in Colorectal Cancer #1

While I may have missed recent post  here by Renw, I went to his blog to see if it had been updated since his aborted surgery. 

He has posted there... http://www.mcrc4.com/

He is sounding pretty discouraged but still making plans for getting more treatment while he can.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he makes a courageous fight against cancer.

    Thanks for letting us know, Marie.

    I hope things are going as well as they can with you as well.

    Poor Ren.  He's been through so much.  I really hope the options he's considering will help him.

    Its one tough journey...

    for one tough man.

    I'm so sorry they had to back out of the surgical plan. I hope that Ren can find comfort and relief from his pains. 

    We're all thinking of you Ren.

    I admire that man for his

    I admire that man for his persistence, but there is no way I could do what he is doing. I haven't given up, but I have accepted my situation and realize that with the current state of treatment that I will not be cured. In fact, remission seems nearly impossible. Sometimes the disease is just too advanced when they find it, and I am one of those cases. I have accepted that and will live my life accordingly. Right now, I am more concerned about quality than quantity. Extra days living like Ren is living is not something I will consider.

    Tedd,
    I admire your attitude

    Tedd,

    I admire your attitude just as much as Ren's.  You seem like a really sensible guy.  I hate that you and your family are going through this hell.  I wish it didn't have to be this way.
