Well, last week my husband of 26 years had a test...only a test. And then, it was the real thing. A biopsy. And now..we interrupt this abundant life to bring you ...Cancer.
Okay, this is better, way cooler, more subtle, a real bloggers photo!
This is P., a very special man who is also our friend. He was with Mr. Pastor during the biopsy, taking care of him in a very tough situation. (He works in this practice) He is also the spouse of my good friend. The rest of the story is that a few months ago, my friend posted about P. He sees this work as a mission. You must read the post from Verbal One. P let me take this picture and immediately asked me if it was going on the web!! I said, "unless you tell me not to." He didn't so here is our big thank you for our friend and very capable professional.
Then there was this!!!
No lie! This was the newspaper looking up at me from the waiting room magazine table. I saw it and my camera just had to come out!!! My sentiments exactly!!! CANCER!!! What a CROCK!!
We will get through this with faith, the love and support of friends and with humor I hope!
Abundance is....having friends to hold your hand when you get an owie!
I'll be praying for you and your honey. So glad you have good friends, the Lord, and your blog to get you through this :0)
ReplyDeleteKeep the faith. My dad had prostate cancer a many years ago, but has made a complete recovery and lives a totally normal life. Don't know exactly what your hubbie is suffering from, but you guys will get through this.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great sense of humor! And cancer is such a total crock!
ReplyDeleteRology Sociates . . . I need to use that somewhere.
Big prayers out your way . . .
The attitude that both you and your husband have about the Big C is wonderful. Sending warm wishes for perfect healing your way.
ReplyDeleteLove you both and am totally learning so much from your grace, love and strength!
ReplyDeleteOf course you all have our prayers and friendship and love. Love the pics, love your heart, love your attitude toward all this. We are expecting a great report--
ReplyDeleteHugs to you both!
Blessings!
You are and will be in my thoughts and prayers. What a scary time for both of you. the progress sounds good though so hang in there.
ReplyDeleteMy aunt is currently battling breast cancer. It can be very scary.
You are in God hands, no matter what!
God is good all the time! Amen.
Owie is soooo the right word to use and what a crock!
ReplyDeletePlease keep us up to date as I am a great believer in the power of positive thinking and we your friends from all over the world will help you both and your family in your hour of need.
On a happier note, I feel very honoured to be featured in your 'three sites to see' post.
You are very kind and it is much appreciated.
Take care
Peggy
I'm sorry to hear the Big C has entered your life. Kick it's butt to the curb! Hope your husband's surgery goes well.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to meet you!
Cancer is always such a scary word! You and your husband will be in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI really believe that a positive attitude does help, and it definitely looks like you have that.
Was thinking about what a crock it is to have M diagnosed with this. I always feel very sad with this kind of news, but I am so very happy that M kept on top of it and lead us to a place where we can take care of it. I often think of special people as lights and M is a very bright light for a lot of people. Good wishes and blessings to you both.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is terrible news. I pray your husband and your whole family will be strong through his treatment and recovery.
ReplyDeleteYou two sound amazing. Great attitude and I have no doubt his healing will be quick because of how positive the two of you are (that mixed with faith), can't go wrong! To a quick recovery...!
ReplyDeleteCoach,
ReplyDeleteI didn't know your sweetie is a pastor. It doesn't matter, but you know I get to pigeonhole you now...'the pastor's wife.' Yup. There you go inside a box. Don't try sticking your foot outside it.
But wait! I JUST LOVE THAT YOU ARE A HARDCORE BLOGGER --- Look at you looking at everything through the eyes of a blogpost. You made me smile outloud when moments before I had gasped. But the breath came out - and it was healing. And you, my dear, and your sweet pastor-honey have all my prayers.
May God Bless and Use you, singing like birds in the rain,

Love, hugs, and prayers on, over, and around you both. Your attitude is inspiring, but I would not expect less from the likes of you.
ReplyDeleteHi. I'm new to your site, after finding you through Peg's Middle Age Ramblings. I noticed that you're 47.... I turn 47 this month. I'm a little behind you in the bearing fruit department though! My daughter is 12.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about the crock you're having to deal with. I loved your humor, but for me, worry still creeps in - even with faith. That's something I'm still trying to master! Giving up the worry and just being.
Take care! I'm looking forward to a longer visit on your site when all my papers have been graded.

I'm so sorry about this news. Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. I'm glad it was caught early.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to read this. We will be praying for you guys. I'm encouraged to read that it was caught early. I also love that you took the camera around with you...I've started doing that too, and get lots of laughs from my husband because of it.
ReplyDeleteWow - thanks for sharing such an intimate part of your lives. I will be praying for you guys. You're outlook is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry it has taken me this long to get around to reading this post. You and your husband will be in my prayers. Stay positive and hopeful!!!
ReplyDeletemy prayers are certainly with you both. my dad battled prostate cancer two years ago...and he just got his second set of all clear numbers on his last set of bloodwork. please know you are in my prayers...just said one for you!
ReplyDeletehow great that you took your camera. blogging is kind of a journey, and capturing the dialogue in digitally is part of the experience that makes recording memoir and life experience so rich. having said that, I have said a prayer for you and your husband and your daughters.
ReplyDeletePraying for you here . . . you have amazing faith and everything will be perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. I will put you in my prayers for sure. I am glad to see that your faith is holding strong. Keep your chin up and know that I am praying.
