I’M NOT VERY GOOD AT THIS

In Glioblastoma Cancer, Inspiring & Encouraging • by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 30, 2025 • Leave a Comment

I’m not very good at being a downer. I do NOT like to complain a lot. I’m not very good at wallowing in my feelings for a long time. I mean, give me just a minute, but then… I’m a fixer. I’m a doer. I...

THE TEST RESULTS

So the test results… The abdominal CT yielded nothing alarming, thankfully. I asked for it, because I wanted to rule out any abscesses or other things that might have been causing me the pain I was having. When I attempted to stand yesterday, the pain...

Another update! Ms. A is in a room in the ICU right now. She woke up long enough to get a few sips of water and we got to love on her and talk to her just a little. Her being able to talk is...

Update! Mrs. Amanda is out of surgery and doing good according to her surgeon. He is pretty sure that he got all of the tumor. Now we wait, and pray, as they send the tumor off to pathology to see if it is cancerous or...

Opportunities, PTSD & Vikings: Day After Surgery

In Stories & Reflections • by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 11, 2021 • Leave a Comment

I remember thinking people would probably send carnations. We would probably receive a “Get Well Soon” flower delivery or two. Keith would wake up groggy and be in some pain. He would have sutures and a surgery wound to deal with, and he would be...

Opportunities, PTSD & Vikings: Surgery Eve
