2017 is coming to a close and I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
Chad
had his last doctor appointment of 2017 yesterday with Dr. Swain. A
General Surgeon at our local hospital. He is the same doctor who removed
Chad's appendix and essentially, unknowingly, made Chad cancer free :)
Chad
has to have an annual colonoscopy and since his oncologist waited so
long to schedule it, they couldn't get him in at the VA hospital so
thankfully, we were able to go local. However, they're also packed and
he won't have the procedure until March, 2018.
He is
doing physical therapy twice a week and we now have a lumbar home
traction device, so we're hopeful it helps him and brings about a less
painful 2018.
For everyone out there who continues to offer support and friendship - we love you!
From our home to yours, we wish you all a very safe, happy and HEALTHY holiday season!
This is the story of Chad's fight against Appendix Cancer. On January 7, 2015 Chad found out just how special he was when he was told that not only did he have Cancer but it was extremely rare and very aggressive. Chad has always taken life by storm - so why stop now? Some may have crumpled and fell but the soldier in him took over and he decided then and there he had an infinite number of reasons to kick Cancer's ass. The road will never be easy but he will fight - and he will win.
