I have moved into the final stages of breast cancer and right now it appears that chemo is no longer working. Joe and I have let our parents know this weekend and will start the process of letting our boys know this week so that they aren't surprised when the time comes. We do not know yet whether the timeline is weeks, months, how many months, etc. but will be talking to my doctor this week to learn more.
Joe and I ask that you pray for us as we take care of end of life arrangements. Please pray for our extended families, who all live out of state. Please pray that my pain level is reduced and that the swelling in my liver would go down as it is causing me much discomfort.
Please pray for good solutions to the boys' education during this time. I would like to be able to homeschool them as long as possible during this time period because we get to spend our days together, but a solution will need to be found for when I'm no longer able to manage the homeschooling.
This is the beginning of the end. I'm kind of numb right now.
