The toll of chemo & the cost of Innocence

Amy is starting to get sores on the bottom of her feet and in her mouth, her oncologist said this might occur and is a direct result of the chemo drugs. Faced with either losing your hair or getting sores on your feet and in your mouth, which would you choose? I guess for me it would depend upon how painful the sores will get. I was incorrect in my count yesterday, Amy’s last treatment will be Tuesday. April 25th, that means as of today she has 9 more treatments.

We had a sad happenstance yesterday which is unrelated to Amy and her condition and while we are holding this a private matter, I would ask that you pray that God grants Amy & I wisdom, patience & love in handling this unspoken issue (and no, it’s not marriage related).

This is Amy's story as seen and told by me - V

Comments:
Amy ask your doctor about using wound care products such as lanolin based dermagram and lanabalm from blue sky medical. Eric got candy some, also he suggested she use lanolin and white gloves, her skin on her hands peeled. You could always use socks. Ask your doctor before trying. We will keep praying for his will to be done, and for you wisdom and patience in dealing with what he has chosen for you to bear. May God Bless and Keep You. Love Janie
