Life changes when someone you love becomes gravely ill. Every minute after is precious.
Thirty days ago, my husband was told his cancer had spread to his lungs and bone. Reeling from the news, he started slurring his words, stumbling, and experiencing double vision. He was rushed to the hospital and then to Duke Medical Center with a brain bleed. We were in shock, unsure if he’d survive.
In the Duke emergency room, we learned he had three cancerous tumors. One was behind his eye and needed to be removed within days, while the other two were inoperable. Nothing can prepare you for this.
He made it through the brain surgery and we went home two days later. I was stunned we were leaving so soon after such an invasive surgery. The doctors were amazing, and it was surreal to witness the advancements in medical technology and skill.
After surgery, he started radiation treatment at Duke for an intense therapy to kill the cancer cells with pinpoint accuracy, radiating each tumor in his head. This new type of radiation treatment is an advancement in medical science.
I met amazing people at the oncology/radiation clinic. Their faces and stories stayed with me. Many prayed for us, and I returned the love. I’m blessed to have met them. They truly touched my life.
I want to thank the wonderful people who work in all weather conditions and help people get in and out of their cars. ‘Duke Medical Center Valet Service,’ you’re the best!
As we undergo another surgery to install a port for chemotherapy, I’m reflecting on loving and caring more, living in the moment, and being thankful for those who care. I’m grateful for the angels God sent to bless us and for our Father in Heaven, who is present here and in heaven.
Please be patient with me during this difficult time. If you want to help, consider my amazing animals. I’d be grateful for any donation of feed or hay.
Gift cards to Tractor Supply Co. are also welcome. Mark your donation with a note ‘Hay Contribution’ or ‘Feed.’ Hay is essential for them during the winter months. Each round bale costs $50-$80 and I buy two a week.
