Well, here I am, blogging. Is this for real? I am pretty proud of myself for figuring out how to set this up.
So why a blog? I just want to be heard. I want to know that I am not alone in my journey. I want to know that there are others out there who are listening to my tales of joy or woe. You see I am a care taker. I added this title to my list of titles in April 2009 when my husband was diagnosed with mesothelioma. It is a rare form of cancer that comes from exposure to asbestos. His is even more rare in that it is in his peritoneum or his abdominal cavity. We have been on a roller coaster ride ever since. First we are told he only has a few months to live. Then we find a DR in NY who is having greater success with this disease so off we go to NY and there we find hope. Then the treatments begin and back on the roller coaster we go until finally one day in October a year ago when the DR told us that the treatments were successful and we could go home for 3 months. It has been almost a year since then, we have had 2 more visits where they said....3 more months. And then in July the symptoms started to return. We go back, they do the scans and there is a spot...but they said 3 more months so we thought we were still good. But the symptoms continued to worsen and now we are looking at surgery again. And I don't want to be alone....I want to know that there are people out there walking along side of me....holding me up in prayer.
Let the next phase of the journey begin....
