GOOD MORNING from The Caring Bridge for John Kosmoski

I set up a website at 
for 

By clicking on the link above or
it will take you right to the website.

The Caring Bridge asked for my contact list.
I gave them the whole thing so if you
get more than one notice
please don't send me hate mail.
You know me and 
TECHY stuff!
I barely know what I am doing
all the way around -life included.

Today is the first day of 
John's treatment.
Four hours of strong chemo
AND
radiation.

I will keep you all posted.
Thank you so much for your 
prayers and support.

I will try to keep a daily post 
(or every other day)
on 
You can catch up there whenever you have time.
I think you have to sign in to 
access the site but it is safe to do that.

I have followed several
"journeys" that way.

We are off and running!
Wish us luck!

ps----MyHero is still 
"napping" with his little buddy
but I will haul him out of here soon!

    Prayers for John and for you. We do not understand the trials in life that come our way. So don't try to figure it out. Just trust Him. Let Him carry this burden for you. His strength is made perfect in OUR WEAKNESS!!! So be still and know that He is God. Sending you a hug this morning with my prayers.

    I am praying for you both. My husband had base of tongue cancer, the feeding tube etc. Treatment for Head and neck cancer is brutal and scary. The Cancer Society has a network of wonderful people called Cancer Survivors Network. They are grouped by type of cancer. The Head and neck cancer group is very active and knowledgeable. I would not have made it through my husbands treatment without them. Praying for you both.
