AC AND JC

The blog has suffered the past week while my wife has been on vacation in Va. I have been spending a lot more of my time cooking and taking care of cats and the house. I have also been doing my daily chores with Brother Harold, but have not been noting them here.

I have been going with Brother Harold (BH) each day to visit AC, and continue to check on his prostate. Apart from the initial finding of some cancer cells in the prostate, we have not found any additional ones anywhere else.

I have been talking with AC daily. I did make two suggestions on Saturday. First, I suggested another PSA blood test be done in ten days. Second, I suggested that he begin chemotherapy to play it safe. This is the first time in two years that cancer has returned after Brother Harold has finished cancer treatment of a patient. Obviously, this is an aggressive, unpredictable cancer, and it is doing things we have not seen before.

Yesterday I received a call from JC, a 42 year old man who does very hard work. He was in bed, resting and felt dehydrated. We went to see him the next morning and found a lump of living matter in his chest. It was either a group of bacteria or viruses; BH went after it aggressively to kill it all. It took about 8 minutes to accomplish, which indicates how strong the material was. Without BH’s help, JC would have been looking at a long illness.
