Fight is on

I probably should have labelled my blog, as I don't want to die soon.  Because sooner or later we all have to face the facts that we will die, and we have little control over when or how it happens.  As a friend told me, some of us just graduate earlier that others. 
As for me, I am sadly headed down hill and am in need of some prayers again.  The cancer in my liver has made my liver hard as a rock and very uncomfortable to bend over or lean forward.  I am on oxygen at night and when I exert myself.  I'm slowly loosing control over my life and am having to lean on loved ones for help.  If you have volunteered and I have yet to call on you, be patient, there will be plenty of help needed and I have no doubt that you love us. 
My tumor maker is up yet again and I have chosen to switch doctors to get another opinion, she's much more positive that my previous doctor and I hope she has some more tricks up her sleeve.  But in all honesty, there is little left for the doctors to do, it is now up to God.  Thanks for all your prayers, I'm sorry I can't answer every card, but know they are greatly appreciated.

Short ER visit

Sorry I've been MIA on facebook and church events.  I was admitted to the hospital on Friday night for a fever of 104, then they were concerned about my cardiac perfusion growing and possibly my liver hematoma growing. Turns out everything is stable for now but my liver hematoma is large and extremely painful- I'm hoping that means that the cancer there is dying and causing alot of inflammation and thereby causing the fevers.  Hared to know.  Thanks for all your calls and concerns.  Right now my biggest need will be getting rides during the day to appointments while I'm on certain drugs I can't drive  I have this week covered already thanks to family.

Bad news, I am sorry

Greetings friends and prayer warriors.  I have bad news and I want to get it out before you hear it second-hand.  The cancer has progressed into my liver and the doctors believe that if it doesn't respond to the new therapy we could be looking at months.  So....... that leaves me planning for the future, leaving Parker with lots of birthday cards, graduation cards, letters, videos, songs and so forth.  I am not scared, I have come to terms with my disease.  But whatever prayers you can muster, would be greatly appreciated.  We want to pray especially for Parker and Patrick.  And obviously we pray that we get more time than just a few months.  Feel free to call me at anytime to chat, I want to reach out to all those who have reached out to me and give them a big hug.  I still have time for lunches, coffee breaks and ice cream runs.  Plus I'm frequently at the hospital, so if you work there, we can always find time to meet up.  I am getting radiation to my knee for some met pain.  But other than that which will soon subside I am pain free and loving life.  So help me celebrate!
