It has been a while since I posted anything and a few people who read this blog asked me to update. I didn't think anybody would still read since my throat cancer is still in remission. It has been so long I don't remember if I posted about the 60 more Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBOT) treatments were done. I got to keep my hood this time, another trophy. So, what is new?
Charlie is not doing well. His cancer was in his right lung and responded to radiation using the CyberKnife, but now it is coming back, and it has spread into his left lung. He always kept the yard immaculate and we wondered what was up, they are secretive. Tina had been mowing so far this year. Charlie is unable to mow. This stuff can come back or follow what they call the "Tree", head, throat, lungs, and his has done that.
As for me, this may be the first year I don't have a garden. I have developed Spinal Spondylosis and have some spurs pushing on the cord of nerves. They said it was from Rheumatoid Arthritis, I'm not sure I had recorded that. With blood thinners, I cannot have the spinal injections. Chiropractors haven't helped, and even the Doctor says not to have surgery. I use a TENS Unit to help with the pain. They think the Rheumatoid Arthritis is what the Lymes Disease left and grew into, while some say playing Superman at UPS for 25 years. Who knows...
I have remained fairly active, nothing like I once was but blessed to do what I can do. We still have cows but these days I get Mark to help with them. I bought a new Tractor, one with a cab and A/C as breathing is labored in the heat, oh, it also has heat for the winter, which seems to want to stay around. I have a handicapped plaque now, but I don't use it unless it is a very bad day, somebody else may need that spot worse than me most days.
For those still reading, if you want to contact me please look me up on Facebook, or feel free to call me.
For the ones new to this blog, it runs backward, but perhaps you need to hear this. Many ask if there is some secret to surviving this, and there is. First, some will no survive, that isn't our decision. Second, Some will and the biggest secret is one that isn't popular in the mainstream, God. I know that isn't popular to say these days. Many people ask me how I can do what I do, though it pales compared to what I use to do. My answer is always the same, it is not my power that I do what I can, it is of His power that I continue until one day I don't. When that day comes, everything will not end but be perfect, but that is His decision. Have faith. Third, this isn't a punishment, though it may seem so at times. This isn't a test. This is a chance to strengthen your faith and help others not by words but by actions.

Thank you for your update, Anthony. It's always great to read your entries, and I'm very happy to hear that you are still doing well. Not without challenges of course, but still doing well all things considered.
I'm sorry to hear about Charlie. I hope he finds comfort in the Lord, or at least in your story.
Your last paragraph summed up this blog perfectly. Wise words as always.
Thank you for writing and sharing. I just caught your story on hulu and I was happy to see that you are still posting. I believe we get messages when we least expect them and yet when we need them the most. So, thank you. Your good message is very much appreciated and all I can say is please keep writing.
Your story is really hurtful, anyway it's a good help for others about Ultrasound guided injection side effects and bad experience.
Regards

Well, this is funny but it just told me I had A message, I get here and I have 3. First off, thank you for the ones who are reading this blog, it is my hope that it helps those who need it and gives hope to the ones who need it. It is also my hope that it helps those who give the care to understand and see from the patients` perspective. I make no money from this, it is that I could not find current info on throat cancer and where I did it wasn't hopeful. This just seemed to be the place to use for lung cancer, heart attack, and back ailments too. Does that sound a tad like Job?
