ORIGINAL: Lucylastic my hubbby has just been diagnosed with leukemia, and will be in over christmas for chemo. im a bit lost right now Oh honey, I'm so sorry! Big hugs to you both. If you need an ear or a shoulder, I'm here. You may have heard this already, but it could be helpful to ask the oncologist about infusing Zofran or another anti-nausea medication at the start of each treatment. They did that for me, and I never got sick. Also, you both may need to be patient with chemo brain--that combination of forgetfulness and stupid slips that have a maddening way of coming at the worst possible time. Depending on the logistics of treatment, you may find https://www.caringbridge.org/ a helpful resource. You can set up a calendar specifying when you need help with rides/food/whatever and invite friends--who are likely all asking "What can I do?"--to pitch in when they can. Not sure if you're a God-talking type, but just in case . . . Strengthen Lucy's beloved husband, Great Healer, to do what he has to do and bear what he has to bear; that, accepting your healing gifts through the skill of doctors, nurses, and other helpers, he may be restored to usefulness in your world with a joyous and thankful heart. So may it be. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, adapted)
