I Have a Feeling

I have a feeling that my year is going to be very busy...

My brother in law, Jesse, Marianne's husband, has cancer again.

Jesse had a full 6 month petscan done the day before Thanksgiving and there was nothing.

When we had Christmas at my mom's on the 27th he brought down his snow blower and helped my brothers dig out the propane tank and driveway. The next day he told Marianne he thought he pulled a muscle in his neck.

Three days later Marianne could feel the lump. The following Sunday the lump was noticeable on his neck. Two days later on Tuesday he went back to the hospital and had another scan done and it showed the lump in his neck, one in his armpit (where he had it before) and one in his pelvic region. The doctor said they were all on the left side and indicated that this was a good thing.

Friday he went in for a biopsy and had the cancer confirmed. He went through his first round of chemo that afternoon and spent the weekend in the hospital.
He is scheduled to have his pic line put back in on Monday.

Last time he had chemo every three weeks and was able to go on with life like normal. This time they are treating it just a little bit more aggressively and he will spend 3 days in the hospital with every chemo treatment.

Tonight when you hug your family good night and say your prayers please remember to say one for my sweet sister and her little family. Pray for peace, strength and understanding. Peace because their lives have been thrown into turmoil, strength because they have 2 boys, 5 and 9, that are destructively naughty, understanding because they are questioning why right now and don't know the love of our Lord. May they learn to take peace from Him in their time of need and let Him carry them.

I will be driving back and forth quite a bit now and into the future. So my posting will be sporadic. And yes it is possible... I'm hoping to get my BlackBerry to be able to let me post but for right now it will take me to the posting page and let me write the post but then there is no publish button and the couple of times there has been a publish button it hasn't worked. I know I'm spoiled... Austin's works and mine doesn't and that is just not right.
