Cancer Free for Three Years Now

Husband went in for another of his six month checkups at the cancer hospital yesterday. We always make a day of it and go to The Big City together, though he could very well get himself there on his own. It's just more fun together.

After long waits in the crowded and busy clinic, results were in and they were perfect. Still cancer-free after three years.

Sometimes I forget he had leukemia. The horror of finding out he had cancer and the aftermath of it all were more stressful than anything I've ever dealt with before, but it was over within a very short amount of time. We didn't have to go through months and months of chemo and radiation, worrying that the cancer would not respond or would return more aggressively than before. Husband felt awful and it was very hard, but it was lived through fairly quickly.

We're blessed. Truly blessed. We're still shelling out for those medical bills, but it's a small price to pay in the big scheme of things. Every six months, I feel again just how blessed we are.

Continued prayers for more of the same good news!
