When I got home, IC just held me tight. I wanted so much to hug and kiss him and beat his azz at the same time, but he held me and as he did, a calmness came over me. Even though I KNOW he is scared, he's got...confidence isn't the word I'm looking for, he's just got this thing about him that makes you feel that even in the face of turmoil...that everything is going to be ok. I can't describe it but I FEEL it.
This cancer doesn't know what it's up against in my boy. It might ultimately win the battle but I can say without uncertainty that it will NEVER break his spirit and his will.
What's IC little saying on his signature line...If you can't lick em'..lick em'.....I placing my bet now that he'll lick this one way or another.
Lilly, I'm NOT backing away or withdrawing from IC. I had a lot of mixed emotions today but I'm back in the fight Thank you !
Now if you guys don't mind, I'm going up to snuggle with my boy
Wow ! I just read this. I never realized just how lucky I am....to think I was that close to getting my azz beat
No seriously, I've got one helluva woman here. I draw a lot of my strength from her. I've got so much to be thankful for with her in my life. I don't know how she finds it in her to put up with me...one of life's great mysteries
Quo100,
Lill is a very special kind of woman and one of the reasons I come on here and open up. When it's our own personal situation, it's very hard to see what's on the other side. Emotions run high and it's very comforting to feel that hand of wisdom come in and help settle things down
Kind of an odd thing for a Sunday morning, but I received a surprising phone call from one of the doctors on my "team" He was all excited, said he didn't want to wait until tomorrow to call. Seems he's been reviewing the tests and some of the imagery that they had taken. He said he sees NOTHING that would even suggest that this has spead and that chemo would not really be an effective route. He's going to talk things over with the others...but long story short, he's wanting to go in and take this thing out...soon ! Probably going to require a rod or plate to help stabilize the bone (I guess they would have to remove some of the bone to make sure they get it all ??) and then follow up with some spot radiation treatments. He sounded all excited so I'm guessing this is good news???
Miss IC and the girls are gone to church (would probably do me some good to go, just afraid of the lightning bolts that would probably strike me down ) I wanted to give the doc the ok to git-r-done but then thought about it..."Let me talk to Miss IC first, we're in this together "
On another note...Fearless, where you at babe? It seems that Nov 17th Michigan / Ohio State showdown is getting a litle bit interesting and I haven't heard any of that chirping lately from ya..Gettin nervous are ya ?
Thank you !
