To our wonderful, generous friends. Gary finished chemo #3
He had a bad night with flu like symptoms including a 101 fever. It is better this morning.
I really want to let you all know what a badass Gary is. For someone who has never had a surgery, or big illness ( before this), and a terrible fear of needles, this guy is tough. Some may have heard him say, “It is what it is” no self loathing, no why me. Instead he says, “why not me”
He is strong and is moving forward.
We understand the realities coming up. Chemo will end soon, and regular scans will happen, and this creepy cancer will return. When it does, there will be little in what we can do. But we choose to March forward, do things together. Gary loves to fish, get his telescope out, and play music in his awesome band. He has a new love for socializing with new and old friends. He is making the most of the days he feels up to enjoying.
Gary and I actually enjoy being around each other so we are just making the most of it. And today, it’s one foot in front of the other. We continue to carry on. Thanks to all of you for being there.
