As it turned out, the operation was much more extensive than first planned, because the cancer had grown considerably in the few short months since the first surgery.
The prognosis is not good, and I am being given very little time.
I don't think I'll be writing much on here for the next while, because I'm feeling like I've been hit by a truck. Good luck and God bless you all. I'll try to write soon.
Oh I'm so sorry. I pray that your heart is filled with a peace that surpasses understanding as you navigate these next weeks and months. Much love being sent to you. <3

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, too. Your writing has been such a source of comfort and inspiration for me. You have touched many hearts here. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI am so deeply saddened. No one deserves such terrible news. I have been reading your blog for a year and a half, and it's brought me so much comfort and serenity in times when I've needed it. I wish I could give you a big hug. I'll say a prayer for you.
ReplyDeleteI have read your blog religiously for nearly three years and it has been a big part of my Alanon program to do so. I am the same age as you and recently divorced after 19 years of marriage to an alcoholic who stopped drinking 12 years into our marriage and went back to AA meetings over five years later, after I had been in Alanon nearly a year. I don't think I would have had the strength to leave this marriage without Alanon and your story. We can never know all God has in store for us, can we? I hope it is a source of comfort and strength for you to read the comments everyone has shared, as you have been and will always be a source of inspiration for me. I hope to be reading you blog many years from now when we are both old ladies! Sending love, light, hope and gratitude!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this news. Your words have brought me much comfort.

ReplyDeleteHello-
ReplyDeleteI am new to Alanon and I have just recently discovered your blog. I was crushed to have read about your prognosis with the cancer. I have just gone through a 3 year battle with Leukemia with my only brother. I was a 100% match for the bone marrow transplant- but we did not make it to the transplant because his heart was damaged by the chemo. I guess I just wanted to touch base with you at this time....Please know that I admire your strength and courage and I am sending prayers in your direction. You have contributed much to my personal well being since I have read your beautiful and very insightful words.
You have blessed my life.
Thank you for that and for now --- I am imagining you in the hand of God.
Peace be with you.
