Never give up and never lose Hope!
Bob began his cancer fight in 2008. While a diagnosis of stage IV Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma did not instill a sense of optimism in our family, we decided to put forth a brave face and allow a “come what may”attitude. We didn’t expect so much “May” to come.
Two weeks after diagnosis and a PET Scan, we received more devastating news. We discovered that cancer had already spread to the lymph nodes in the neck and there was a tumor in his chest. That changed his stage from IV to IVC, which is the last stage of the final stage. There is no stage V! His oncologist said he would be a happy man if he could get Bob even one year, considering how advanced the cancer was and that the average survival time was 6-7 months.
