Radiation begins -- Encouragement needed

From Ian: Morning from another rainy morning. We were up at 5.45 this morning so that Di could have some breakfast 2 hours before her chemo/radiation started. She then went back to bed and I started the housework, much to her annoyance. She told me to leave it but I had more energy then. Then at 8.15 we left for Mt.Pleasant for radiation -- trip was uneventful.
The weekend was fairly busy. We watched the movie 'Australia' on Friday night. We enjoyed and had a good discussion on it Saturday morning and I dreamt of the open plains of Africa and SUN. I am really struggling with trying to plan any future. The children have offered to move in to help in case Di gets bad but she won't accept that she has a bad cancer so I find it hard trying to talk about things. I am now using the tactic that should I be called from God's waiting room first how will she cope!!!
Well after the radiation we will go for her weekly blood tests. I hope all goes well in the next six weeks. Sorry I am not really in the correct mood today!!!!

    I love reading the daily's and am grateful for the heart on the sleeve .......God IS walking with you and asking you to step the steps one hour at a time.......

    Psalm 10:17 "You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry."

    Mega hugs to both of you
