Listen Later

Today, Natalie shares entry 11 from May 31, 2022, titled "Day One of Treatment." It was a long day for her, starting at 7 am with chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Despite the physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion, Natalie made it through with gratitude and support from everyone around her. She completed the first of 15 radiation treatments and the first of four chemotherapy days.

Natalie felt alone and overwhelmed during this journey, asking God, "Why me?" However, she realized she was exactly where she needed to be and found comfort in her faith. Jason's resilience and positive attitude helped put things into perspective. As they went through this process, they experienced kindness and generosity from everyone they met.

Chemo sessions included hydration, cisplatin administration, and further hydration to protect Jason's kidneys. Looking back, Natalie now understands that they were exactly where they were meant to be, leading her to share their story with all of you. Remember, our struggles always have a purpose, and we must keep moving forward. Stay tuned for Natalie's next update tomorrow.
