I'm Discouraged. Not sure what more to write. The tumors have not subsided, and possibly continue to grow. The ones on my face are being blasted with Chemo AND Radiation, but they're still there. Tomorrow I'm getting a higher dose of Cytoxan to try to combat it. We'll see how it goes.
Some good news... my hair has started to grow back.
The bad news... higher doses of Cytoxan normally take my hair. Oh well... if it goes then it was good while it lasted.
I'll be in touch.

Well, you sure have every reason to feel discouraged. These latest setbacks would knock down even Goliath. You have borne all of this with such grace and are an example to people everywhere, but even you, have your limits. God bless you as you continue the struggle.

Dear Bishop Savage,
ReplyDeleteWe are with you in prayer and in heart and mind. We have been praying and fasting as a family. We love you and want you to know all of your Ascutney family loves you. We will continue to plead with heavenly father for your complete health and recovery. You are an inspiration to us all.
Love
Eric and Sandra
When I asked how she shows up every day and lives life to the fullest, my friend who has been battling Stage 4 colon cancer told me, "I give cancer its due in the moments that I have to BUT I won't give it one more moment than it's due". I'm so inspired by the strength of character and courage you and she demonstrate to all of us in how to live every day. I'm glad you allow yourself to be human and 'have your moments'. I'm honored that you choose to share those moments with us.
ReplyDeleteI pray for all of you for blessings, healing, and love. Please know we love you all and send our biggest hugs to you.
Love,
Liz
I can't say it better than Liz..."strength of character and courage". Your humility is inspiring, your faith and trust amazing. God bless you all. You know how much we love you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for staying open about your situation when it would be easy to hide. I pray the Lord will comfort you and that you will continue to receive the blessings you need each and every day to bear these burdens and hope for relief.
ReplyDeleteAt least you are honest ... and it is okay to be discouraged! You've been through a lot - and it would have knocked a lot of people to the ground a long time ago. You are in my thoughts and prayers...
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers surround you all.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the blog, Much love. Scott
