Topic: Renewed Prayer Request
Since last I posted about my wife, much has happened. She completed her final chemo treatment on the 13th of October and then began arrangements to begin radiation. We were told she would have 35 treatments over the course of 7-1/2 weeks, finishing up near the end of December. 3 days before her marker appointment, she started experiencing a pain in her back that was reminiscent of her breast tumor pain. She mentioned this pain at her marker appointment and, because she was having a PET scan done the next day, her marker appointment was rescheduled for 2 days after that. On that day we learned that her breast cancer had spread to both lungs, had been present before her chemo had started and was incurable. 5 days later the oncologist told us the cancer will spread to other parts of the body and with successful treatment she could expect 1-2 years of survival, without success only months. With my job going away at the end of December, we are in dire straights.
We know that all of this is in God's hand and His plan for us is in motion. We don't know what that plan is or what other challenges are coming, but my wife will be going home in the not too distant future.
Please pray that our faith holds and that we remain vertical in our focus, that my waves of depression subside, and that she and I can make the best of the time we have left together.
