As most of you know, I originally began this journal as an outlet for myself. I wanted someplace I could go to, to write my thoughts, to have folks post comments, etc. It has been, and continues to be a special place for me...
I haven't posted a lot in the last few months....
Tonight I found a compelling need to come to my place, to jot down some thoughts, to share my heart, and my pain with the journal.
My partner has been fighting for her life since January 2007 when diagnosed with Stage IV Terminal Breast cancer. Sunday evening she had a seizure while in a restaurant, celebrating my birthday. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital and admitted. A scan of her head revealed some troubling areas.....to which further testing with contrast was done the next day. She has much swelling of the brain between hemispheres with a midline shift, and there are 3 new tumors. She will have 18 radiation treatments over the course of 3 and a half weeks. All chemo has been stopped, and will be til radiation is finished. These are her choices, and I support them wholeheartedly. I want her to have control over as much of her treatment modalities as possible.
Tonight I am numb from this latest diagnosis. I am too stunned to even think straight...but I wanted to write something.....and she also has double vision which may not clear up...she will lose her hair again, and it may be permanent...but that is small things compared to the big picture...
Please pray to whatever God you choose for her.....I would appreciate it so much....I am sleepy so will sign off for now...thanks anyone who reads this....:) Chatter
