Chemo #8

Hello all!
This is Amy again. Geoff had chemo today and is feeling pretty bad. Eight down, four to go. ONLY 4 MORE!!! It is 7pm now and he has been sleeping since about 3pm. I try to be quiet so he can rest. After chemo is done, we have radiation to do. I am so glad all this junk is almost over! I hate to see him go through misery. It’s hard for me to understand what he is going through, like with a cold, you can a least relate what the person with the cold is going through….but chemo, there’s no way to understand what that’s like unless of course you’ve gone through it yourself. I’ve taken on a new role these past few months of a becoming stronger for him. The friends and family closest to me know that I’m strong-willed by nature, but this requires so much more and I pray everyday that I’m fulfilling his needs.

I believe we are stronger together because of the obstacles we’ve endured. He is teaching me so many things about life and marriage. I thank God everyday for him. Sometimes I think to myself how blessed I am that girls in highschool or college didn’t snatch him while they could. I couldn’t imagine a better partner in life. Well, I think he’s rising from his slumber. Thanks again for all the prayers and support. We both love you all very much.

    Amy, they tried to snatch him, but he kept throwing things at them like books and stuff.

    Amy, we’re so proud of the way God is leading you in your support of Geoff. All of this was such an awful shock, coming so early in your marriage but I see spiritual maturity as well as an added closeness between you two. You ARE very strong willed and we’re so glad that you’re allowing God to mold this characteristic in you. We love you and Geoff so much — you were made for each other!!

    Amy,
    Geoff is so blessed to have such a Godly, strong, capable and compassionate wife! I am happy that you found eachother and that you are becoming stronger together through this awful ordeal. You are showing others a powerful example of not only trusting in God throught the tough times, but serving eachother and others to glorify God. You are both in my prayers.
