On Friday the other shoe fell...
I will back up a bit. My amazing kind, gentle and sweet brother-in-law had an attack of appendicitis a while back. He had his appendix removed (laproscopic) and was back to work and feeling good. And then the shoe fell. You probably know that when anything is removed from your body it is sent for a biopsy just in case. Friday afternoon they got a call that there was cancer. WTF? That is my mom, my dad and my BIL in 13 months. My BIL is 33 years old! He and my sister have a 7 year old and an 18 month old. Right now we know nothing. He has to go for tests to see if the cancer is anywhere else.
I am tired.
This sucks big time.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it seems that too much happens at once. I was put into treatment for alcoholism(I'm not an alcoholic)for 6 months. He filed for divorce, took custody of the kids, threatened not to let me see them, and my mom died all in a space of 3 months. I actually felt I had nothing left to live for. Yet, no suicide( couldn't leave the kids with that). It took time to get better. I really feel for you and with you. I'll be thinking good thoughts at you. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that. I hope it all turns out well for your brother-in-law.
ReplyDeleteOh my. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteLike you, the cancer is in my family. Scary stuff.
Be brave and try not to put the donkey before the wagon.
Remember to breathe and take each day as it comes.
Big hugs to you.
Sending best wishes to your Dad and brother-in-law. Crappy news.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's crappy news all round. Take a real or metaphorical deep breath and tell your head to try not to worry until more is known. Yeah, yeah, impossible, I know - you love 'em and are worried. Cyber hug coming your way!
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for your Dad and BIL. The stress cancer brings is just too much. Sending our digital prayers and power of the paw (yes, you heard that right) to give you the much needed support.
ReplyDeleteHuggies and Cheese,
Haopee
That's awful. I will keep your family in my best thoughts.
ReplyDeleteHang in there - we had two family tragedies within a year of each other, and I know how exhausting that can be.
ReplyDeleteCrap. I'm so sorry. All the best to you and your family, Birdie.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear this Birdie. I hope that both of them can get the treatment that helps and be well again. It is so hard not to worry. Best that they find it and treat it. We have had some scares here this year in the wider family too. It feels very scary and I'm thinking of you and yours just now.xx
ReplyDeleteBTW sorry, I was not implying that your situations are going to end in tragedy! Just understand being worn out by tough stuff. Good thoughts are going to you.
ReplyDeleteHow awful. Just awful. Keeping you all in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteOh honey, I am so sorry. Thinking of your family and sending lots of healthy vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteBirdie, I'm wishing for the best -- that everything bad will go away. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
