Professional patient
I did not get the good news that I was hoping for when I went to see the doctor today. Instead I walked away after learning that I now have bladder cancer, something I was completely unprepared for. I've been treated for Stage 4 breast cancer for 9-1/2 years, but this is an entirely new primary tumor, completely unrelated to that. I feel absolutely and totally doomed. Surgery, thank god it will be outpatient, is scheduled for next month.
In the meantime I went to my watercolor class this afternoon, tried to focus and keep things routine and normal. 'Twasn't easy! I was teary and distracted and cried all the way home. I am so not a happy camper this day.
Duh.

Barbara,
ReplyDeleteMany prayers and lots of love are headed to you. I wish I could do more. Thank you so much for sharing. Cancer really needs its butt kicked.
I'm sorry for your bad news. I will be praying for you as well. Keep on thinking positive; your little bird is so beautifully done and so peaceful. I'll pray for peace for you as you go through this.
ReplyDeleteBarbara;
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for this bad news you have endured. I pray that God is with you during this time and I thank God that you have your art to help you through it too. I know that it feels really bad right now but God is and will always be with you. I will continue to pray for you, may you feel His comfort and presence with you through all of this. Your watercolor is beautiful.
Hugs and blessings.
Oh, Barbara. I am sitting here, dumbfounded at the news. Know that I'm sending good thoughts your way. (I wish they could work some magic of their own.)
ReplyDeleteThank you all. I'm coping, sort of, and gathering information which makes it less daunting. I think it's all going to turn out OK, just rocked my little world. - Barbara
