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 started his oral chemo, and had his first treatment today. Only a CBC was taken today at the hospital, which didn't include the Alkaline Phosphatase reading. I guess the oncologist here didn't make that a deciding factor. One good thing was that Mike's White Blood Count returned to normal ranges.

Mike is sleeping off his Benadryl and Steroid medication. So far, so good. We'll keep everyone updated.
