Have you ever been to a swap meet? Or maybe you have seen the Phineas and Ferb episode where Candace spends the whole day trading things until she gets the item she wants.
Some days cancer treatment feels like a swap meet.
We want our kids to survive cancer so lets trade their hearing, vision, motor function and who knows what else as a side effects of the drugs.
Side effects that don’t stop when you are done with that drug. I learned today that one of the drugs Hudson is finished with will continue to take a hit to his hearing for at least 2 years, maybe even a slow decline his whole life.
All of which is incredibly unfair and heart breaking to think about.
However God never promised an easy or fair life but that he would use all things together to work for our good. Even if we can’t see the good (thank you Nicole for your words ☺️)
“I also saw other things in this life that were not fair. The fastest runner does not always win the race; the strongest soldier does not always win the battle; wise people don’t always get the food; smart people don’t always get the wealth; educated people don’t always get the praise they deserve. When the time comes, bad things can happen to anyone!”
Ecclesiastes 9:11 ERV
This is not a translation I usually use but easiest to understand for this verse.
It talks about how just because you are something doesn’t mean you get something because of it and how bad things happen to anyone and at anytime
