Greetings, gang.
The last two weeks have been a nightmare for me. I hate to be a downer in here but I gotta vent somehow. A week ago Monday my wife was diagnosed with liver and lung cancer. Since then has been a whirlwind of tests and installation of a port. On Monday she starts chemo. 4 hours on Monday then in three weeks another 4 hours. Don't know yet how long this will go on but they don't put a port in for one or two treatments. Today we picked out a wig as she will be losing her hair. So far, there is no radiation involved.
Then this afternoon I got a call from my son's wife. Seems as though he had a mini-stroke yesterday morning. All tests so far are coming back negative. Monday he will have an ultrasound on his heart. Doctors are trying to figure out where it came from. Cholesterol is within tolerance and there is minimal plaque on the arteries.
Any prayers or kind thoughts you can send our way will be greatly appreciated. Right now I don't know if or when I'll be able to post again 'cuz it's gonna be kinda busy around here.
All stay safe.
Tom
PS - RB, good to hear you're doing ok.
