I received several calls today, asking about how Marc's doctor appointment went today. Unlike previous appointments, when we learned critical information or had to make difficult choices, this appointment was just to touch base with his palliative care doctor. Many of you have asked what role the palliative care doctor plays. Basically, his role is to handle Marc's pain and help him achieve a level of comfort during the dying process. There are no more tests, no more waiting for results, no more treatments. This doctor works with Marc and with hospice to make him as comfortable as possible. I am sorry if many of you misunderstood the objective of the appointment today. We truly hope we didn't mislead anyone into thinking we are pursuing more options or treatments. Any cure for Marc's cancer from here on out will not rest in the hands of doctors, but in the Lord's.
Thank you all for continuing to care and to pray. We are blessed by every single one of you.
With love and gratitude....

Praying for all the family. Grief is close to God's heart, Jane. Do you not hear the Father weeping for your pain and loss? Yet we grieve as those who have hope! (Oh, the emptiness of having no hope!!) Cry often and cry hard; there will be time of rejoicing some day because we have that hope.
