A Time To Reassess Life's Priorities
As a lot of you know I have been battling bladder cancer for more than 4 years having had 4 operations and every imaginable treatment known to the medical profession.
In the last 6 months or more I have been constantly losing weight (which I sure can't afford) and my energy level and appetite has been in constant decline. At the urging of my Urologist I went to my family physician and asked him to schedule me for CAT scans of my chest and abdomen. Even though I had a chest xray less than 6 months ago in preparation for my last bladder operation which showed no problems.
I received the results of the CAT scans this past Friday which indicate I have a tumor on my left lung and also the possible presence of cancer cells on my liver (as diagnosed by my family physician). I am scheduled to visit a lung specialist and a cancer specialist this coming Monday and Tuesday.
Based on this development it came to me quite quickly that I need to adjust my lifestyle priorities. Woodworking will have to take a back seat to other things. I have already vowed that I did my last WW'ing job for money Saturday (Some office name boards). All woodworking activies will be limited and used strictly for mental therapy, as necessary.
I have no idea what medical procedures I will subjected to, however I expect them to be quite extensive.
Already being a "cancer survivor" I will fight and survive this new bout with that dreaded disease.
