The Faces Of An Urban Viking Cancer Warrior

Image
  Cancer’s not an easy Beast to slay. Sadly, I know this too well having been battling it for seven years now. In and out of remission more times than I expected. Following   are a few photos of me at various stages of my battle. This is me this evening. January 29th, 2019   strapped into my radiation cage for my first of 80 experimental Radical Radiation treatments in a twenty day session. November 2018 The Battle begins. March 2019 They had to extract all my teeth because the targetted Radiation was destroying them . Late 2019 I can feel the changes in my body. Spring 2020 Removed a section of my bowel. I don’t want to think about that experience. Autumn 2020 I have no religion but I have Faith Skipping ahead to Spring 2021 Abscessed Feeding Tube Summer 2021 Home for a visit after 33 weeks in Princess Margaret Cancer Center Spring 2022 Have a cigar Warrior. You deserve it! 2020 My beard fell off shortly after this pic was taken. First day I was allowed to go outside for...

Pathology Reports For My Colonoscopy Are In

Image
  Just got the pathology reports for the colonoscopy I had last week. CANCER IS IN REMISSION!!!! BUT ...... I have pre-cancer dysplasia. My colon is severely damaged from the huge abscess I had in 2020 and from the Experimental Radical Radiation Treatments. In 2020 they removed 18 inches of my colon and they think they may have to remove two more sections. SO  ... GOOD NEWS  ........... IT IS NOT THE CANCER SPREADING BAD NEWS  ...... IT IS STILL VERY SERIOUS AND I MAY LOSE MORE OF MY COLON. I am glad it's not the cancer spreading into my bowels. It is a huge load off my shoulders. If I need surgery then I need surgery.  Simple as that! I will deal with it like I did with everything else I have been through. With a positive attitude, inappropriate humour and my handsome grin. Hopefully they can treat me without cutting me up (Again!) The pre-cancerous dysplasia is cause for concern.  It can easily become cancer. But, I am a Cancer Warrior, not...

Yet, the Battle Continues

Image
  January 2019 This picture was taken five years ago. I had just begun a 33 week stay in Princess Margaret Cancer Center. The first of many stays. I looked so old. As the song says, “I was so much older then. I’m younger th an that now.” To think of all I have survived since then just blows my mind. Look at this next picture. Taken a few weeks after my spleen literally exploded. Causing me to bleed out, be resuscitated and spend yet another spell on life support  (yes, again! ) The battle was catching up to me. The two cancers, losing my gallbladder, my lymph nodes, my hearing, my teeth, the use of a kidney, a part of my bowel and the numerous other afflictions that challenged my will to survive tested me to my limits and beyond. Not to mention the abdominal abscess that led to my dropping out, being resuscitated, then being on life support (again!).  I had an enormous abscess growing within and it almost took my life. Thankfully, it began to surface at my gastrointestina...

Suicide Is Not “PAINLESS”

Image
Christmas will never exist in my life after this year. My son, Delaney Jordan, committed suicide yesterday. December 25th, 2019. Left to Right:Me,Jordan,Randy Left to Right: Jordan, Randy and I. He and his wife, Katelyn, decided to relocate from Toronto, Ontario to Black Diamond, Alberta. They had made the decision to start a new life in a new province with new friends. Alberta was not good to them at all. When they first arrived they did their best to try and secure employment. Kate succeeded by finding a part time job at a subway sandwich shop. Social Services absolutely refused to help them in any way. Even at Christmas. They were actually quite rude to both Katelyn and Jordan. This led to depression for both of them. They could not believe that a government agency could care less that they were homeless and possibly going to freeze to death on the street. They had made plans to scrimp and save until they had enough to return to their native Toronto. Perhap...
