It’s hard to believe.

Wes,

Symptoms are alway important and should never be overlooked.

Did you have any indications before the day you described above that you might have thought something was wrong but just let it pass? Like spots in your vision or peripheral vision issues, headaches, etc.

My father died of colon cancer, basically by keeping the symptoms to himself, until the damn tumor ruptured and spread cancer all over his body. He had stomach distention, but never said a word.

Sorry, I see you just answered my question while I was writing...

Life remains an ongoing mystery.....never knowing what surprise tomorrow might hold.....Godspeed, Wes

For the longest time Wes I thought you were a priest.

I guess you are just a Dr Guido Sarducci doppelgänger. (Yes, Dan Quayle, Murphy Brown is fictional!)

Now I know you are just an all-around good guy, and a Frog one at that.

Continued best wishes and hoping for and extra dose of strength to overcome this challenge.

(BTW, did your daughter get to go on a belated honeymoon? I hope so!)

At one time I was in an Episcopalian seminary and wanted to be ordained at least as a deacon. I was never a postulate for holy orders but would have enjoyed traveling down that road. Just wasn’t meant to be. My daughter is leaving on her honeymoon in two weeks>. Better late than never but I am happy she was with me during surgery.

I’m just a Guido Sarducci wannabe

Not reallyAll of this happened in March of last year and started the 19th.In January, I did have temporary loss of vision for about 10 minutes at the most but it returned>. I went o an opthamologist and he said I had an ocular migraine.Never heard of that but they do exist. It was like some pulling down a window screen over my right eye and all I could see was gray cross hatch patterns. It was odd but that’s all I had symptom wise prior o the big one

Wes, I served a congregation in the Houston area for a while as an Interim. I have any number of clergy friends in the area. If you are ever at Anderson for an extended time period and would like a clergy visit, just let me know and I know I could give someone a call and they would com see you. Please know you continue to be in my prayers.

 

[Frog DJ]

Right there by your side in spirit and prayer.

NEGU Wes. You have been an inspiration to me and others.

 

[tcudoc]

You’re an inspiration Wes! I am glad I have gone from being an internet friend to, what I hope is, a real friend. Probably time for me to buy you some more BBQ at Miller’s if you are ever in the area again.

You have my highest admiration at how you're handling this. I hope if ever get that sort of dreaded news I can fight bravely like you. NEGU. Kick cancer's arse!

Keep kicking Baylor Wes. Fight’em until Waco freezes over then fight’em on the ice.

I will but Waco froze over a long time ago. There is no ice there to fight on. Just a green, gooey mud that looks like something in a baby diaper

I appreciate that but I want to curl up in the fetal position and scream
