Life and its obstacles
Hello my dear readers! 🙂
I’m really sorry you haven’t heard from me in so long. This isn’t a story update.
I want to let you know what’s going on in my life right now because I can imagine you are already wondering.
By this time I wanted to be in the middle of writing and updating GBS but life got in the way and it really sucks at the moment. I have a feeling my family is cursed or something.
Everything was okay in January, just a lot of birthdays and traveling, but around two weeks ago my aunt finally lost her battle with cancer. We all knew it would happen eventually but not so soon. A few days later we found out that my husband might have cancer as well. He had surgery last week and they had to remove the affected testicle. Yesterday we found out that it was a malignant tumor but it hasn’t spread, thank god for small favors. Though he might still need chemotherapy, just to be sure. His chances of recovery are very high but when the doc told us it was like we were hit on the head with a baseball bat. Everything happened so fast.
I know it could be a lot worse and a lot of people dealt with much worse things but it’s still a shock when you’re affected directly. And in the back of my mind I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.
So this is where I stand at the moment. I’m really sorry I leave you hanging but my family takes priority. I’m totally out of the loop of what’s going on in the SVM/TB community as well but I hope I will get my ass back in gear in the next two months and maybe my muse gets some inspiration in the meantime. So keep your fingers crossed 😉

It is so great to hear from you.
I do say you have been missed by at least me.
I extend sympathy to what you are going through and have been going through.
For the past two years my mom has been dealing with breast cancer, so know that there are those of us who understand completely what is going on.
I will be sure to keep you and your husband in my positive thoughts and hope for a speedy recovery.

Sorry to read about your recent troubles. Glad to hear positive news for your husband. Cancer is a bitch. In a completely random tangent, I was glad to see your post as I have been wanting to reread GBS but forgot the name & author. I could only remember the banner! My mind has been pondering the story, so I’m happy to now have it saved in my huge reading list!

I just reread the first three sentences and realized it may sound a bit terse. Any losses are hard, expected or not. I wish your husband a speedy and easy recovery. Cancer is a bitch because it is. My cousin died a year ago today from a 10 yr battle with ovarian cancer. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know/love someone who has been affected/effected by it’s stupid existence. Plus, it’s my bedtime. 🙂 So to some up: sympathy and well wishes sent in your general direction and I look forward to a story update in the future!

Thank you for the news, even though it is not the best. My heart goes out to you and I hope that you pass through these difficult days finding greater love, strength and peace. All the very best. xx

Bless you and your husband! As a cancer survivor I can tell you that sometimes the going gets rough. And he may still have a rough go of it with Chemo and Radiation. Seems like the surgery was the easiest part of my treatment. But once you get through it? You’ll feel like your life has been renewed –that everything seems fresh and clean and you want to experience everything in life you may have ignored. So…while it’s a bit dark now, it does Not have to be a death sentence. Let the experience draw you closer together!

You take care of you and your family, that should always come first. You have been missed and in our thoughts and will stay there as we send all the positive thoughts we can your way. I am so sorry for you loss and hope with all of my heart that your husband responds well to the treatments. Keep us updated on how you are doing, we won’t mind one little bit that there is no chapter attached, we would rather know how you and your family are doing and can wait for your life to get to a better place for getting our Eric/Sookie fix. Take care of yourself too, I know you will be focused on looking after your hubby, but don’t neglect you while you are doing that.

I agree with Duckbutt60. I’m so sorry for the loss of your aunt. It hurts to lose a loved one no matter how it happens. Being diagnosed with cancer can really wreck your world if you let it. This past year was my year of dealing with breast cancer, so I have a pretty good idea of what you’re going through. It sounds like chemotherapy might be insurance against a recurrence. It’s miserable, but it does end. I wish you and your husband the best and you are in my prayers. The writing can wait. If you feel up to it, fine. If not, that’s ok, too.

I’m sorry for all the awful and scary things you’re going through! I lost my dad to cancer several years ago and one of my best friends is currently battling breast cancer, so I can certainly understand. My prayers are with you and your family, and I hope the prognosis for your husband continues to be positive.

Sorry to hear what a difficult time you are having. Gather and treasure your family around you. Enjoy them all as you and your husband hopefully both recover. Be positive and do something that YOU enjoy each day to keep the spirits up. Thinking of you all.
