I feel bad asking for prayers when the world is in chaos. But, I figured maybe you'd appreciate the distraction. I have come here before asking what you would do in medical situations (certainly not asking for medical advice). I've received a lot of good insights. In 2022 my Mom was cured of cancer doing the traditional chemo and radiation treatment. Now she has a different cancer - and even with being scanned every 3 months the cervix cancer is stage 4. She's going to do the traditional chemo/radiation again. She's a good patient and does whatever the DR's say without question. I'm not going to be able to change that.
Part of the original cancer treatment involved a low dose of brain radiation. She simply is not thriving. If you felt your parent (or you) had cognitive decline what would you do?? Emotionally, this is one of the hardest things I've had to do. Watching my dear Mom fight for her life and worrying about her and seeing her almost lost at times -- more and more often.
I know you're going to tell me that chemo-radiation isn't the way to go. Believe me, I know that. But, this is her body and her fight and I need to respect that. I never want her to doubt her decision now that it has been made and just want her to feel supported. And, I want her to be ok and I am scared.
I've talked to her primary DR and she seems to think my Mom isn't sleeping well and doesn't offer solutions. I know the Alzheimer pill has a lot of problems and isn't the way to go. But, is there anything else out there?
Thank you again for sharing your insights and I always appreciate prayers!!
Your respect for your mother's decision is such a blessing. God loves you both so very, very much. He will honor our agreement in prayer for her healing and your peace. There have been great suggestions here re: ivermectin, fenben, etc., so I pray, Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us with an everlasting love. Our every breath praises Your Name, You are the Lord who forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases, and we bring the needs of a beloved mother and her child before You now, believing Your Word that Your forgiveness and healing are available to all who ask in faith. Father, we ask for healing for this dear woman, from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet. We speak life and restoration over her in Jesus' name. We curse any cancer in her body and tell it to leave her now in Jesus' name, and we cancel any negative diagnoses and their effects on her or any member of her family in Jesus' name. We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper. She is Your precious daughter, Father, and we ask that You restore her fully - spirit, soul, and body - so that she may serve as a living testament to Your grace, mercy, and love. We also ask that You grant her child the peace of Your Spirit that passes all understanding, confidence in the power, love, and self-control given to us through that Spirit, and faith in the wisdom and discernment that You generously grant every one who asks. Finally, as they see Your will for their wholeness in this life come to fruition, we ask that You grant Your daughter and her child the desire to know how much You love them, delight in them, and treasure the time they would take to honor and praise You as their heavenly Father. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen. I know what your situation feels like. I also know my God. No matter what you see or hear, have faith that if your mother's desire is to be healed, that is God's will for her too. Speak His words of life over her daily. Trust in Him without reservation, and talk with Him freely. This is for you: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" (Heb. 11:1). Hang in there, fren. I am confident that He will bless you and your mother richly.
