Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

As I thank the Lord for those who pray for me, I thought an update would be in order. Monday last I saw doctor during my infusion. The clinical trial that I am in has closed, but a humanitarian clause in FDA regulations allows those who benefit from experimental drugs to continue on them. My scans are still clear, but it seems the side effects of the drug have ramped up a little lately. While it is not chemotherapy per se, and is considered low-toxicity, it does have some side effects similar to chemo.

Due to my treatment schedule and the side effects (and my involuntary retirement), I have applied for social security disability. With what may lie ahead, I can use the medicare qualification. So, as has been the case over the past two years, I remain in a sort of limbo. I can discontinue the drug and take the chance that the cancer will not come back. However, the strongest chemo that I could take, involving eight different chemotherapy drugs three times per week over four months did not kill it, and came close to killing me!.

There is also risk in remaining on the drug. Cancer has a way of mutating around anti-cancer drugs. If I go off the drug and the cancer comes back it might react to the drug and it might not. If I stay on the drug, the cancer might mutate around it. The only other treatments are 1) “salvage therapy”, in which I am given a massive dose of chemo over 24 hours in the hospital and sent home with best wishes, and 2) one of various forms of stem cell transplant, which will require total body radiation and an expected high degree of graft vs. host disease - in other words, the beginning of the end. I much prefer belief in God, where I’m only damned if I don’t! Again, it reinforces my assertion that my life hangs by the thread of prayer. However, I have accepted the type of death which the Lord has planned for me.

I am thankful more and more for all of you faithful prayer warriors who call down the graces of life. Amen!
