Let me take a minute to exhale. Whew.
What a roller coaster ride of emotions over the past few weeks. Since the doctors started talking the 'C' word (which I really hate with a passion), the Hill family has been closer than ever. That' s one of the best things that has come out of dad's diagnosis with stage 4 kidney cancer. The closeness. The outpouring of emotions.
The part that stinks: the reality of being human and mortal. Nothing against being human...but the reality is that once you are born, there will be an end. What we do in the middle is all that matters.
Last week was a great week for dad. He stated that Tuesday and Wednesday were some of his best days in a long while. Radiation treatments ended. Then, came the experimental chemo pill (Sutent). He started taking that on Thursday (October 16).
There have been so many people praying for my dad. My family. We are surely feeling and experiencing the prayers. God is still good. He is being glorified through all of this...but it still hurts.
