It was a long week, but the news is good. They have removed all of the cancer present at this time. Perhaps there were angels watching over us. My DH will begin chemotherapy in September. It will last for seven weeks and then once a month for a year. It is a long road to complete recovery. And always looming over one’s head is the possibility of a reoccurence. But we are grateful for today and are hopeful for the future.
I confess to having a meltdown this week. I think I cried for five days straight. The emotions of the past months finally came out and wouldn’t stop. But I am fine now. And we are planning a two week vacation for ourselves soon. I need to be away from work and we both need to be away from doctors and hospitals.
Life is different now. It is what it is, but it does not mean that we cannot enjoy life and each other. I look forward to our time out west for a bit of rest and relaxation.
Thanks for all your notes and emails. I am grateful for your friendship. Averyclaire
