Chemo Drug Causes Liver Problems

Because I was offline all day, I had no idea what was going on with Mish Weiss. There is a very ominous post on her blog. The new chemotherapy drug, which just about everybody encouraged her to take, is causing liver problems.

Here is my bad, third-hand, lay explanation. The drug causes cancerous material to be flushed out of the body, and it can collect in the liver, where it forms obstructions and generates a great deal of pain. Evidently, this can be life-threatening. There is concern that Mish may not survive the next few days. You might as well read it yourself.

I don’t know what to do. Pray, obviously. Maybe fast.

By the way, reader R. sent me a thank-you email. I asked people to pray for her daughter-in-law, who was having a painful recovery from aneurysm surgery, and whose marriage was under stress. R. says:

Thanks for the prayers. They worked. At noon she looked like she had been run over by a Mack truck, eyes so swollen she could barely open them. And nauseated very badly from the pain meds. At five she could open her eyes and was sitting in a chair but was a pretty big shock to the girls when we took them in to see her. She was also still very nauseated, but they changed to a pain patch and my son called about 7 and said she was so much better, had got up and walked twice, the Foley was out, plumbing was working, and when she talked to the girls to say good night, they thought she sounded normal.

She also requests continued prayer.
