The much anticipated Physical Therapy Consult for Chad is tomorrow. The goal for this is to make life a bit more comfortable and manageable so that Chad can make it until December for his surgery.
Fortunately, we were able to use the Tri-West program with the VA, which allows you to use local facilities. I called around and thankfully Chad will be using the Murray Health and Wellness Center! (That's my gym as well!) Super excited about that.
Chad is doing his best. He is a hard worker and even though he may be in excruciating pain at times, he pushes through. He's not always happy about it ( ha ha ) but he has never given up. He amazes me sometimes. I tell him REST! Nope. Not happening. :)
We are still waiting on the pain management thing but since that is likely just different or more medication, we're not concerned. The physical therapy is the important one in my humble opinion.
I want to send a special thanks to those of you who check in and keep us in your thoughts. There are so many of you out there who live with chronic pain and whose lives have been turned inside out with a cancer diagnosis, it just means the world to know that we're not alone.
Cancer may not be present in our day to day lives, but the threat never leaves. The thought is never to far from ones mind. I continue to lean on you all for strength. Thank you for being there. 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.
