Finally an update

It has been one month since Chris has had surgery. He has been healing well and regaining his strength and energy.  He actually has gone back to work and has been traveling again to Headquarters.  It's been nice to have a slight glimpse of normal life again.  Today we met with the Oncologist to go over Chris' further treatment.  Chris will start chemo on Monday in pill form.  They are going to do some testing on his tumor they removed, to see what kind of chemo he should do -- so the pill form of chemo may change in January.  Tonight as I dropped him off at the airport we were listening to Christmas music.  The song that came on was "Breath of Heaven". In the song Mary says,  

Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Light up my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
CT and I looked at each other and he said," isn't it weird that the words to this song describe my emotions completely." What was interesting was it was completely how I was feeling too. I'm ready to get chemo started, to get it behind us, but at the same time I'm anxious for this part of it.... will he be strong enough to get through it or will I be strong enough to manage everything while he is going through it.  
Again thanks for everyones continued prayers, we really appreciate them.
