Today was the start of week 4 and the side effects are not getting any easier. Devin is exhausted all the time. She can no longer eat by mouth and is totally dependent on the feeding tube again. The doctor added a 4th pain med to try to control the pain in her mouth. The thrush has cleared up but has been replaced by lesions that Dr. Lin says will only get worse for the next 3 weeks. I pray that the pain meds work. Also her hair has begun to fall out :( Dr. Lin says all this is normal and that since her cancer is a aggressive one they must treat it aggressively. He says she is handling it all very well although keeping her spirits up is becoming difficult. We are looking forward to November 10th when she can ring the bell in the office and be done with this stage of treatment.
Please keep her in your prayers and if you would like to donate to help Devin with her medical expenses here is a link to her Go Fund Me sit.
Hugs to all,
Rose
