So very sorry. My husband and I are celebrating our 43rd this year. He is battling Stage 4 lung cancer. We went to church this afternoon for a Christmas service and spending tomorrow with our younger son and his family. Praying it’s not our last Christmas with my husband.
Prayers up for your husband, and for you.
My wife has been battling multiple myeloma for 6 years, and earlier this year I was so afraid it was the end. I prayed hard that she'd live to see our 10th anniversary just a few days ago, and she did, and she's still with me on this Christmas. For that I am so grateful.
But the chances of another Christmas together are frankly pretty slim. I'm praying every day that she hangs in there, but at the same time, the side-effects of this latest last-chance chemo regimen have been horrific. She declined to continue it a few weeks ago, and they're just going to monitor the blood test numbers to see how the cancer progresses. There's not much else to do but pray, so pray is what I do.
Congrats on your 43rd, and may God grant you and your husband more to come. God Bless and Merry Christmas.
