· I have been trying to put into words the worry and fear I see in the eyes of those that care for me. Below is a message from a friend whose spouse was a cancer patient. I left it original except for her number and who it was from.
o I miss you guys too. I know that this is very scary for you both and Chemo will be hard. Don’t try to be the hero, just be. Get the rest you need and hang in there. It will not last forever even though it may seem too. Tell Big Daddy I know that he is feeling helpless and afraid too. It is hard being the spouse and not being able to just take your place. People tend to forget that the spouse is hurting too because we have to sit there and watch you go through this. He needs support too so tell him to call me anytime he wants a shoulder to cry on. He WON’T want to cry on yours because he won’t want to upset you. Just another point of view from the other side. Thought I would share. My number is ######so call me if you ever just want to get out, or talk, or cry, or whatever it takes. Steve's Dr. was Keller at St Francis. We went to MD Anderson to get a second opinion. They did a million tests and they told us to go home because he was in very good hands. Love you guys.
o Big Daddy is my ROCK! He has been so tough through what we have been through so far. I believe the worst is to come. We have said we can take care of each other. The week I start Chemo will be our 35th wedding anniversary. I am sad that I am sick. I am sad my family will see me at my weakest. I have been their ROCK! I only have one choice and that is to show them this Rock won’t roll.
o It is time to pull my boot straps up, put on my big girl panties and move on down the road!
