Look not mournfully into the past.
It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to
meet the shadowy future, without fear.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...
Lindsay, I love how you seriously always have these posts at a perfect time for me! I have recently been feeling a bit down...moving away from my family and just end of summer and starting up a new year and kind of feeling at a bit of a stand still. ugh NO fun....but reading these quotes helps me to realize I need to KEEP MOVING forward!
