Update on Doc Hawk

in Colorectal Cancer #1

I spoke with Doc today to see how he was doing.

He continues to have considerable pain from the surgery...triggered by BM's.  Based on his previous experience with this surgery, he expects it to take 2 or 3 months for things to heal and pain to be relieved.

He is doing what he can to get in calories to try to keep weight up.

He continues to have his chemo treatments, which are also taking considerable out of him.  He has had to drop this semester's classes as he cannot sit up for any period of time due to pain.

I am certain that he would appreciate any good vibes, well wishes or prayers you would like to send his way.

    Bless his heart!

    I am so sorry to hear about the continued pain, even though it is expected after such a surgery.

    He will always be in my prayers, along with everyone else. 

    It makes me sit back and realize that my pains are not half so bad as those of others. 

    Bless you Doc!

    Tell Doc will pray for him

    I feel so bad about all the pain that Doc is having.  It is so draining having constant pain.  Pray he gets some relief at least sometimes. Jeff
