He had a tumor in his abdomin. It spread to his lung and his liver. By the power and mercy of God he has gone through a year of chemo and 6 weeks of radiation and is cancer free. We still have four months to go. <BR/><BR/>I just wanted to let you know that I understand the pain. Even when we are home we feel the pain. It is very difficult to leave it behind. I find myself thinking about the other families and the kids who are having a rough time or who have been diagnosed terminal. It is hard to handle. We spent so much time in the hospital for the first 9 months. When the treatment slowed down a little I fell apart and really looked at what our "normal" is. It is devastating. It has taken a toll on Micah. He has gone through so much pain. It has been so tiring for our whole family. <BR/><BR/>But on the other hand, we have grown so much in the Lord and learned what is important. The clean floor and the playdate can wait. We learned to not take our time for granted. We have experienced pain that we didn't think we could endure, but also the Lord has richly blessed us.<BR/><BR/>Sorry this is so long, but when I read your last post I just had to comment. It's rare to find someone who can totally relate to all of the feelings. I know that you are not done your journey. The Lord is powerful and so good. We will pray for you and your family. If you ever want to email, please feel free. I will not be offended if you don't though. I am a stranger!
