My fight against stomach Cancer
I had been getting sick often hiking this summer and thought I was getting old and weak and just couldn't keep up with my boys anymore. October 15th I got really sick at work and was sent to the hospital. They did a bunch of tests and found that I had a hernia in my chest. I thought sweet found the problem and easy fix. On November 4th I had a message from my doctor saying, we need to talk. I knew from the sound of his voice it was going to be bad news. I was diagnosed with aggressive stomach cancer.
I haven't worked since oct 15th and they won't let me til we tackle this stomach cancer. Salina and I have been together almost 7yrs and this is the first time I haven't been able to come up with my half of the bills.
I have applied for medical leave. It's a long process, I was just approved for a lifetime. Because this may be a lifetime of treatment and evaluations.
I've had three surgeries so far. It hasn't spread we don't think. It's contained to my stomach. I think they are preparing me for a big surgery and then radiation but the answers are still up in the air.
I live a simple life. My only bills are rent, utilities,phone and car insurance. I could leave home with a backpack and be happy, I did all the time ️❤️
