It was that time again–time to travel the 160 miles to the medical center for my husband’s cancer check-up with his oncologist/hematologist.
We left yesterday morning while it was still dark.
The darkness of uncertainty always covers us as we travel east for his appointments but the sun coming up yesterday was a reminder that God’s light would already be there to meet us when we got to the hospital.
Yesterday we received a great report from his doctor. Bob is still responding well to the chemo drug without side effects. He has another appointment in August and if the markers of the Leukemia in his blood reach a certain target level he will not need another bone marrow biopsy.
So we travel and trust and we know that no matter what the outcome will be in August the light of God’s presence always goes with us and before us.
We are never alone.
