Hey y’all this is a quick update from the front lines of my wife fighting cancer (for the second time).
Many of you have been asking about her, thank you! We are so wonderfully blessed by your prayers, blessings, well wishes, and positive thoughts!
She has finished the first round of treatments, and the mass in her chest (inside at the rib cage not on her chest) has become smaller! Yay!
That’s the good news. But something is still there, and only a special scan will tell us if there is still cancer.
We have to wait though because the treatments she received are still working to fight this menace.
So how do we stay very much in love with such a big challenge? To be honest it’s easy, but we do make more of an effort to be with each other. After all, in many ways love is a choice.
We talk a lot more, about everything. And sometimes we hold each other and don’t say anything at all.
Our hearts are warm on cold nights.
Just being in the moment and being together has become more valuable than ever.
My wife and I could probably write a book on love over 50, and in overcoming health issues. But that would be another post, and probably another website all together. 🙂
Thank you again! We wish you peace.

Thank you Miriam for your beautiful comments and well wishes! We are grateful. Yes love can bring so much healing. Peace to you and great blessings.
Prayers for you both, Nico. I’ve been too busy to follow closely of late, but wanted to tell you I saw this and am sending my best wishes. My Dad overcame cancer for the second time this past winter—it can be done! He’s done a lot of work to let go of past hurts, forgive, rest, eat simply and take it slow. The book “Anti-Cancer: A New Way of Life” helped him as well.
Thank you Anna! It’s good to hear from you, and your comments are a wonderful blessing. Praise God that your Dad is doing better! I will check out that book. I hope the rest of your family is doing well. Peace and wonderful blessings to you and your family.
Thanks, Nico! 🙂
Sending so much love to you both! Your bond and strength in adversity is inspiring.
You are both in my thoughts everyday!
