Bill had his surgery for rectal cancer the end of March. The colostomy portion of the surgery was performed by Dr. Sarah Vogler her in MN using a robot! Then she removed the tumor and rectum. Bill was a model hospital patient and came home feeling pretty well. He adjusted to the colostomy with all it's bags and fittings with ease. Just a little adjustment as to products to use and he's a pro. Easy to take care of, no muss, no fuss....except that no one told us that without a sphincter on his stoma (the opening on his left side) lets out loud and copious gas with bravado! Any time. Any where. Big Red (the name he's given his stoma) has no manners.
There was, however, much pain associated with the closing of the rectum that began about 10 days after surgery and only began to subside about 4 weeks ago. We are both grateful that he doesn't need anything for the pain anymore except a very large cushion to sit on. This week Bill also registered a first...he's gained a couple of pounds.
Chemo began the end of May on a two week rotation. He goes in on a Wednesday and spends a couple of hours in a comfy chair getting a ton of anti-nausea drugs pumped in and then gets hooked up to an infusion pump in a fanny pack that is his constant companion until Friday when he goes back to get unhooked. This is pumping in the chemo cocktail which is supposed to kill any stray cancer cells in his body. It's easy for me to say that it's not too bad. He's tired a lot of the time but doing more and more projects around the house.
We have a flock of chickens now....Bill build a wonderful coop and run with help from the family. He repaired the cover to our pool and we found that it needs some additional work to get it ready for family....right now it's more like a huge pond. But little by little he's working on pumps, etc. He's been able to help out the son-in-laws with some projects....boats and sheet rock and electrical this and that. Each day he seems better. The first few days after chemo are tough, but we are moving along.
I'll try to update soon with all the other happenings here on Deerwood Circle.

Thank you so much for the update on Bill, I've been wondering how he was doing and worried that no news was not good news. Glad he still has his sense of humor!I hope he makes a speedy recovery when chemo is over and you two can get on with the things you want to do. Keep blogging, I miss you!
Thank you for the update. I continue to hold you both in my prayes. Love you both.
What a great report! I'm so happy for Bill and for you. I know you are both breathing a little easier right now and gaining strength to follow through. Gary and I will continue to keep you in our prayers for total healing.
Oops, just realized I posted from Gary's phone. Blessings, Tricia
How are you and your hubby doing? Thinking of you.
It was during my research on HIV/Herpes that I stumbled upon the Hiv/Herpes information; information which is quite easy to find when doing a search for STD on google. I was into conspiracy at the time and thought of HIV/Herpes Cured' being a conspiracy was something ignorant though,I found it pretty interesting about herbal medicine. I asked questions about the Herbal cure's on official HIV/Herpes websites and I was banned for doing so by moderators who told me that I was parroting Hiv/Herpes propaganda. This reinforced my belief that there is a cure for Hiv/Herpes Then i found a lady from germany name Achima Abelard Dr Itua Cure her Hiv so I send him a mail about my situation then talk more about it and send me his herbal medicine I drank for two weeks.And today I'm Cured no Hiv/Herpes in my life,I searched for Hiv/Herpes groups to attempt to make contact with people in order to learn more about Hiv/Herpes Herbal Cure I believed at this time that you with the same disease this information is helpful to you and I wanted to do the best I could to spread this information in the hopes of helping other people.That Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease,Cushing’s disease,Heart failure,Multiple Sclerosis,Hypertension,Colo_Rectal Cancer,Lyme Disease,Blood Cancer,Brain Cancer,Breast Cancer,Lung Cancer,Kidney Cancer,Love Spell,psoriasis,Lottery Spell,disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.Infertility,Tach Disease ,Epilepsy ,Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Autism,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma, (measles, tetanus, whooping cough, tuberculosis, polio and diphtheria)Allergic diseases.Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone ToxicitySyndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans ProgresS sclerosis,Seizures,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic diseases.Hiv_ Aids,Herpe ,Copd,Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.
