Moving Forward

This phrase came up after a conversation with my Dad, an update on Mom’s health after speaking with a doctor this afternoon.

My Mom has tumors in her brain as a result of stage 4 melanoma. Doctors discovered it in her body about 4 years ago. She had been in remission since my son had been born over 3 years ago, but in the last year tumors have reappeared in her brain.

The tumors in Mom’s brain are inoperable. We know this. We know that it was a miracle that she was cleared of cancer after being at stage 4. We know that God has the power to heal her. We also recognize that everyone’s time on earth must eventually end.

The past few months have been especially difficult, as there’s been almost a purgatory while waiting for what was next. There might be new treatment options, but we didn’t know them yet. There might be a chance that the tumors were dying (there was some necrosis in the last MRI), but couldn’t tell yet. Or the tumors could be growing still, perhaps explaining Mom’s weakness and fatigue. But no answers until the next MRI.

Instead of moving forward, we were forced to spin circles, unsure of which direction to look towards.

She and Dad were able to talk with the doctor about it today. By most considerations, it was bad news. The existing tumors have more than doubled in size. There are more tumors. The tumors will continue to grow.

But now we have information. Any information can influence movement forward. Now that we know where we are, we can pursue something. We are no longer spinning, waiting to stop. Instead we can move again, journey again, quest again.

Mom was the most active I’ve seen in her in months once we knew something. She played with my kids. Sorted the mail. Walked away from the television. Sat with us for dinner.

And there are still treatments. It likely won’t destroy the tumors. But could help manage them, with minimal side effects.

A blessing. Something to pursue. Something to get us out of the tailspin and begin on the adventure that awaits us.

Everyday is a miracle.
