So here I am, sitting in an apartment in Sydney. We weren’t supposed to be here until tomorrow and then only briefly as a stopover on the way to the US. But, things don’t always go according to plan. Things that you would never expect happen,
The last two and a half weeks have been somewhat of a blur, surrounded by a lot of uncertainty which extended to a few days earlier.
I know it is said that three degrees of separation applies to cancer, but really, both parents, a grandparent and an aunt? And that is just the direct blood relations.
So yes, I guess the last 2.5 weeks have been rough, since Mum’s apparently innocent eye problem resolved itself into a diagnosis of cancer. Tumours in both lungs, the liver, possible the kidney and two in the brain.
Currently, everything is a bit uncertain, but thanks to my cousin in Sydney and her links we have seen an excellent surgeon and one of the brain tumours has been successfully removed and Mum is recovering from the surgery well.
Where to from here? – We are still unsure, it is very much a day at a time at the moment.
Staying positive.
God is good – always. (Edit – and as I was reminded at church this morning, our source of strength)
