It’s been too long since I’ve posted an update, but as I looked back on some of the notes from last year at this time, it looked pretty scary! But with you guys, and God‘s help I was able to walk through the last year of treatment. So the most recent test was on February 10 with an endoscopy, which showed no cancer cells on the inside of my esophagus!!! Thank you God!!

Now as a result of the PET scan that was done in January, there’s still shows either a little spot of remaining cancer or inflammation from the treatment over the last year, but I meet with my oncologist on April 6 and should know what our next steps are to be, most likely amino therapy. Unfortunately, I’m still dealing with a lot of side effects that we’re supposed to happen during the treatment that have kicked in after. But I’m on a regular work schedule of 15 hours a week which is the most I really can handle but I’m grateful that I have a break from all this treatment in the last year.

I wanna thank all of you for your support financially and emotionally. So I will post again after my appointment with my oncologist on April 6. I am struggling with anxiety and depression and also what I guess is a real thing struggle with chemo brain, which in the biggest way affects my memory. With God and you guys, I will continue to trudge (walk with a purpose) through the end, when I report that I am cancer free!! I love and miss all of you guys. Hope to come to Colorado for a visit soon.

Love
Mike
