her voice when she said, "Pray for me." Thank you all for your prayers, she has called several times and said they helped her get through another day. *Heavy Sigh* Quote Link to comment
themartianchick Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 My prayers will continue for her... It is so difficult to know that someone is suffering and not be able to offer more. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 A quick update. When it rains... Her DH is hospitalized for appendicitis. Quote Link to comment
