I just cannot thank everyone enough for all your prayers and support. Robert has always been the heathly & strong one. This illness was like a lightening strike, so unexpected. He is fighting with everything he has to stay with us. He has started chemo, and there is a 20-40% chance that it will help. Next week they will begin 10 doses of radiation to help control the pain. He will be on chemo for the rest of his life.
Meantime, we are trying to live as normally as possible. We are going to try to make it to Suoix Falls, SD to see our filly show. And friends are helping us finish fencing the dream place we purchased just 3 years ago to fullfil our dream of getting back into horses. Robert trains quarter horses, and currently has his 3 horses boarded elsewhere, but as he gets weaker he doesn't have the strength to drive the hour to where they are stabled, so we want to bring them home. He says an hour with his horses reduces his need for pain meds. He has terrible bone pain, and head aches. He says the pain is like a brain freeze from eating somthing cold too fast, but it stays for hours.
We have been together for 34 years, and married after knowing each other for just three months. He is my soul mate and I cannot imagine how I will go on with out him. Please do keep him in your prayers.
