Can't say it enough. THANK YOU
Now that I have had a week to reflect on Shannon’s benefit I wanted to get a post out about it. It was one of the top three days in my life. [...]

Hulk or Deadpool?
Sorry about the radio silence of late. My last two rounds of chemotherapy were pretty brutal as the side effects were cumulative. It felt like my energy was getting sapped as each day passed. I stopped feeling like me and felt more and more like a lump. [...]

Treatment Options and You…
First know that I appreciate your concern. There is no one else, save maybe Shannon’s parents, siblings or my parents that want a healthy Shannon more than me. The only thing I want is for Shannon to get better and I know that you do as well. (Oh, and for the Wild to win a Stanley Cup, but it is second place to Shannon, close second…)[...]

Quick update from Bill on Shannon & Miss Shannon's Cancer Benefit
Just a quick note on Shannon and some exciting announcements about the benefit on May 15, 2016.
I think Shannon and I would call it a small victory that we didn't need an urgent care or emergency room visit and or a trip to the hospital during this last round of chemo. It was pretty rocky but just being able to manage it all at home and not have to make a trip anywhere feels like progress. Shannon is feeling better each day with this week being her off week from chemo. Her next and hopefully last round of this chemo is scheduled for 4/18. Then we will see what the docs say. The ole wait and see game.[...]

A little set back, but I’m back on track…
Been a little quiet here on my Posthope updates, sorry for the radio silence. I admit the past few weeks seem like a blur. After round 2 of chemo I just didn’t feel right. It was my first course with the additional chemo drugs added to my regimen and the side effects were pretty tough. The cold neuropathy was bad enough and definitely worse than before. We called the clinic and they told us to come in. After a few test I was readmitted to the hospital for observation due to some of my symptoms and difficulty managing a few of the new side effects. [...]

How You Can Help
After an emergency room visit on 2/20/16 and a battery of tests, doctors confirmed that Shannon has a locally advanced cancer in her lower abdomen. Now that treatment has started and a general plan is in place, Shannon and I are looking at how this cancer diagnosis is affecting us financially. [...]

A word from our sponsor…
Be forewarned, not all kittens andbaby foxes in this post.
I feel that I finally have a moment to catch my breath and put a few thoughts out there. Since February 23rd I haven’t felt like I have had more than a moment to catch my breath and even as I write this I know there is a list of things that fall into the everything else category that need to get done. However, I wanted to put a few thoughts of my own out there about the last 24 days and what the future looks like.[...]
