January 1 2013

Good morning and welcome to 2013. I would like to wish everyone peace, health, love and happiness in this coming new year. I ended my 2012 with a bang of sorts last night. Was just on our way out to visit my best friend and his lovely wife in Tillsonburg when my leg decided to give away on the last front step leaving the house. Needless to say I scraped my head up pretty good as well as my hand and sadly we did not venture any further. Had to call my Sister Shirley and her husband to get me off the ground. Oh how I love this life of mine. I'm a little sore this morning but I've had worse I guess.

Probably my own fault because I have not posted much in a while but I just wanted to clarify a couple of things regarding the Avastin. After completing three rounds of the Avastin it was shown on my Tumour that it was increasing in size with the Avastin having little to no affect on it. Therefore in the interest of my own best health, it was decided to stop treatment immediately because as we all know, these treatments are very hard on your body as well and why put your body through more needless torture if it's not required. Over the next while I will be forwarding all my documentation including MRIs and reports to some hospitals around the country to see if they will review my case for a more available options other than what the London regional cancer clinic will provide at this point. The chemotherapy I'm currently on only has a success rate of 20 to 30% with brain cancer. So we will try this for 30 days and review at that point. Personally I do not feel it is working judging by the massive headaches I still encounter on a daily basis.

My left side is deteriorating quite badly lately to the point where my walk consists of a shuffle and my left arm is still totally useless. It kills me having to accept help from family and friends now but I know it needs to be done. I cannot thank my family and friends enough for what you have done lately to help me over this hurdle. And to my daughter Faith, you are a rock for me. Your actions last night helping me out proved it yet again that I've helped to raise an amazing daughter. I love you to the Moon.

Please don't be offended by my extremely slow replies to everyone lately.  Trust me, I read each and every post and comment on Facebook and emails. You all are part of my inspiration to keep his fight going. My spoons have just been in short supply lately.

In closing, please say a couple of prayers to what ever you believe in that my health at least remains the same for our upcoming family trip. Much love to you all and again, thank you for all you have done to support me through this journey. I'm not done fighting.
