Bonus 146 | Rising Concerns

After our appointment on Monday, we expected that Hannah would continue with school since she was still not able to start chemo.  Instead, the ongoing side effects from the radiation began to unexpectedly intensify.  The morning nausea and near-constant headaches were increasing, preventing her from attending school.  This exacerbation caused us to question whether her issues were indeed still due to side effects of the radiation treatments ... or something else.  We contacted her oncologist at Children's and let him know what was going on, and he immediately put some steps into motion.

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.
