Life Goes On

While I was enjoying myself at the reunion things were not going so well here at home. My son-in-law is still battling cancer and fading drastically these days and we don't know if it's the disease or the powerful drug that's wearing him down.

David had a catscan on Tuesday but won't get the results until next Tuesday. No-one who hasn't gone through this knows how very long that week can be. What happens is that the only moments you relax and truly forget about the cancer are the moments you're in deep sleep. And sleep is not easy to obtain.

When my husband was sick and dying from cancer, each day of that year was like a merry go round of hope, fear, and lots of tears but you can't ever give up hope because hope is a form of faith healing. I know many people who have beaten cancer more than once so we know it can be beaten. Unfortunately, my husband's health dropped below the level where he couldn't fight anymore and that's when we knew the cancer had won the battle.

I have higher hopes for David. He's younger and stronger even though he's going through a bad spell right now. We just have to wait for the results to come back next Tuesday. Our biggest hope is that the drug has done it's job and he can go on a lower dose so that his quality of life will improve. We have to keep in mind that these drugs are poison to our system and not only attack the cancer but also healthy tissue and that can make you unwell.

All prayers and good wishes gratefully accepted, thank you.
