Well… I’ve made it a year since I was diagnosed. And a long year it’s been. I lost a couple organs… learned much more about the health care system then I ever planned to… repeatedly had toxic poisons injected into my body… and recently ran my first Hood To Coast relay!! Yes… as a celebration […]

Alright… I’m going to not spend the first paragraph of my post apologizing for not posting anything for the last 3 months. Let’s just accept the fact that I tend to put things off and that it probably isn’t a good idea to expect weekly updates from me. No worries… just the facts. And isn’t […]

*Sigh… Dang it… I did it again. I waited two months before I got back in here and updated things. It’s really getting inexcusable that I let this go so long. I mean… nobody is going to yell at me or get angry. C’mon… Who yells at the “cancer guy” about not updating his blog. […]

Alright… I’m back. I said I would update in the next couple of days… but in the end it was 7. My daughter would tell me that is “way more than a couple”… “way more than a few”… “and definitely closer to several”… but hey, what can I say. Last week I left everyone hanging […]

Well… Hello! Long time no talk! Nice to sit down and journal with you all again!! First and foremost… I am sooo sorry. I simply have no good excuses as to why it’s been 116 days since I posted an update to the site. I realize many have received updates from me, my wife or […]

Well I made it home!! Actually… I flew home two days ago and have been hiding out happily in my own home with my wife and daughter recovering quite well.   The travel day was pretty strenuous… I was very exhausted when we arrived home and very happy to crawl in to my own bed […]

Well… I made it through!! And yes… I should have posted an update earlier than today (Monday after my surgery on Thursday)… but I’ll be honest… I just wasn’t feeling up to it.  Lol.  That whole surgery thing really takes it out of ya… kind of leaves you feeling like a used up rag-doll.  Started […]

Well I must again apologize for the long delay in getting this information out.  Our family had a Disneyland trip planned (long before the cancer diagnosis) and I just didn’t have a lot of new information, or time to get something written.  And actually that’s probably not being very honest either… frankly… I just procrastinated […]

Let me begin by apologizing for the long overdue update.  I don’t have a good excuse… aside from work being quite busy, the new school year starting, our daughter’s 8th birthday, the usual upkeep of houses and of course this whole “cancer thing”… haha.  I last left off just coming back from San Diego visiting […]

So we spent the weekend discussing, discussing and discussing some more.  Monica and I both feel very comfortable with the idea of having the surgery in San Diego.  We both loved the team, the facility and that it’s not “too far” away.  And c’mon… It’s San Diego… isn’t everything better in San Diego? lol.  Anyway… […]
