Driving down S 9th Street in the capital city, 70° in February, windows down. A lot about today is unbelievable, especially the fact that after six months of chemo today we find out if the poison did its job.
In 4.4 miles we will pull into the parking lot at Cancer Partners of Nebraska, walk into their beautifully modern building, check in, and wait to meet with Luke’s oncologist. One of two things will happen after that – 1) Luke will be cancer free and we will discuss removing his port, future monitoring, and his return to work or 2) we will have to come up with a plan B.
Part of me wants to believe God gave us this stunning day filled with clear skies and sunshine as a good omen, but the true believer in me knows God’s beauty if everywhere all the time and can more often than not be used as a means of comfort during the hard times.
Luke is nervous, I know, but anyone else wouldn’t be able to see it. He’s currently singing along to Ella Langley, arm hanging out the driver’s side window, and commenting on the Lincoln traffic. My heart’s in my throat, I can’t get a deep breath, my stomach is rolling, and my fingers are trembling as I type this. Regardless of which outcome meets us today I know God’s got this, and we have to continue to trust in Him. So much easier said than done, but definitely easier than it used to be.
To be continued…..
