My apologies to my followers and readers again. I pulled myself up and out of the depression after my brother died in May of 2016. I completely quit drinking and was doing really, really well. March of 2018, life decided to kick me in the nuts again. It jumped up and said, "Guess what? You've got cancer." I've been dealing with that for the past several months.
On a positive note, my cancer appears to be totally beatable. It's what is called a soft tissue sarcoma. It's contained within the fatty and some muscle tissue on my right side. MRI and CT scans have shown it's not into any organs. I'm thankful for that. I have a few more radiation treatments to go as of the writing of this. After that, I wait 2 weeks to a month for the radiation effect to stop and for the mass to shrink. Next step is surgery to get this damn thing out of me. I remain very positive and very hopeful for the outcome of all of this.
