Prayers for the New Year

Cancer and chemo are just plain brutal. Jack was blessed with somewhat of a reprieve over Christmas break. Even though he had to spend every other week at Hurley for high dose chemo, when he was home he felt pretty good and was able to go out and see friends. Things seemed not normal, but manageable. 

Last week, however, Jack started a new phase of chemotherapy called "Delayed Intensification" and it has hit him hard. Jack is a fighter but this is tough. Nausea and stomach issues are making him miserable every waking minute. 

We would so appreciate your prayers that:

• his doctors would find a way to give him some relief
• Jack would be encouraged to persevere through the next eight weeks of this phase
• the nausea and stomach issues would not continue into the next phases of treatment

As always, thanks so much for your steadfast prayers and support.
