News ~

 


Not good news, but it could always be worse 😢.  About two months ago, my younger, local son J (Jason) went to the ER for what he believed was kidney stone pain.  He left a few days later with a testicular cancer diagnosis that had spread to a lymph node.  He has had surgery to remove a testicle from which he had a tough time recovering.  He had his first round of chemo this past week.  He will have five  days of chemo then two weeks off.  This will be repeated for three more rounds.  I think I was in denial until I dropped him off for chemo the other day . . . and it hit me like a ton of bricks and I just lost it.

Please keep him in your prayers.  A mama bear does not want her cub in pain.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
Lauren

I've been oblivious to blogging and IG for a while, and although I can't see well decided to check the current reading list. How upsetting for you and J and I am sending prayers for healing. I hope the treatments won't be as bad as expected and produce excellent results.
