If y'all see Rich roaming the halls

My first treatment will be March 9th. 35 treatments all together. Four hours each?

My brother, I'm praying that your upcoming treatment (and the 34 afterwards!) goes as smooth as silk in shrinking that growth down to zero, in Jesus' name!

 

[Northwinds]

Concerned you have not posted in days Rob, just sent you a message. Hopefully you are OK. Wish someone could check on you

 

[Quadman2]

When the time is right...or better, get back to us... as Nw just shared.

We pray and hope for y'all at this time.


Q

 

[cason]

How are you doing? We’re still praying for you.

 

[Northwinds]

Last I heard he started radiation and was working on a calcium imbalance so he can start chemo. I plan on trying to message him today if he can respond. I tried the other day and I could tell he was feeling totally miserable

 

[Copanel]

I hope he gets through this treatment well, from what I've heard it's hard to bear.

Northwinds, thanks for your update. I know Rob doesn’t have it in him to continue posting here very often, so if one or two of his long time friends here can get information and share it, that would be great.

I'm sorry i haven't posted much lately. It's hell being non-verbal in a speaking world.

I have started chemo and radiation, five times a week for radiation, once for chemo. Add on not being able to drive and it has been hell. Im trying to f8gure out how in the hell I'm making my 8:00 am appointment tomorrow.

Nothing in life is easy they say. Hold my beer while I attempt to handle this conundrum. One thing is certain, one step closer to ringing that damn bell.

Sorry... hell, it's good to hear from you. Wish I was closer, would see you to that appointment and any that follow.

Yer a tough mf-er, you have a large cheering section here, us praying types are yankin' the Almighty 's chain for attention & intercession. Just try to keep up the positive vibe & fighter mindset. Go Rob, go!

Rob, It was great to see your post this morning. Just do what you can do and the rest will take care of itself. We know it’s going to be a rough road for you, but you can make it. Ring that damn bell! As always, we are praying for healing and mercy. May God be gracious to you.

I pray you'll have a driver, whether friend, Uber, angel (or all of the above!) to get you where you need to go during this process and bring you to the full healing you deserve, in Jesus' name!

 

[mrswakka]

We’re all really proud of you dude.

 

[ETLS]

Rob, Although we've never met. You are in my thoughts quite a bit over the last few weeks. It is obvious that many AK'ers love you and are concerned. I continue to marvel at your strength and perseverance. Your determination and humor are uplifting. We are all with you.

I appreciate the kind words. I needed that this morning more than anything. Right now I'm here feeling like crap, massive headache, this massive tumor smothering my ability to taste liquids/foods. EDITED: I just woke up from a nap and had a peach mango V-8 energy drink, that problem is now behind me because daYum, that flavor just slapped me so cross-eyed, i can stand in the middle of the week and see both Sundays.

I need a keyboard with buttons between "large pizza" and olympic size swimming pool. My fingers are not little anymore.

Its in the works. My csse worker has sent a referral over which would then trigger it (if i meet qualifications) to zero cost to me.

Tenacity is not a problem for me. It's just how much going on all around me that overwhelms the mind to the point I just need to shut "the world around me" down for some meditation and refocus time.

Looking back, what was cancer thinking?

"Cancer": well...not much on my schedule today, so should I take on ole Robert, or go shave a wild tiger's ass with a dull razor in a phone booth?

Now if THAT didn't put a grin on your face...

 

[Northwinds]

I have to shave a wild Tigger's ass. She gets wild whenever I reach for the Huggies wet wipes. 16+lb cat that looks like she weighs 8 until you try picking her up

This is it for me. This is what I find is the hardest part of dealing with all of this.

I am my own worst enemy. I get so de-focused at times. I just find a quiet place and close my eyes and listen to some bone jarring music.

Somehow I have found that Motorhead solves all the worlds and my problems.

Ok enough of my weird rantings.
