Top 50 Brain Cancer Blogs. 1/30/2017

Today I received an email letting me know that this little blog was ranked as one of the Top 50 Brain Cancer Blogs and Websites on the Web. The blogs are ranked based on Google reputation & Google search ranking, popularity on Facebook and other social media sites, quality and consistency of posts, and reviews. We actually came in at #33. Pretty darn amazing. 

I hope this little blog has helped others see that there can be hope found in some of the most difficult times, that throughout it all you can find strength and faith- and that no matter what, God is in fact oh so good. 

Mom came up with the idea of a blog from the countless phone calls, text messages, and emails we received after Dad's diagnosis. We were overwhelmed with so many emotions and wanted to make sure everyone knew exactly what was going on, so they knew exactly what to pray for. 

Well the blog that started by "helping everyone else know what was going on", became (in it's own little way) my therapy sessions. It has been a way to express every emotion that has consumed my body through our moments of triumph, and our moments of discouragement. 

Those facing the battle against brain cancer, my hope is that our little story shows that the mountain can in fact be moved- sometimes it just takes a little time, and a whole lotta faith! We've done just about every treatment available to Dad and we've received every type of results from an MRI- and each time it's one that we weren't exactly hoping for, we remind ourselves that it's just a bump in the road. 

Just the other day Mom said, there's a small percentage of people that beat this- and that's going to be us. And I couldn't agree more. Over 3 years later and Dad is doing so incredibly well. 

We've had over 36,000 views on this little blog, something I could have never imaged when Mom came up with the idea for the blog- but after 36,000 views I hope it's impacted just ONE brain cancer family. A family that might feel as though the fight ahead is too incredibly difficult, that the mountain is just far too big- to that family, I hope we've shown that it can be moved, with the help of a great doctor, amazing friends and family, and most importantly a whole lotta faith.

Thank you all for continuing to follow our story, to continue to ask about Dad and how he is feeling, and thank you all for helping us BTHO Brain Cancer!
