What I Hate Most About Cancer:
Can't enjoy my wine man! The stress & distress it brings to the ones I love.

What I Have Learned From Cancer:
We must live & love every day as fully as we are allowed. And, look forward because that's the only direction you can go.

Things My Supporters Can Do To Help:
We will make an arrangement with a local colon cancer support group.

Cancer Symptoms:

Multiple flushes of bloody stool, spontaneous initiation & resolution, over four hours in mid-December 2004. Analyzed by a PA to probably be a manifestation of diverticulitis shown on sigmoidoscopy 2 yrs before. Six weeks later further flushings resulted in ER admission to Holy Cross Hospital January 31, 2005.

Surgery Description, Dates & Side Effects:

Blood transfusion immediately, multiple tests, & scheduled colonoscopy resulted in surgery Feb 5, 2005, showing the presence of a tumor just above the appendix that had to be removed. A 2 foot long section of the colon was removed & the ends reattached. Biopsy showed stage 4 disease with metastasis to the peritoneum.

Here we are at the Casey house (right after I had flown in to Maryland, March 15th) which is part of hospice. Daddy Lane was getting his medications under control before returning home. Someone asked about a photo of me, so there I am!
