While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss Bonus 134 | Learning to Wait Patiently
We had all thought, rather naively, I suppose, that once this second round of radiation treatments was completed, Hannah would have some time to enjoy just being a typical teenager for awhile before starting chemotherapy treatments. She was excited at the prospect of having a healthy immune system and no longer being isolated. She had not attended school since September, when we pulled her out of class to inform her that her cancer had returned, and she was anxious to get back. After all, if she was to achieve her goal to be the valedictorian of her senior class next year, she couldn't fall too far behind!
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.
