I’ll be forever grateful for my writing. I’m back at it while we wait for my husband’s scan to see if cancer treatment worked. We’re hopeful, but the wait is long and hard. Getting back to my novel helps me find relief. Onward we go. Keep writing fellow authors. Keep creating everyone 🩷.

He says it all…
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.
Will we listen to his words today?

In a world of pain brought on by greed for power… take a moment to breathe before you get back at the grind toward restoring goodness. Toward that end, here are some interesting critters on my window/screen :)

Waiting to be rescued is not a plan, so stop scanning the horizon for the cavalry. Get up and save yourself. You are the rescue party. You are the one you've been waiting for.

Last chemotherapy today!

Last chemotherapy today!
For the 1st time in 4 mths, which is a long time for me, I looked at my wip novel & felt excited by the prospect of writing again. That’s a good thing… counters the stressful life of my husband’s cancer. We’re 72% into his treatment. The last bits are hardest but the mountain peak is not far away.

Today, we hit number 22 of 35 radiation treatments. Next week, we successfully complete 5 of 6 chemo therapies (5 is the goal to reach max benefit). It’s grueling, and side effects keep on coming, but WE’VE GOT THIS! Husband’s motto? NED25. Ya, baby.

Weekly Update: I had a piece of bone removed from the exposed jaw inside my mouth today. I'm hoping not to repeat this experience but I think that is inevitable, really. If you can please consider sharing my story and help to support my GoFundMe then I'd be very grateful.

It’s tough when anxiety hits. I’m fine & then I’m swimming against a powerful current pushing me toward a thousand-foot waterfall. It’s fear, I guess… of my husband’s suffering & the uncertainty of our future. We are positive & hopeful. Still, anxiety lingers & makes everything unnervingly fragile.

As my husband enters his 2nd week of treatment, I’m mindful of my anxiety as his discomfort increases. There’s no training for this. It’s full on, and one must get “skilled at the job of cancer” as quickly as possible. All I know for sure is that our love is beautiful & strong. Peace to you all.

When I’m back writing my novel, it’ll be a sign things have settled in my husband’s cancer journey. He’ll still be on it, & I’ll still be right by his side, but maybe, now & again, it’ll be less hectic. Hard to know. He’s everything to me. My world. My love. Writing is my peace of mind and soul.

Well… for anyone out there who might hear this wee cry of…
hope…
we’re off to Toronto for the start of my husband’s two-month cancer treatment. Any good vibes or prayers from those so inclined, are welcome. We’ll take any love you toss our way.
May all of us know contentment today.

Lately, I’ve been quiet about all things writing. I’ll pick it up again. Writing is my way in life. When my husband’s cancer treatments begin (next week) and we’ve settled (as best as one can) into that challenging routine, I hope to get back to the final edits of my 2nd novel. Wishing you all well.

Am weary tonight. Sigh. Big day tomorrow. Radiation treatment planning for my husband. Feels a bit like free falling and hoping the parachute opens to facilitate a soft landing. But we’re hanging in there. Being. Feeling. Growing. Loving…

Having a spouse with cancer is like swimming against the current as the shore gets further & further away. You keep your eye on it vigilantly because if you look away, even for a split second, it might disappear altogether. It’s exhausting & terrifying but you persevere & you love like a superhero.

In prep for upcoming treatment, dental oncology done and, so far, conquered… we’re both still smiling! Onward we go. Oh, want a chuckle? Take a look at last night’s Airbnb toilet rule! We were there two nights, three days. We figured something must have been lost in translation…

Venturing into my husband’s recent cancer diagnosis, we are grateful for our 🇨🇦 medical system. We live in the area Dump wants to annex. It’s unsettling for sure, but as proud Canadians, we say ‘no way, buddy’ with the same verve and gusto we push back against cancer.

My time now is filled completely with navigating my husband’s cancer journey. I’m here for him 100%. The emotion is overwhelming, but inevitable. I’m not sure when I’ll get back to my writing. I hope when I do, it’s somehow comforting. Life changes so quickly.

Chemo-radiation daily for six weeks is the initial thought. Still more assessments to come. We’re going for a cure! Come on, my love, I’m by your side. You’ve got this. Life may have taken an unexpected turn, but we will adjust. One breath at a time.

Life almost feels normal. We are away on a 4-day cabin getaway planned long before my husband’s recent cancer diagnosis. It’s precious time together. Still, my mind gives into worry & fear about what lies ahead. Back I force it, to the present where we’re together & safe.

I’ve faced a few significant challenges in my life, but supporting my husband through his cancer diagnosis is the toughest of them all. The uncertainty is at times completely overwhelming. Sadness creeps in and then pounces. And all one can do, no matter how counter intuitive is to let go.
