I have not posted for awhile - no news is good news, right?
Usually. It's also very frustrating because regardless of tests, scans, blood work - no one seems to know or is all that inclined to find out exactly what is wrong with Chad.
So basically this is where we are at.
He was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and now has one of those machines, which is not doing much for him at all except making his throat raw and sinus stuffed up. Though, when he does wear it, he doesn't snore which is GREAT for ME! :D
He still cramps, he still vomits, he still can barely eat. He is tired all the time. He had a CT Scan a week ago but we still haven't heard the results of that and I can't find out because it was done locally instead of at the VA In Marion (where they post the results online).
Edit: Apparently Chad had already gotten the results and didn't tell me lol They're all clear. which is of course - AWESOME NEWS!
Chad is also very paranoid and this part is heart breaking and frustrating for his loved ones (me). Ever since he got cancer, every ache and pain - everytime he feels something is 'off', it really messes with his emotional and mental status. I wish he would see a therapist but he refuses so we just walk through life almost waiting for the next shit storm. It's no way to live and my heart breaks for him that he never gets a break from this :(
With that said, he is still doing well. He never gives up, works hard and pushes through all the pain and discomfort. He truly is a soldier by every definition of the word. xo
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.
