I can talk to almost anyone about 'it' without shedding a tear, but last night we had the cancer lesson with the kids. Didn't take them long to ask the question, "but what if they can't stop it with chemotherapy?" Five year old with a fever, crying in my arms. Heart. Break.
The arrow on the left is pointing to it. To be clear, even if this turns out the be something else, my stage remains the same because of the lesion I just had removed. They may want to keep the tumor in there and monitor it while I do treatments to see if the cancer is responding. They may inject a vaccine inside the tumor while I'm on treatments to see if that helps (experimental). I'm saying, maybe it's a good thing I have it.
Let me know if I can help out with the boys!
ReplyDeleteAlisa,
ReplyDeleteYou and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for starting this blog again.
Tell Luke that I missed him in Primary yesterday and hope that he feels better. He's a good, sweet boy. It breaks my heart to think of you having to explain this to your kids. I know you have had a kajillion offers to help but let me add mine also-anything, anytime.
ReplyDeleteLove you Alisa. And we're praying for you and your family. I was thinking about you a few days ago because I was planning to send you my latest book recommendations. So sorry you are going through this!
