I've been waiting for weeks to get some good news. I've been wishing that the doctors were ALL wrong. I've been hoping that somehow we had an incorrect diagnosis and that radiation/chemo would cure the cancer or at least slow it down.
It hasn't happened. The cancer has gotten worse and has continued to spread like wildfire through Daddy's body. It seems that the good news just won't be coming. Unless you think about Daddy going HOME to be with Jesus. Maybe that's the good news - for him. Definitely not for us.
That being said, I don't know how the next few days will play out. The doctors have said that Daddy won't be able to transition off the respirator to a trach as we had thought. I know the doctors aren't always correct but I just don't know what options we have.
So I will leave you with this:
Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
John 14:27
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in Thee.
Psalm 56:3

Dad was diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer on June 4th, 2009. Sadly, he lost the fight on August 28th, 2009. Less than three months and he's gone. Miss you, Daddy!

My heart is broken for all of you.
Tears are falling as I write this note.
Love, Joy
Tena and family- I am so sorry to hear this news. Even though we can rejoice in a heavenly healing to come and no more pain there, it doesn't make the agony of those still here any less. I will be praying for you in these tough days. God is still a God of miracles, and I will continue to believe for one here! Love you so much!
Thinking of you at this time...Maureen & Mick
