Giving alot of credit to my wonderful bride for she has shown great strength and patience with me through this battle. I also cannot imagine going through this without my faith in Christ. Many ask me how I stay so positive but to be honest it's not all that hard. I reeky feel that all that I am going through is for a much greater purpose than I may ever understand. I'm ok with that.
Just a little update on my current situation. I went to see Doc Sussman yesterday to get my bandages changed and get the latest results from pathology. The news was not what I wanted to hear by any means but I accept it and will continue to fight day after day.
He was not able to get all of the cancer cell during the latest surgery. He does not want to talk about going back in for now for fear of damaging the arm muscles any further. I'm at a point now where I cannot afford to lose any more without potentially disabling the arm. The tumors are getting closer to the shoulder and we are at a point that we need to be concerned.
6 weeks of radiation is the next step. The best we can hope for now is that the remaining cancerous cells are destroyed and I live with what I have left of an upper arm. Not so bad. My odds are better than 50% that radiation will be successful. That's what I'm banking on if it's Gods will.
Worst case at this point is I get really good at using my left arm as there is potential of losing my right arm. Time will tell.
More details to come.
