Nice one Tom you have touched or opened the eyes of many people through your writings and even the way you carry yourself through the trama of your treatments
Experiencing my own health crisis in the last year, I found myself requesting my friends pray that I would not get discouraged instead of my healing. Trying not to drown in discouragement was almost a harder battle than my health problems.
I want to encourage you with this. Every time I prayed, the Lord would send me encouragement. Every single time. Sometimes, it was through people, but most of the time, it was through His Word. He spoke to me through the Psalms, (especially 31 and 39). Our feelings are roller coasters. There's no shame in slipping from being encouraged in the morning to down in the dumps by your afternoon nap. It just means you go back to God and you keep relying on Him to soothe your soul with the encouragement you need.
God will help you know which way to go in your treatment. He's had it all mapped out, even before you were born. PS. 32:8 says He'll instruct and teach you which way to go.
I don't know if you realize that your raw honesty is the gift you give to others. God has this, Tom. I know you know that. "Be still and know that I am God." Praying for you and Lisa.

It’s all completely understandable. You’re going through a lot. Give yourself some grace. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
And remember that even Jesus couldn’t sleep the night before and dreaded the cross.
None of us know how long we have. It’s all God’s — the timing, our lives, our direction.
There are times when I’m in the deepest levels of worship or wonder when I think, just take me now. Only to later think, but what about my wife?
I just say, be with God now, and you’ll be with God in the future. No change.
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
