Mike Continues Working Despite Cancer



Mike had told my husband last week that this chemotherapy he is getting really knocked him for a loop compared to what he had the other year with his esophageal cancer. I guess because the cancer has metastasized and has spread the chemotherapy is harsher.


Mike is still plugging along though and trying to work despite how bad I know he must feel. There is one situation where you don't know what to do. On one hand, continuing to work and not giving in to the cancer can be a good thing because if he was at home all day he would be thinking about everything that is wrong with him. On the other hand, by continuing to push his body when it is already so weak is doing nothing to help his immune system and to build his body back up. He really needs lots of rest right now to help reserve his strength.


Judy wants him to cut back his hours so I hope he does. Maybe if he can find that happy medium that would help some.


Keep praying!
