That is how a dear friend said she felt about Spod and that is exactly how he projects himself. He is such a steady, dependable, solid man and to see him in pain and shrivelling away before our eyes is awful.
By now most of you know that he was diagnosed yesterday with advanced colon cancer. And as I have said before, if he wasn't such a stoic strong person, more of a complainer, we may have caught this sooner. Although I have been telling our doctor for a year and a half that something was wrong with him.
Today we will be meeting with our doctor to get referrals to the appropriate doctors over in Victoria. Spod and I had a long discussion yesterday and we have decided that we are going to make sure all the health care givers are upfront and honest with us. We want to know exactly where we stand with this. If he has a good chance to set the cancer back some then great, if not then we need to know.
Right now though something has to be done. He is in pain and can't eat. So today I am hoping we will be able to get him some pain relief if nothing else. First on the list is doing a biopsy. They need to know what kind of cancer they are dealing with. They will then plan whatever action will be necessary. He is absolutely determined to be here for another ten years!!
All of you people out there have been so supportive and amazing. We appreciate the support and love, believe me. I make sure Spod hears every word from everyone. He told me he feels like he should have been nicer in the past! LOL!! I totally agreed with him! Thank you. TTYL
