Oh gosh, I know this is very hard for both you and your husband. It’s difficult to fathom anytime we hear the word cancer or leukemia. We immediately fear the worst and our head’s fill with every horrible conversation we’ve ever heard or read about cancer. I’m here to toss out a lifeline of hope for you. I dealt with the worst…faced it head on and you know what? While it wasn’t a walk on the beach at the time, the worst had no power over me! I’m now in a durable remission and all that worry was for nothing. It did change my perspective to where my life is a little more in order in the background such as financials, documents, passwords, etc., so my daughter won’t have an impossible task later on. Because wow, I realized I’m not immortal.

But I don’t waste a minute of my life worrying about ‘what if” anymore. I’ve been given a 2nd chance and I don’t take that for granted. While a diagnosis can be frightening and obviously life altering it doesn’t mean the end. Things may be different for a while but we can be overcomers! ☺️
Our bodies are made for healing and with the proper treatments they can help us get rid of the offending nuisance…which honestly, that’s what these cancer cells are…a nuisance. So look at any treatment coming up as a means to nuking these pests or taking out the trash so that your husband can get back to his former healthy self.
When is his next appointment?
