Please Pray for my Brother, Richard Briscoe!
Please keep my brother, Richard Briscoe, in your thoughts and prayers as he is still undergoing chemo treatments and fighting his battle with cancer. He was diagnosed with colon and lung cancer back in December of 2006, and his cancer was cleared out of his colon, but spread to his lungs. He is taking 2 different drugs on a weekly basis, and has some pretty severe side effects with the one called Erbitux. He has broken out with bumps on his head, neck, chest, and back. He also has an infection in his mouth as a result of the bumps. It is very painful, especially with them on his scalp. When he went to the doctor yesterday, his doctor couldn't believe how serious his reaction is and said to Richard, "This is unbelievable, God Bless You for enduring this pain." My brother was not able to receive treatment this past Friday nor 2 weeks before becasue his reaction was too severe. The doctor is going to reduce the dosage starting immediately, and we are all praying that this terrible rash will calm down.
