Kicking cancers ass, one day at a time
The first radiation treatment is done! Josh said it didn’t take long, he said he listened to one song, a commercial, and part of another song on the radio. He did say the headcast he has to wear during the radiation is so tight he can’t even open his eyelids. I wasn’t able to go …

Fridays appointment with the ortho pa went well. We really liked him. Basically all he did was explain the surgery to us and try to decide when a good time to do it would be. He doesn’t want us to put it off long because Josh is at a big risk of it popping back …
Hey guys! I just wanted to let everyone know that I am at home now, and am doing well. I get really tired quick and easy but I guess that’s expected and my body is just healing. I wanted to give everyone a perspective on things now, from MY point of view. on January 8th, …
