Time to call out the Big Guns.
Some of you have heard thru FReepmail that a week and a half ago a mass was found during a routine chest X-Ray. 2 days later they did a CT Scan. Yesterday I had a Biopsy done. I just got off the phone with my Doctor.
I have cancer.
Specifically, Adenocarcinoma. More tests need to be done to determine the stage and if it is just the one tumor or if it has spread.
Please include me in your Prayers that this can be treated.The most powerful weapon I can employ in this fight is Prayer.
Praying for you.
Prayers continue for you my FRiend.
Time just keeps on ticking away. Prayers you are doing ok.
I spoke with Petruchio on the phone for a bit a few days ago.
He sends his best and thanks you all for your thoughts and prayers and wishes each of you a Merry Christmas and a good New Year.
His last go round with chemo took its toll on him. Since October he’s been admitted to the hospital three times for a week stretch each time due to the treatments…so he’s been able to get online a very little and never felt up to posting. It did knock out a few of the tumors (leaving others smaller but still there) but now he has tumors of a different type of cancer growing in a different area. They have decided to discontinue his last couple of treatments, giving him time to regain his strength before they address these new tumors with a different form of chemo. Hopefully this will be easier on him and will knock out this new cancer growing. He expects to begin this next go round in January. Surgery is out of the question at this time due to his health. He is fighting a good fight and giving it his all.
Prayer up for our FRiend.
