Ive been posting about my battle with stage 3 rectal cancer on RR for months but it occurred to me that some here don't frequent that board so I decided to share with my fellow football cats as well.....

I am finally home from the hospital. It took several more days for my digestive system to restart than had been anticipated but after having the tube down my throat to clear everything out it finally got moving.
I thought I had experienced the worst pain a man could with the kidney stones but having all that air trapped and trying to force it's way out far exceeded anything Id been through. By the grace of God I made it through.
Surgeon said the margins were very good. There is one positive lymph node but he said I have a second chance. Still a long road ahead. Chemo will resume in2 weeks.
Thankfully blue Cross has been amazing. I still have some radiation bills in the tens of thousands from before the insurance changed but that's a long way from relevant right now. Things like how to replace my broken glasses without vision coverage are much more pressing (I'm legally blind without correction and my prescription is 2 years old). I plan to go cheap if I can raise the 200-300 I need to get a new set from walmart I'd be thrilled.
Thanks to you guys and my family I've managed to avoid losing my home and keep the lights on so once again I want to thank you all for everything. I am very lucky to be alive having had a tumor the size of a softball growing for over 2 years. God is great!
I love you guys!!!
