In 2007, I began my original website, Sonshine's Haven. In 2007, it was turned into a blog and used to keep family updated on my first husband's fight with liver cancer. He passed away November of 2009. We were married for 34+ wonderful years and this journals some of that grief process I've gone through.

I have since remarried another widower, but Mike is missed dearly, and will always be a big part of my life.

At times, all of us will be called to act as witnesses to the suffering of another. We will be unable to affect the outcome physically. Words will fail us. Prayer will seem futile. And yet, the act of bearing witness to someone else's trials is a sacred sorrow that offers and astounding glimpse of eternal joy." by Ginger Garrett

"Being willing to stay with a loved one throughout their travail, can be difficult....YES! But offering yourselves as faithful companions on a dark and dreadful journey can be an unmeasured blessing." (paraphrased by me)

Treatment Thursday, May 22nd

(Mike and Drew Playing Thursday)

Mike is feeling pretty good as he heads into treatment week. Thursday he will get another round of chemotherapy. Please pray that he will continue to tolerate these treatments well.
Mike is the kind of person who rarely says anything about how he's feeling until it gets serious. I've noticed that he has been having some trouble with his feet falling asleep often, and he's already having joint pain in his hip, knees and lower back. I'm concerned the neuropathy might be affecting him more than he's letting on. He knows Dr. Sneed would probably back off the Taxol if the Neuropathy was getting too painful, and Mike wants to keep hitting this tumor with full force until it is gone.
Please pray for protection over Mike's body, especially his vital organs and his nerve endings, as he continues to receive these treatments. We need the chemo to destroy the cancer cells, but we pray it won't cause any further damage.
Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers.
"Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer." Romans 12:12
