Husband battling cancer for the fourth time in 15 years. My husband is my rock, I have loved him for 51 years and we have been married 49 years. He has survived prostate cancer,with chemo for over a year, then radical surgery, followed by radiation treatments. He has had a double mastectomy. A cancerous growth outside of his testicals, and now a cancer in his right kidney which was removed September 28,2005. A year ago he had radiation treatment for a bump on his spine. He is a retired policeman and currently a junior high school substitute teacher. He has a family history of cancer, losing his two brothers and dad to this disease, yet he is upbeat, talkative, fun to be around and an inspiration to all who know him. Our surgeon had the skills required and we let God do the healing.
He doesn't know how to slow down or be self absorbed, I am the luckiest woman in the world because he loves me, inspires me, and encourages me in what ever is pecking on me at the moment. We believe that God is going to allow us to celebrate 50 years of marriage next year. Our relationship works because we never forgot how to play or pray. So many people prayed for him during his 8 hour surgery that all should have heard the prayers. We are so blessed and I'm not religious in the institutional sense, I am spiritual and a strong believer in God. I know and believe in miracles because I live with one daily. I just wanted to share some of my happiness today eventhough I'm ill myself but this too shall pass. Namaska,"The God in me salutes and honors the God in you."
