Emotionally tough weekend. There's no good way to learn that you have cancer, but finding out about it at 4:30 on a friday afternoon before a long holiday weekend leaves you with a lot of time to wonder. I'll be glad to get the first scan done to find out for sure if this has spread.

I think I'm going to take the advice of folks on here, and go to the Lombardi/Georgetown CCC. We have family just a few miles from there, so my wife could probably bring our little Maltese, and our baby boy, to camp out with family while I get treated.

It's been a long time since I felt heartache like this. My emotions keep swinging between positive and gloomy. On the plus side, this is making me appreciate my wife, Mary, even more by the minute. I look at our little boy Austin a little differently too. When things get tough, I'll remember them as the reason to fight hard.

Thank you all for your support. It helps.
