Prayer chains, healing circles, or whatever else you may be into are very much appreciated. We're fighting infection and neuropathy. Her spirits are still high, but there has been a fundamental shift.
It's tough to stay chipper when you are tired all the time and you can't feel your feet :-(

Yeah, you know with chemo there'll be bad days, but that doesn't make them any easier to slog through. Wishing the two of you strength, patience, and better days ahead.
