BEST URDU POETRY WALPAPERS QUOTES IMAGES

Today, a little reminder popped up on my Facebook- it's National Doctors' Day, and I couldn't let this day pass without celebrating some of the amazing doctors in our lives.  One of my favorite quotes reads: "Part of winning the battle against cancer is hope, faith, determination, strength, and keeping positive. The other part of winning the battle is a great medical team on your side . I learned early on that statistics are just numbers, and I'm more than a number. I'm a strong human being with inner strength and an iron-clad determination to fight to win. Statistics don't tell you about the human behind the fighter who possesses the will and strength to fight, win and overcome." Early on in Dad's cancer journey we knew that we found the perfect doctor for Dad- Dr. Erin Fleener. We were thrown into this world of cancer, and Dad's amazing Neurosurgeon, Dr. Bradley White, recommended Dr. Fleener as our Oncologist. We accepted, and the rest is hi...

When I think back to the fact that I've had this blog for over three years now, and we've been visiting the Cancer Clinic for almost 3.5 years (sometimes two-three times a month!) it's unreal to see how far we've come.  Dad's MRI appointment today went great! There are no signs of tumor or cancer in his MRI- Dad is a 3.5 YEAR Brain Cancer Survivor. Oh it feels pretty darn amazing to read that! Dr. Fleener talked about the statistics associated with Dad's cancer- sharing some new studies and the question we all have in the back of our head- what are the chances of this tumor coming back? Well, about 5-10% of patients survive past 3 years- yes, that statistic is FAR too low, so we've already beat the odds right there! And then studies rarely follow patients much longer than that, but it appears they stay fairly stable. So what are the chances Dad's tumor will return? That we don't know- but what we DO know, is that he's an incredible fighter who ha...

I know, I know...I've been slacking a bit on my blog updates. But like I always say- no news is typically good news! We've been busy, busy, busy! The Glenz family has been running around like crazy- from preparing for a new little on to join our family (Reid is already so very loved!), to weddings, and everything else in between, it's been a new normal for us- and a new normal we've been loving.  Dad has been feeling better than ever since stopping the chemotherapy and Avastin treatment, and we continue to pray he is able to stay off of these treatments for many more months to come. He's been able to mow grass more, stay up later, and not rely on so many naps during the day- all these little things have become so big to us.  We have another MRI coming up, and although Dad is not showing any symptoms of the tumor returning, we know all too well that this cancer CAN come back- and when it does CAN come back so quietly. We just hope, and pray (praying so hard!) that th...
