It's a bit of an uphill struggle right now, to be honest. John has started his chemotherapy, and while the nursing staff in the unit are just wonderful, the treatment itself is harsh - a strange paradox of killing and healing. The side effects are beginning to kick in and are pretty unpleasant for him. We'll get there, and of course we are trying to focus on the healing element ...
Thanks again for all you wishes and prayers for us. It seems such an inadequate phrase, but please know it comes from the heart. xx
My thoughts and prayers are with you both Jacqui. A difficult time for you all. Blessings xx

Never easy is chemotherapy. Keep your focus on the healing and I am sending you both love and healing from the middle of the Canadian prairies.
ReplyDeleteI'm at the western edge of the same prairies, Mrs. Mahogany.
