Love can make people do crazy things. Need I say more?
Dan and Dave have thrown down the gauntlet. Since mom is losing her hair rapidly, Dan and Dave are showing mom their support. I am certain that at least one of us needs to keep our hair in order to converse with medical professionals from time to time. So, I am making that sacrifice. :-)
Today was a hard day for mom. Even though she skipped Poosh, she was exhausted and nauseated for most of the day. She slept a lot and is just weary. She is 12 days into the 33 days of treatment (36% - more than 1/3). Things will most likely get harder from here. We need your prayers more than ever. Please, please remember to ask the Lord to bless mom with strength and comfort.
Tomorrow we have an appointment with the neurology team. Dr. Jensen (the surgeon), Dr. Glantz (the neuro-oncologist), and Dr. Hazard (the radiologist). We will be talking about why we have to find out about treatment options and alternatives on our own instead of them discussing the options with us. We are interested to know what their plan is and why they have chosen it. We want to discuss the pros and cons. We want data. It will be interesting to see if doctors have data. I’ve heard that they are very smart people generally. It should be an interesting meeting. [sorry for the cynicism – my frustration is showing]
Finally, a friend shared the following thought with me.
"Healing blessings come in many ways, each suited to our individual needs, as known to Him [the Lord] who loves us best. Sometimes a 'healing' cures our illness or lifts our burden. But sometimes we are 'healed' by being given strength or understanding or patience to bear the burdens placed upon us."
