Towards the end of this glorious summer I began to experience pain in my "tailbone". A bone scan last week and subsequent CT scan this week have confirmed the presence of cancer in the bone at the base of my spine. Another event to file under the banner "CANCER SUCKS".
Things had been looking pretty good up until this point. My spring scans and bloodwork were all good. C'est la vie!
I'm not too sure what's ahead at this point but the hope is that there will be a treatment plan to include some combination of radiation and chemo. I'm waiting now to hear from the BC Cancer Agency to begin the process.
During my last time of treatment, 2007, I posted regularly to this journal as a way of keeping family and friends informed of my progress and of sharing some reflections and resources related to living with cancer. I haven't posted for the last 2 years but with this new stage of the journey I'll begin posting again.
Peace and blessings...
Rob

Greetings from the North Shore Rob! Your news has arrived @ Highlands UC.....sorry to hear that your journey with Cancer is continuing. Knowing you, you will continue to fight! With your strong faith, supportive family & friends you will suck up all this energy & conquer the demon.
