Cancer

Well, folks update on his Cancer battle. . Coming this September will be 5th year of his Cancer battle. I can't believe that time has marched.

Together we have been on this Cancer battle.

My husband has been very lucky to make it to this point of 5 years with type of Cancer. The life span with type of Cancer is 5 to 7 years. We will take every year that comes our way after 5 years. He felt like he it was getting kicked in the teeth with this type of Cancer. He picked himself and started to fight this thing.

The support from the doctors and staff we have met has been truly amazing. They have been strong for him in this battle. I have also been supportive with this battle. It reminds me our wedding vows said "in sickness and health."

With many appointment to doctors for his treatment. Our calendar is mess with all the appointment. We have three of them going so we don't over book a day or time.

The best part of the treatment process was when he got to ring the bell to end the radiation treatments. That was 45 days three times a week. It is one day a time, one treatment at time for 45 days. He did it. With a smile on his face.

There has been changes in our lives together. Wills has to be make up and the plans when the Cancer finally takes his life. These of things that you never thing about when have no Cancer in your life. It done and we are glad that we made the plans.

Yes, make that bucket list. You make it work and do things that is on that bucket list to make the person feel better. You make plans with people who haven't talk to in years and call family when you need support. The important call to make is the Cancer support line when you think that you can't do it no more. They will help you got though the bad times. Do that bucket list before to to late to do that bucket list.

Take time to watch you his favorite sports, television show with him because you know if will be the last time he gets to watch it.

Hugs and support is the most imported thing needed in this battle. I am here to give him that support that he needs when he is feeling down. He has never felt that he was only one in his Cancer battle. We have battle this together for the 5 years and pray and hope that there is more years to come his way.

Yes, we have stopped and smelled the roses. Sat in baseball parks to watch his favorite team. Long walks at sunset the beaches holding hands which makes us feel like we are dating all over again.

This year it was our 25th wedding anniversary. We wonder if it will be our last one together. Yes, it was the back in the of our minds.

We got our Covid-19 shots and we went away for the 2 days. We didn't care where it was it was just two of us. We enjoyed the time. We went away It was only for 2 days but we were so happy. Cancer was the last thing on our minds

Then it was back to fight with the Cancer. He has his bad days that he needs to rest and be hugged and supported also.

I tried my best to do this with all my strength that I can give him.

My way of dealing with his Cancer. Is reading a book it takes me get away from the Cancer for few hours. I color in coloring books. Yes, that is right I color in coloring books. I show will show them to him when they are done. He likes to see what I color and makes him forget about the Cancer for a bit.

We don't know what the future is to hold for us. He will continue that fight with the love and support of each other and also from our family. I hope to be writing again in five years that he is still on his battle with the Cancer.

It been a long road for now but they have been travel that road together. One day at time.

Being married for so long. You know what the other one is thinking. I don't know what life will be like without him. I know that I will miss him and know that I loved the most wonderful man a wife could have had. For now he continues to fight this Cancer with every ounce power he has in body. This is my special man I am so much in love with him and his courage.
