This was not a work related project (boring). This was something very important to me. I created something. Now I have two more projects inContinue reading “March 3, 2021”

I don’t know if anyone reading this blog also has cancer but, if you’re out there, I’ve put together a list of questions for the surgeon. Some of the questions are general and others are specific to my situation but they may get you thinking about other/different questions to ask your doctor if you’re confrontingContinue reading “February 13, 2021”

The surgeon’s office called today to set up a time to talk. We’re meeting early March. I am afraid. It’s not having surgery – I’ve had three open surgeries – it’s THIS surgery. I need to wait, listen, ask my questions, evaluate. Sounds good – now if I could just do that. Spent the dayContinue reading “February 10, 2021”

When I moved in August, I donated or tossed tons of stuff (furniture, clothes, miscellaneous) because I wanted toContinue reading “January 19, 2021”

I am near the hospital – stopped for some coffee. My pre-op appointment for the stent surgery is in an hour. I have a little more clarity this morning. Here’s the situation: My tumor is in my pelvis. There is also a cyst (almost as large as the tumor and sits next to the tumor)Continue reading “January 5, 2021”

Hi. I am lying in bed thinking. I spoke with my doctor today about my scans. My tumor has shrunk significantly as have the lesions in my liver and lungs. The shrinkage is so significant that surgery is now a consideration. However, there are issues with having surgery. One of the issues is keeping meContinue reading “January 4, 2020”
