I was also able to talk with the Cancer Agency counsellor about the CPP disability forms, and I got her to review them as she knows what kind of info and level of detail the committee looks for to approve one's application. So, that's a definite praise that I got that looked over and some more questions answered.
I haven't "talked" with my husband in days now. What should be a few minute verbal conversation turns into a 45 min. period of waiting for him to type what he wants to say, I respond, and then wait again. His level of concentration is certainly lower. That's been very hard.
Please pray that chemo will take the swelling down in his tongue quickly and significantly so he can talk again. It's very hard for him to have such a limited ability to communicate.
Please pray that the bit of nausea he feels from chemo would not worsen, and that he wouldn't experience any other side effects. Pray that the chemo will target only the cancer cells and that God would protect the healthy ones. Chemo is toxic to both -- healthy cells just slowly recover in ways cancer cells can't.
Daniel's sleep has also gotten worse lately due to the pain. Last night he was up every hour again. Please pray that this would improve quickly as he needs to be able to get good rest to fight well.
Thank you so much for your prayers and the practical help from many of you. We would also find it very encouraging to learn what God is showing you and teaching you in your personal walk with Him (or what you've been thinking if you don't know Him personally). We know this is so far beyond just us. As John Piper said, "Don't waste your cancer." Daniel and I want to see God glorified through this, so as you think of it, please let us know the details of how God is being glorified through our struggle. We'd be so grateful.
