I'm Back

My husband and I returned yesterday from our travels. It was good to be home.


Yesterday I had my CT scan done, and today my bloodwork. Next Tuesday I see my doctor. I will need to discuss with her my schedule of treatments and ask whether I can schedule another trip to Massachusetts. My mother's health is failing and she cannot be left alone. My brother and sister-in-law have done a tremendous job of looking after her and getting things in motion to provide care for her, but they need a break. Her doctors are recommending hospice care, which usually is ordered when there is nothing further that they can do and the prognosis is for six months or less to live.


Meanwhile, I need to get back on a regular schedule of treatments to keep this cancer at bay. I will have more information after my Tuesday appointment.


I am still waiting on the Lord, still trusting in His care. I just don't have any new insights to share. Maybe something will come to me after I get some rest and have more time to ponder God's word and His ways.

By the way, if you have a question, send it to me via email (for those of you who know me) or leave it in a comment. I do my best writing in response to something or someone.


"Wait on the Lord; be of good courage. And He shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say , on the Lord!" Psalm 27:14

Time out

I am leaving soon to go back to Massachusetts for my father's funeral and then on to a previously scheduled family vacation. When I return from vacation I will have a CT scan and soon after meet with my doctor to discuss my condition. I won't have anything to report until after the 20th. Check back with me then.
