Cancer Update

Sad news is that it is the beginning of the end,the cancer has advanced and is now blocking my colon and causing some pain and my right kidney is about 8 percent working now due to long term blockage that wasn't caught when I was in Korea.

No one knows how much longer I have. I am in a new apartment and being treated by hospice, home nurses.. 

It started a few weeks ago when I ate some nuts, these really caused me a lot of pain the next day and I was driven to the VA Dallas ER and when the pet scan was completed, it was determined that I hate colon blockage and that my right kidney is almost non functional.

I spent about 2 weeks in the VA Hospital in Dallas and they told me a few things...

with this form of colon cancer, chemotherapy could actually make it worse and after my reaction to it in Korea, I am not doing anymore chemo.

they can not do anymore surgeries on me due to the fact that they cant cure the cancer at all and they fear that after all of the surgeries that I've had that this could actually make it all worse with more surgeries.

I have moved to my own apartment in Sherman so I can get hospice care and the nurses can take their time with me. I sure want a dog but with the illness that is no longer a viable option anymore.

I have told my church and they will keep praying for me and help when they can.

My spirit is high and the dr's commented that I am not negative with my feeling for this horrid cancer that I have.

I have tried to find my daughter online so I could tell her the news but I never could so I emailed her the story of what's going on.

Please keep me in your prayers and if anyone has an extra washing machine, I sure would like to have one at my new place.

Please remember...But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us And the greatest is love

I am not angry with all that has come and all that will come.
