While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss Bonus 107 | A Little More Time
It was a bit surreal to find ourselves returning to CARTI just five months after Hannah's initial round of radiation treatments were completed, preparing to start all over again. While I was sitting with Hannah as they created a new mask for her, Brad talked privately with her radiation oncologist. The doctor explained to him that we should not view these new radiation treatments as a potential "cure", but that they might give Hannah a little more time. Up to that point, none of these medical people had talked to us in terms of "time." Our understanding had always been that we were working toward a cure. Very gradually, we were beginning to come to an awareness that all our efforts were simply to give her "a little more time."
Thank you for joining me for another bonus episode of the While We're Waiting podcast in this year-long series in which I share our family’s experiences as our teenage daughter Hannah battled glioblastoma brain cancer from February 2008 through February 2009. My desire is to process through the events of those twelve months with the perspective that 16 years has brought … and point listeners to hope in Jesus along the way.
