Tony hauling his case of nutrition to the car

Day 8… (one week post surgery) He’s out of the hospital. Crazy guy hauled his case of nutrition to the car.

Stitches were removed from the neck this morning.

Ouch! This is left leg where the free flap was removed. Stitches from the knee to the hip. The stitches in the leg will remain for another week.

He is looking forward to going home after we get prescriptions figured out at the VA pharmacy and stop for a quick visit with his brother, Scott.

Many people escape cancer. Some people battle only once in their lifetime. Then there is my Mr. Charming, surviving three, unrelated cancers.

The military decorates their soldiers with pins. I decided that it’s time to decorate my soldier.

Going through something hard? Give your family one place to follow along.

Telling hard news again on every call and every text wears you out. That's why we made this blog: one place for Tony's story, updates by email, and a simple way for friends to help. I built it with HBA's Funnel Builder by typing what I wanted in plain words. If your family is walking through something hard, you can have a place like this too.
