Jillian Treament/Health Update

Life update #5: 

It’s been a week since my first chemo injection. Nausea, slight fever, runny nose, chills, achy bones, stomach cramps, muscle spasms, and crazy fatigue. Apparently it’s nicknamed, “chemo flu.” 

The best way I can describe it is that it feels like I got in a fight and they really had it out for my face and stomach. On the outside, I might look mostly okay, but on the inside we have a full on Fight Club going on.

First rule of Fight Club is you don’t talk about Fight Club… 

screw that. 

People should be aware of what bodies go through during chemo. Chemo goes after the fastest growing cells in the body: hair, the digestive tract, the skin, bone marrow, finger nails and toe nails, the reproductive system, AND cancer cells too!

Unfortunately, the healthy cells are taking some heavy punches along the way as my body is beating itself up all over trying to get a few knock out punches on the breast cancer.

So if I seem a little slower, filterless, groggier, or disappear for a bit, don't worry. I’ll be back… whoops… that’s a different action movie.

Nigerian Believers

🇳🇬 79,323 people were killed in 15,434 Islamist attacks across Nigeria between October 2019 and September 2025. Christian civilians were disproportionately targeted, facing a 4.4-times higher risk of death and a 3.2-times higher risk of abduction than Muslim civilians.

Fulani terrorist groups and other unidentified Islamist groups were responsible for more civilian deaths and abductions than Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa combined. Christian captives were often subjected to harsher treatment during abductions.

Mike O B. - Jillians Cancer Treatment Progress

Cancer doesn’t just reorganize your calendar, it rearranges the furniture of your soul.

As I wait, and Jillian undergoes her first chemo treatment, I think about things I “know” in the face of cancer.

Control: I knew there was lots I didn’t control before, but cancer reminds me that there are things going on in our bodies, life or death things, that go on all the time that we have NO control over.

And with chemo we trust OTHER people, people we didn’t even know before today to do things, life or death things, inside our body too!

Hope: cancer is a great reminder that hope isn’t simply optimism. It can be something much sturdier.

Optimism says, “I think everything will work out.” (Nothing wrong with optimism, but hope is more)

Hope says, “Even if everything doesn’t work out the way I want, God is still faithful.”

Last thought as I wait… I'm surprised at how many folk speak so much louder on their phones in the waiting room than they do in person.

Another Massacre of Christians in Nigeria

Franklin Graham - Help in Venezuela

Today our @SamaritansPurse 767 took off for Venezuela loaded with an Emergency Field Hospital and life-saving supplies. The devastation in Caracas and surrounding areas is just heartbreaking. Around 50,000 people are missing after back-to-back earthquakes collapsed hundreds of buildings—and damaged several hospitals. Our field hospital is capable of treating more than 100 patients per day. Please pray as we go to help in Jesus’ Name.
