Sorry I have not posted in a while, but I have been trying to figure out how to word things. Then I thought, that’s stupid, why don’t I do what I always do, just say it like it is.
Well, Sandi and I spent the day together on Tuesday. It was nice spending time with her, [...]

I have had many discussions with my oncologist over the last week or so. I have challenged him to be more aggressive with my treatment and he has responded. One item that he keeps coming back to is my pain. He is on a mission to rid me of pain and I appreciate that!

Or make my eyes too red
–Huey Lewis
Yep, in the great words of Anonymous, “Be careful what you [...]

Just a quick update today. Chemo hit me a little sideways last week, that’s why I have not posted in some time. Sorry about that.
Chemo was a little rougher this time around and I am not sure why. I was fighting nausea for a few days, but my meds helped me to combat that. My [...]

Today I had the honor of meeting a courageous young man, Tyler Alfriend. Tyler is battling Burkitt’s Lymphoma. He was not having the best day (compliments of his chemo), so I did not get a chance to talk with him much. I am definitely waiting for that opportunity. I did, however, [...]

Last Monday, I started chemo again. It was an ok week. I accidentally pulled out my needle from my port on Tuesday morning. I was putting my shoes on and somehow managed to step on my IV line and pull my stupid needle out. Then I tried a Rambo move and [...]

Well, got the results of my CT scan today. It was good news. The cancer is where we thought it would be. It is still in the abdominal cavity and has NOT spread to any major organ. This is great news and I thank you all for the prayers on this [...]
