Best we can do is thoughts and prayers. In many ways your life has prepared you for this battle too. Good thing, I hear C isn't easy at all.
And a big thank you for your service.

My Cousin-in-law Ronal Langseth is fighting hard against Cancer down in Valdez. He treasures every day. He follows the notion of kicking cancer's ass. I hope you do as well!

I want to thank everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers. I’ve had a couple of rough days. I never mentioned that my cancer is in the stomach in an area called the duodenum, the area before the small intestine. The opening has reduced in size to about 10 mm, so I have been on a pureed diet for the past 4months. I’ve lost over 50 lbs an I’m all skin and bones. On Wed there going to do an endoscope and balloon the closure and expand it 13 mm if they can.
If anybody has a recipes for turning a steak into a liquid that’s drinkable I’m all for it.
Thanks again
