UGH! UGH! UGH! Sometimes this journey my husband (and the rest of us) have been on for the last year has been loving, graceful, complicated and confusing. So many emotions and so many ups and downs.
Today Clark started radiation and to be exact, aggressive radiation. This was after the radiation doctor told Clark that he would have to have the aggressive treatment since Clark's cancer was considered aggressive.
The end date would be the first week of December.
So, I ask, if the doctors found Clark's cancer to be so aggressive why was radiation delayed? Clark told me today that he thinks his oncologist said that radiation should have started about a month after chemo. It has now been almost 2 months since his chemo was finished.
This has a test of faith for me. I have nothing left but to pray to God that Clark is healed of this disease. I also pray that for those in the medical field who have treated Clark with a nonchalant attitude.
You see when Clark came home today it was heart breaking. The radiation doctor said it was aggressive and yet the treatment was delayed due to paperwork, no appointments available, etc.
I will pray with a peaceful readiness that the aggressive radiation Clark is now getting will combat the bold Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma that Clark has.
I will pray as well Kathleen. God Bless all three of you.
ReplyDeleteKathleen and Clark, we are so sorry to hear that Clark is going to have to go through the radiation. It is even more disturbing that the treatment should have been started earlier. We will be praying for you. We love you and hope you can find peace through all of this.
