I Didn't Know a Rash Could Get There

Now, I have to take a moment to give thanks to God.  My mouth sores got pretty bad again last week, and almost everyone told me to get prepared for them to get worse.  Well, last time my mouth sores got really bad, they actually got better.  I held out hope that this would happen again and asked many to pray for this.  GOD DEFINITELY ANSWERED PRAYERS!!!  While the sores are very uncomfortable, they have not gotten worse.  Praise the Lord!!!

However, my rash has gotten worse...

But I can't complain too much because I have been told that a rash all over your face and chest is the main side effect of the chemo I am taking and that it can get REALLY bad.  My rash has stayed mostly to around my mouth and has not shown up too bad until the last week and a half of my therapy.  But, then, I found out today that the rash has found a new home...

MY EAR CANALS!  Isn't that crazy?  Fortunately, the pain went away with the ear infection I did get.  But, it is not fun to have an itch in a place you can't scratch.  Don't feel bad for me, though, because it doesn't itch too much.

Lastly, I want to brag on my wife again, even though I am going to get in trouble.  That is why I am tucking it here after my rash dialogue (maybe she won't see it).  I found this on our bathroom mirror 2 days ago...

She changes the countdown while I am gone for treatment everyday.  She's a keeper, for sure.  I love you, Jess.  Thanks for being such a great encourager and coach through this.
