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)

Mike's scan yesterday went as planned. No problems...other than both of us being simply tired from making the trip.

We won't receive any results most likely until next Thursday. If Dr. Sneed decided to order a PET scan, in the case that the tumor wasn't seen on the CT anymore, it's more likely he would see Mike first, then order the scan for another day.

The anxiety of waiting, and wondering, is already getting to Mike, so this is going to be a LONG week. I'm a little worried Mike is looking for the above results, and is already hoping not to have anymore chemotherapy. I'm just trusting God will give us the strength to deal with whatever outcome we receive.

I'm comforted, knowing so many of you are keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you. I will keep you updated as soon as we learn anything new.

"He gives power to the tired and worn out, and strength to the weak." Isaiah 40:29
