Some of you know, some do not. My wife was diagnosed with lupus a 1 1/2 ago. Since then she has been on prednisone, which has not helped. prednisone can cause cancer and now they want to try to use a new experimental type of drug that has a high chance of causing lymphomic cancer. Its bad when your specialist is getting frustrated with you, and this is what is happening now. He sent paper work on this new drug home with her last week (it seemed like to absolve them of any liability). My wife of course is depressed and upset. She already has a bad heart problem with the lupus. She was taking viox and we just found out of course that it has increased her risk for a stroke.
Please pray for her and ask anyone you can to pray for her also. Also for me as it is hard on me also. She needs the Lord's healing touch in this, without a doubt. For those who are not familar with lupus it is a disease where your bodies immnue system is attacking its own organs with the intent of destroying them like an infection. The survival rate is better than it use to be (use to be 6-9 years) for most, but my wife is fallling into the "not so good" category. Doctors cannot heal anything, only treat symptoms. In this case they cannot even do this. Only the Lord can heal her. She is only 28, 6 1/2 years younger than myself. This has really been hard on the both of us.
i appreciate any prayers.
The Lord bless you guys!!!!
Sincerely in Christ's love,
John
