Prayers for you tonight.  The Bible days a
He does all things for our good.  While I trust God, it's sometimes hard to grasp how that plays out in our lives.   But one thing is for sure; if you pass away, and we all will some day, you will be in Bis presence.  That's an amazing thought to consider.  While you are traveling this road, I will keep praying for you and your family.

Bo,

You are one tough MFer.  Thanks for keeping us in the loop.  I'm glad you felt better after getting some nutrition.  I think that's positive news that you finally have some fuel to fight back now.  Ask them to keep it coming and to do as much as they can to keep you nourished and rested.  Focus on nourishment and rest.  I believe if you do that, your body can gain the strength it will need to fight the side effects of the chemo and to keep you going until the tumors shrink and hopefully go away for good.  

How does this chemo treatment work?  Is there any way they can target the affected areas instead of poisoning you everywhere with the chemo drugs?  Have your doctors tried contacting the Cleveland Clinic for a second opinion and to see if they've had any success using specific, targeted treatments?  I'm a big believer in thinking outside the box and controlling your own destiny.  Take as much control over your situation as you can.  One thing I've learned in my short time on this earth is there are a LOT of medical professionals that just go through the motions, and although they might seem to care, they can be limited in their ability to think critically or actually care enough to truly fight for you in the way you would or a family member would.  I say question everything and seek the very best treatment this earth has to offer.
.
Also, your faith in God and your attitude towards your situation is truly inspirational!

YOU CAN KEEP FIGHTING THIS AND WIN!

I'll be praying for you and waiting for the next update.

Prayers for comfort and improvement so you can get into a trial or treatment.  I'm well aware of the ups and downs of a C diagnosis and everything that entails.

Bo?  Say it ain’t so…



Has anyone been able to confirm 100% if it’s him?

I was admitted to the hospital. After a couple of days and many tests, the doctors believe the cancer is causing the vomiting. Looking at the PET scan, the cancer is spread in a way similar to birdshot would be if I would have been shot in the stomach. They cannot remove it because there are so many small tumors spread out. I will be taking chemo to hopefully shrink the tumors and keep the cancer at bay.

One of the biggest obstacles to overcome in order to get chemo is to get some nutrients in me. They have been feeding me through my IV and today they put a feeding tube in. The tube was placed in a way that I will not vomit up the food that goes down it. In fact, they crushed a pill and mixed it with water then gave it to me via my new tube.

I feel so much better tonight after getting some nutrition. I had hit 110lbs on Monday morning, but my doctors were able to stop the decline and it seems I have gained a pound.

God is good and he is still in charge and on the throne. Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. It means so much to me.

Bo

Fuck cancer.

Rest in peace, Bo.  You will be missed greatly around here.  I won’t forget your story and your incredible bravery as it was truly an inspiration to the rest of us.

I hope his family finds peace as well.
