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.
Chad has been having on going issues, one of which is a never-ending pain in his side area, bloating when he eats, etc., The only organ close by where the pain is, is the spleen. The doctors have finally ordered a CT Scan and it is for today.
Please send prayers and positive thoughts that whatever is wrong - it is nothing sinister. I pray he somehow gets some answers and this doesn't become one more thing he 'has to just deal with' and if it is, he is able to find some comfort somehow.
❤🙏❤
It is hard to believe Chad faced the battle of a life time 8 years ago. Ill never forget the moment when Dr Sardi came to see me after the surgery. I sat in a room waiting, praying, terrified of what he might say. Did the cancer spread or did they catch it in time? What would the next steps be? How much of his colon did they remove? Will he be okay?
When Dr Sardi walked through the door, he had a smile on his face that said more than his mouth ever could. He delivered the incredible news that not only was the surgery a success, but he could not find any evidence of disease. He said we had one more step to take to confirm he was cancer free and that was lymphnode testing. (That took about a week but results were all clear!!)
He said Chad was one of his miracle patients and that, God willing, he will go on to live a long healthy life.
We won't pretend Chad hasn't had his fair share of health issues as a result of all the trauma his body endured during those surgeries but we are so forever grateful he is celebrating his 8th year cancer free!
Congrats Chad, you're a warriors and we love you so much ❤🙏 Happy 8th Year Cancer Free! 🦾
Chad has a CT Scan in less than one hour. We will not get the results for a few days but we would sincerely appreciate all the good thoughts and prayers.
The scan is for his cancer stuff. He had been having some issues and was due for blood work and this CT Scan. His blood work was great so now we just need this scan to show NED (no evidence of disease) to allow his mind to rest for another couple years until the next one.
Thanks in advance for your payers, positive thoughts, love and light ❤
❤🙏❤
Edit to add: Chads' doctor already called and the scan looked good. No change since last one. Woo Hoo. God is good 😆❤
