A daughter's cancer

Our children aren't supposed to get cancer. My daughter, a young wife and mother, is supposed to be enjoying the best times of her life. But she was recently hospitalized with thyroid cancer which spread to two lymph nodes. Her thyroid and two lymph nodes were removed. Seeing her in the Oncology Ward of the hospital broke my heart. 

Now she's going back to the hospital for an Iodine Radiation treatment that I can barely understand. She's a fighter. She always was. Now she's fighting to get rid of the cancer that has invaded her body. Her spirit is positive and she's ready to go. Anxious to get through this next step. Wanting it done and over. Me too.

The best times of her life are just ahead. Healthy. Strong. Happy.
