So....talk about.....CANCER SUPPORT THREAD !!

I am in hopes that he will. He was always an avid gardener and had the most beautiful and productive garden anywhere around these parts. People use to drive by just to see it.
I pray he will return to his former self soon.
 
Just came home from my uncle's memorial service. He was one of my Dad's brothers. All three remaining siblings were there and all three looked very thin, gaunt and weak, including my father. There were 7 brothers, only three left now. :( Very sad to see these three, very strong and independent men, reduced to mere shells of their former selves.
It was extremely difficult for me.

I'm sorry.

I think we should all hit fifty and then grow back down to youth.

Thank you all for your support! It's been very rough.... Anyone who is interested, you can visit his page on facebook, Prayers For Spencer. I think his pic right now shows him with a chubby face, and a long bright red wig on

he isn't bald, it was right after Halloween and he borrowed part of his sisters costume!

Spencer has PILOMYXOID astrocytoma, in his brain stem and brain and spinal canal. There is no cure at this point. Docs thought he wouldn't make it till Christmas, but our guy is showing them wrong!

He had a tiny bit of chemo, almost two years ago now, but it didn't help. So we stopped it. We are still trying to use alternative stuff, but at this point, life is all about quality, and we push to make sure he gets lots of fun times, even though his body is 99% paralyzed. He gets seizures now, from the pressure of the tumor, but thankfully, they haven't killed him, and we have been able to manage them using frankenscense oil and occasionally Ativan.

I am keeping a small flock of chickens in our little backyard, recently added two nigerian dwarfs, and am looking forward to a garden this spring. The animals help me relax and get away from the harsh reality I face with Spencer. They brought me such joy before he was diagnosed, I am hoping they will give me peace when he has passed.
Just to let everyone know...sadly Spencer passed away today....in the arms of his Mom and Dad...

Suzette is comforted by your thoughts and prayers..no doubt she will be back on BYC in the future.
