Bo Morris Journey with Colon Cancer: June 2014

Monday of this week, June 9 2014, labs were obtained and the CEA was crazy elevated. This led to a CT scan from head to lower abdomen. The results were surprising to say the least. The cancer in the liver has gotten bigger and several additional lesions were observed. The lung seemed to have several additional lesions as well. This changes the outcomes, at least the way I have hoped them to be. I suddenly remembered the statistics for survival with stage 4 colon cancer which happens to be 7-9% for 24-29 months. I must say that the word quality has a profound affect on my life at this moment.

Diet has helped change the way that I feel on a daily basis. This also has affected my quality of daily life. Juice plus supplements and shakes have proved adequate nutrients and the results have been more stamina and quicker recovery after chemo days. The chemo regime wastes a persons magnesium, calcium as well as potassium and often iv replenishment is required. Thus far the labs have been normal an no muscle, bone or renal damage observed.

My attitude toward this wrenching news, is one of not giving up the struggle to survive. I have a lot of energy and a God given will to live to the fullest. Defining living to the fullest is asking daily that the Lord will expand my understanding of Him so that His wisdom will enshrine in my heart. Living to the fullest brings to me a peaceful heart and a wonderful feeling of a healthy mind and body.

I continue to be active with photography and am now pursuing aerial photography with a drone quadcopter. Presently learning to fly safely, I will post some unique photos next time.
