My husband Brian has been busy working his rear off; I call him the energizer bunny. He works two jobs and plays his drums in a local band on some weekends. Playing the drums is his hobby now and he enjoys being able to entertain, its makes him happy and gives him time with his friends and a break from the everyday stuff.
I have to say I was quite worried about him when I was first diagnosed; he was so pulled between making sure he worked enough hours to make ends meet and cover the medical bills. At the same time he worked hard to try and be with me for my surgeries and major treatments. In 2010 Brian lost both of his parents within a six week period and then had his wife diagnosed with breast cancer all in the same year.
Today he took me to an appointment in downtown Seattle; I used to do sales calls all over Seattle but am just not sure enough of myself just yet. I’m thankful for his caring boss who allows him to take the time to be with me for the hard stuff.
I have finished 10 radiation treatments so far and have had some reaction, the first week my skin looked a little pink. The second week I looked a little more like I had a sunburn and after yesterdays treatment my skin has began to blister. They are a little taken back by my reactions so soon, but that’s just me, always have to do it my way. I never know exactly what to expect next but I’m thankful for my husband and I think I’ll keep him.
