8/8/25-An Overdue Update
It has been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted here. There has been plenty going on, however things have mostly been negative forcing me to really take a step back from everything. But rather then talk about the past I think it’s best that I just let you all know what is going on.
I restarted chemo this week. In order to continue the chemo later this month I am going into surgery to get an access port installed. This will allow further chemotherapy sessions to allow me to feel less like a “pin cushion,” the doctors words not mine.
I also have a biliary drain replacement coming up.
In short August is a busy month for procedures. While all this is going on I am dealing with some level of constant pain. Sleep is difficult. My appetite is dwidling.
I’m looking at the next few weeks as a fork in the road. I will need to decide if I need to continue to fight or if its time to accept my future. Its a tough one, but something I really need to reflect and pray about.
More to come on that obviously.
I’m so sorry to hear of your illness. Prayers to you and your family. No one deserves to be in pain.
I can’t imagine what I would decide nor would I presume to make suggestions. Just remember there are people who love you regardless of any “whats” or “whens”. I continue to be impressed with the person, husband, and father you’ve become.
Thanks for sharing; your mother’s blogs have been a source of solace for me for years; I will be thinking of you as you navigate this unasked for journey
Matt you’re in my prayers daily
Blessings galore
