Hi guys and gals,
A little backstory:
My Mom was recently diagnosed with a rare cancer-like disease called Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. She has it in her lungs. It is a progressive disease with no certain cure but can be sometimes treated with Chemo/Radiation. It can spread to any organ. I know how barbaric and nasty chemotherapy is, and that often people don't even die from the disease they are trying to treat, but instead die from the reaction to the chemicals.
Yesterday her doctor recommended she go on a low-dose treatment in pill form for 2 months and see if the tiny "tumors" in her lungs disappear. She starts tomorrow. Some report very few side effects. She isn't the most healthy person in the world to begin with...I am afraid for her.
She is a believer and there is evidence she was born again by most standards(though I am confused on the gospel myself, so I cant have a lot of certainty for her).
I just ask that you guys please agree in prayer with me that this chemo does not go wrong and that she is truly saved, whatever the outcome. She is the only professing Christian in my family and we are very close...I cant imagine life without her. Please pray that God strengthen me to be a light to her in this time, that I put myself aside and can serve her with love and patience and faith and be a good minister of the gospel to her.
Thank you very much,
God bless you
