It was a blast while it lasted

My 5 months off of chemo has been great for all, but the last month and a half. I have camped, rode ATV's, hunted, spent time with friends and family, and generally lived a good life. Towards the end here though, I have struggled to manage the bowels (stupid colon cancer) and somehow ended up hurting my back (bulging 2 disks) and I have been miserable. Lots of pain pills, which adds to issue #1 see above.

I am in therapy and I have gotten shots, but the pain does not stop. To make matters worse, I went in to get my standard 2 month pet-scan and the results came back yesterday. The cancer has spread all over. It is now on my lungs, its over 1/3 of my liver again, lymph nodes and some in the back area which could be making my back pain worse. They have me on some Oxycontin and some Oxycodone for quick relief, but I still am uncomfortable. This of course will mess with the bowels even worse, so I am trying to drink lots of water to stop this issue.

I wish it would not have exploded out like this, it now makes me question the time off and I don't want to do that. I had a great time and I don't want this to be my last blast so to speak. I am quite depressed and guess that I cant think out more than 6 months again for goals. Hopefully the chemo will provide some relief and kick some ass like it did last time.

As always, thanks for reading and caring, it means a lot to me,

Jeff

PS: Sorry for the drugs influence on my writing, the pain doesn't make concentrating any easier.
