So by now you know that both mom and pop Longo have been diagnosed with cancer. And as I said before, no matter how bad you think you have it, there is always a blessing that can be found …you just have to look and see it for what it truly is.
So what was our blessing, you ask?
My dad’s oncologist wanted to pull out all the stops to save his eye, so he opted for radiation pellets. Bascially, he had surgery were they implanted encspualted, radioactive particules, incased in lead and gold behind his eye and over the tumor.
Again, while no one likes to see their parent suffer, while painful, my dad’s course of treatment allowed him to have day surgery, come home and rest for seven days, then return to the hospital to have the pellets removed.
We were spared having two parents undergoing chemo. That’s the blessing.
Because my dad’s treatment was not as time conusiming as my moms, we were able to divide, conquer and keep everyone going in their pre-determined direction.
My dad is currently in a holding pattern. After they removed the pellets, his follow-up showed that he had no significant loss of vision and as far as the tumor goes, we won’t know anything for a few months until he receives his MRI.
So please feel free to pray that we get some good news in that area in a few months.
