UPDATE on my health issues

As some of you already know , (due to my personal letter to some members here (below ) I am dealing with health issues .

“”Hi, I hope all is well with you . Unfortunately , I can't say the same for myself . I have been ill for a while and losing weight rapidly, and , finally Last week . I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer , The outlook for me is not very good at all . I am still home , and still able to get around a bit , but my caregiver duties for my wife are now very limited , so we are trying to set something else up for her . I have alot of chest pain , I have to blend all my food in a blender and crush up my pills as I can't swallow anything solid . Treatment and scans are delayed due to covid backlogs etc .but success rate is low anyway.. So while i am still able , I'm just letting my friends and pals know whats up with me and explain my recent absence . and touch base while I still can , and thank them for being a friend , and know that they are appreciated .

Take care my friends .

aint life a bitch . ?

Pick.””

UPDATE . They found spots in my liver also, after the CT Scan. but are not sure if it is the cancer that has spread there too , so I have to get a full body P.E.T scan to find out . so . I will be radio active for a while .lol. They are also prepping me for a feeding tube this week . Weeee ….. big fun .

But for now . im still home and still fighting it off .

Wish me luck .

Pick.
