I took this photo several years ago because the person and the ruined bike made such a striking visual of destruction and exhaustion. It captures how we've felt at times.
This has been a mentally exhausting summer of tests, scans, and the constant question of chemo or radiation and/or surgery. Two months ago, doctors found a rare cancer in my wife’s spine that required emergency surgery. Thank God, that surgery was successful.
Shortly afterward, they discovered a completely different rare cancer in her left lung and a lymph node. Yesterday we learned they need to remove half of her lung on September 14. That’s two rare cancers discovered and two major surgeries in three months.
This is actually her third bout. She had another rare cancer removed from her jaw in the late 1980s. A couple of AIs said the odds of this happening are like being hit by a meteor or winning the lottery several times over. Maybe there's an underlying genetic link, even though she has no family history of cancer? We are praying and hopeful everything goes well on the 14th and that she recovers quickly.
Have a great weekend!

Hope all goes well.
I am praying for you! As you know I'm going through end of life with my husband and it's very grueling and confusing and upsetting and sad. Without God I wouldn't make it. Thank you for your prayers too.
Mes pensées t'accompagnent. Je sais à quel point cette épreuve est difficile quand on accompagne. Je vous souhaite foi force et courage. Amitié. Arnaud
You have posted a sad photo with the exhausted man and the destroyed bicycle. These look like common problems of an urban life.
I can relate to that feeling well. I hope your wife is ok now, cancer is awful.
That's so stressful for you both. But it's great the spine surgery went well so fingers crossed the lung one also does the trick!
That’s an intriguing photo. I’m sad that you and your wife have been through so much. Several people close to me have survived cancer, and I know it is a difficult journey. Best of luck!
All meine Gedanken und guten Wünsche sind bei deiner Frau und dir!!
Thinking of you during this stressful and painful time. A very apt photo.
Prayers for your wife, Hope all well soon. Take care.
Great street click.
Praying that everythig goes well with your wife. Courage to both of you.
James, your wife has had her fair share of rare cancers over the years so I hope and pray that everything goes well on the 14 September and nothing else is found. I think that man needs to get more exercise on his bike but great shot. Thanks for hositng and commenting. I hope this week goes well with you and your wife.
All the best for your wife and you in these difficult times.
