His Grace, My Journey

  Thursday, Apr 25, 2013 3:34 pm Subject: One More Part of the Journey Down My mind remembers like yesterday being in Kansas with Lindsay and finding out that I had cancer. Somehow though, the time has felt very long... today it feels very short. I can not believe all that my body, spirit and soul have been through for the last eight months. Today I woke up at my parents house and I am just starting to comprehend that I do not have to go back to the hospital or a doctor until July 5th! Thank The Lord for the Extra Mural team of people, who come to your house! My last radiation treatment was a week ago today. They have explained to me that my skin will keep burning for the next two weeks, as the radiation will continue to work and be in my body for this time. Radiation was much better than chemo for me, though radiation has still presented its own set of challenges. My skin has split open in three areas that I must now wash with a saline solution three times a day...

April 5 th , 2013 A Lesson on the Road to Healing As I sit here and type I am saying 2!  I only have two weeks of radiation treatments left… only 9 treatments.   My heart was filled with joy earlier this week knowing I could see the light at the end of the tunnel on my journey with cancer.   As I am sure some of you have probably heard there were 186 people who had chemo treatments at the St. John hospital that received a diluted chemo drug and over a thousand in Ontario.   All along this journey through chemo, I seem to have been the exception to the rule and there were many bumps in the road and I was very ill.  I spent over a month in the hospital to achieve my 6 chemo treatments.  I had made it through chemo, which I honestly didn’t know if I was going to be able to do.  Through the love, support and prayers from many of you I did it.  Yesterday came what satan intended to be a huge bump in the road...
