Just a post to let you all know that if you need anything and I can't be reached, contact Francina, she has graciously accepted to step in while I am dealing with our life here in Nebraska.
Bruce was diagnosed last Friday with Pancreatic Cancer, Stage IV metastasized into his liver and kidneys, he wasn't given a very good pronosis for life expectancy, 3 months to whenever depending on the reaction to treatments. There is no surgery they can do, basically at this point pancreatic cancer is still a very incurable disease. He started chemotherapy this week and will continue weekly until they see some improvement or discontinue if no improvment is made. Our family is still in pretty much shock, trying to deal with this, we have three little children 8, 6 and 4 years old they have no concept to the extent of the disease. I have been exploring natural therapy, including metabolic therapy, but since our family is barely surviving financially, we don't have the means to pay for most of these treatments, that seem to be really good. Bruce should start receiving some Social Security Disability which will help our finances some, but not sure how long it will take to kick in, in the mean time, friends, family and church members have been terrific.
So, again I apologize for not being around much and I will check in from time to time and feel free to email me directly at dirtroadacademy@alltel.net if you have any problems or troubles.
Love and Blessings to All,
Sable (aka Karin)
