It has been nearly 5 months since my last post. These past 4 months have been very trying for both Wanda and me. Wanda began to feel ill while we were on vacation in June. It began feeling like muscle spasms in her right shoulder, spine and below her ribcage. After seeing the Dr. and given pain killers for the pain and only getting worse over a 5 week period, the Dr. finally ordered an ultrasound. When the ultrasound found spots on her pancreas and liver they also did a CT scan, and 2 weeks later a biopsy which was positive for cancer. They diagnosed her with pancreatic cancer which has spread to her liver. It is inoperable and the Dr says that the only choice is whether to have chemo or not. Wanda has decided not to go through the chemo and we are treating her with alternative treatments.
We had planned on being in Terlingua in September, but have had to put our plans on hold. We have received a great deal of support from family and friends, as well as the local Hospice. For now we are taking things one day at a time. But one way or another, we will get our cabin built.
Don't know how soon I will be posting again but I hope to be back soon.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
