It means so much to me to be sharing in this race with you. To have you there--alive and kicking, raising money to help others fighting this disease. It's an amazing privilege! We may be on different teams, but in reality everyone participating in the relay is on ONE BIG team. That night will be so fun and heartfelt. <br /><br />Okay, and The Chariots of Fire music is cracking me up. <br /><br />Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way,<br /><br />CheriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258723419563128813.post-62415749510380805382010-02-23T21:32:06.126-06:002010-02-23T21:32:06.126-06:00hi Sue,
i've been reading your blog for a few ...hi Sue,<br />i've been reading your blog for a few months...and praying for you... i was drawn to your blog b/c my mom is a cancer survior...cancer of the tonsils...and she's now having some potentially serious trouble with her teeth/jaw (side effect of radiation)... <br />after chemo and radiation, she had an infection at the site of a surgery (radical neck dissection)...it took awhile for it to go away...a month or more... i think that healing just takes longer now...<br /><br />but, i wanted to tell you she's having hyper baric treatments now and that's promoting the healing to the jaw and gums... apparently, radiation almost destroys your small vessels in the areas where you were radiated the most... this hinders the blood flow and thus impedes your ability to heal and fight infection... <br />she's had a few infections come up in the last few months...and the hyper baric chamber has helped... perhaps this is something that can also help you heal... <br />she's having 40 hyper baric sessions...they're painless (except for having your ears pop) and within around 10 or so "dives," amazingly, your body shows signs of quicker healing... :)<br /><br />many blessings to you, my blogger friend... :) i stand in awe of you... :)The Rakowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10008933727860119830noreply@blogger.com
