My heart hurts

I’m struggling with how to write this today, so I’ll just spit it out: My dad’s youngest brother has a brain tumor.

I’m angry. It’s too soon for me to be able to process it without being angry.

Uncle Brian is having his bone marrow tested today. My dad, my grandma, my aunt and another of my uncles are there at the hospital with him. These people have spent so much time in hospital waiting rooms this year.

In the best-case scenario, today’s test will tell us that the growth isn’t cancerous. Please pray for the best-case scenario.

  1. Aww, that’s really tragic. Hoping for the best case scenario and am even bold enough to hope for some sort of miracle for him and your family.

  2. I’m sorry, Nichole. I’m very, very sorry. My BFF from college was diagnosed with a brain tumor 12 years ago, and it hasn’t grown even a tiny smidge since then, so they just monitor it – here’s hoping for the same kind of thing for Uncle Brian.
