Sometimes things get worse

I have been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. Who is going to be here for him? Who will help him when he comes home? Who will care about him and his well being in that horrible place. The cancer is bad but not as hard as the worry for him. I need him here so very bad. I'm not sure how he will deal with this, he just lost his dad to cancer last year. I must make arrangements for a guardian for his inheritance, change all my beneficiaries, see about a automatic draft for his canteen and so much more. I know no one else is going to keep money on his phone, order his packages, call and check on him. The thought of dying without him near is more than I can bear. The thoughts of him being all alone in that horrible place is a living nightmare. When the doctors are talking to me, I'm thinking of him. I will be unable to visit for at least five weeks, not to mention he's six hours one way from me. What do I do with his stuff? Will anyone be there to pick him up when he comes home? How can I make it less hard for him. I'm not giving up yet but I need to try to get things in order just in case. I wish screaming and tears helped but it doesn't. Never forget to count your blessings as you descend into despair. He's still alive and can communicate. So many thoughts, concerns and feelings. I could deal with this cancer if I only knew he would be taken care of. I start chemo and radiation July 25th, major surgery in September if I live through the chemo/radiation. Y'all helped me so very much when he was taken away and I ask for your help now. Please pray for him and me too.

  • Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. Tomorrow is the beginning of five weeks chemo/radiation. I'm so scared for myself and so worried about him. It's very hard to be strong for​ both of us. The chaplain told him and let him call privately from his office. I hate he's having to go through the worry. Y'all keep praying for us.
  • This breaks my heart.  May the Lord wrap his arms around you and your son and keep you safe. Praying for healing for you.  

  • Hi Monica,

    I'll be lifting you and your son up in prayer. Keep the Faith, God is the ultimate physician.

    Hugs,
