A Little Better….

After lots of testing, worrying, drinking bitter cups of hospital coffee and looking desperately at the clock for a sign that time was actually moving forward – we got the news that my Dad’s cancer hasn’t spread. It is more than likely he will have to have surgery but that will be it.

It is an incredible relief.

I am frazzled.

Shell-shocked.

Glad all over.

Unable to believe it.

I can never quite accept good news for what it is when I get it.

But the sun is suddenly shining a little brighter and that is more than I expected today.

It’s all good.

  1. All I can say is, what a relief.

    My mom’s cancer was also like that (not prostate, of course), surgery and radiation, then the annual checks to make sure it hasn’t come back.

    It hasn’t.

    I hope it is the same for your dad.

  6. Your dad (actually, both your parents) are so lucky to have such a caring and forgiving daughter. The people who count are the people who are there in a crisis or when things get overwhelming, as you have done so again, for your dad.

    WHat a gem you are Sel.

    Many hugs, G

  12. Great stuff!

    You know what to do when you get good news like that?

    You’ve spent the last days thinking ‘I can’t go yet; I haven’t done/seen/been to … ‘ Then, when you hear all is well, you go out and do/see/go to … and give thanks that you still can!

  21. Fantastic news. Relief is so strange isn’t it? I often can’t believe it either. And other times I don’t realise how worried I was, how it had taken over my life, until the worry is removed.

    Glad about your news.

    Hope all is going well in your life.

    It has made my day that you commented. I didn’t realise how worried I was either. I couldn’t sleep and I broke out in a rash. Suddenly the rash is gone and I’m sleeping again. The power of the mind, eh? So great to hear from you, Gina XXX

    LISA:
    Thanks for your kind wishes and prayers. I need them right now!!!
