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
Just me rambling about life- fitness, faith, food, widowhood, step-momming...and other random things
I just found your blog and find it really inspiring as a former out of shape woman who is now in love with Crossfit and running. I want to be lean and strong, I don't care about the size of my jeans anymore. This post means a lot to me because I lost my dad about 9 months ago. Some days are great and a memory of him brings a smile to my face. Other days are horrible and thinking of him makes my heart ache and I can't stop the tears. I know it will get better, but like you said, there's a little piece of me gone forever. Or at least until I see him again one day.
ReplyDeleteHi Megan! Thanks so much for commenting. I'm so sorry about your dad. I know it's hard. I think about mine all the time and miss him so much, but I don't know what I would do without the hope that I will someday see him again! I can rest in that.
