Audrey Harder
June 6: What a wonderful word from my Father this morning - "Oh Lord, throughout all generations, You have been our home. (Ps. 90:1). The pain is still with me but strong medication is helping. Getting on and off the table for radiation is is agonizing...but, it doesn't last forever and I get to go "home" to my sofa and heating pad! I have been going through the apostle Paul's life and my suffering is a breeze compared to his. I thank the Lord every day for His enablement. He and I have great conversations on my sofa! Thank you so much for praying - after today only 6 more to go! Forever grateful, Audrey
June 4: Audrey put her back out a few days ago and is in a lot of pain. She has seen a chiropractor, and the pain is improving. She went for her first radiation treatment yesterday, and while the treatment went well, the back pain made getting on and off of the table extremely difficult and painful for her. She has 9 more daily treatments. Please pray that the back pain eases so that getting her treatments isn't so difficult, and so she can sleep at night.
May 22: I just learned that the stage three esophageal cancer is now surrounding the esophagus (the tumour was previously inside and had disappeared) and has grown as has the lymph node. I will be having two weeks of radiation for a total of 10 treatments. Scheduling will be organized within the next few days and arrangements for Wheels of Hope have been made. The doctor has warned of extensive exhaustion and some side effects. During that time, followed by slow recuperation, I will be needing plenty of rest and little activity. Your prayer support will be greatly appreciated. I am in the good and gentle hands of my heavenly Father and at total peace. Actually it is exciting and challenging to see what He has planned...life would be so dull otherwise. Forever grateful, Audrey
