The winds of change have stopped blowing

I sadly report that my soulmate passed away last evening.  Walt kept up his humor until the very end and had me laughing to the point of tears streaming down my face.  I have kept a journal since he was first diagnosed over 4 years ago and I am so glad I did as it has helped me along the way and I know it will serve a similar purpose in the days to come.  Once funeral details are complete I will share obituary information with you.  Thank you for all your support, it has meant so much to both of us.  If you have memories to share with me, please don't hesitate to do so.  I would love to hear them.

The winds of change have blown again

Walt's health has taken a nosedive and he's now at home receiving full hospice care.  He's strong and stable right now.  We do ask that you respect his wishes and not try to come visit.  Please remember him as he was when you last saw him...laughing, yelling, being a pain in the neck, etc.  We are okay, truly, we are.  As things change I will let you know.  Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers, etc.  If I need you, I will let you know.  I'm not afraid to ask for help.

Taking the next step

We saw the oncologist March 2nd.  The latest test results show that the cancers have continued to spread despite all the treatment options thus far.  Walt has made the decision to discontinue them and will be getting palliative care.  This is not hospice but supportive care which is all about the best quality of life that can be offered him in his situation.

Thank you for all your prayers, thoughts, etc.  Please continue them as we still have quite a bit of road to travel on this journey.
