Another Day in the Life.....

Good afternoon campers! It is time for another installment of "My Ass is Collapsing". Boy this last week has been frigging unbelievable! Monday I had chemotherapy along with the usual radiation treatment. By Tuesday day I was falling apart! My gut was cramping, my ass was acting up and I was just miserable! I tell you folks I am looking forward to a colostomy bag! The doctors tell you to eat 5-6 meals per day to keep your weight up while you go through treatment. Well what they dont realize is that you have to have bowel movements too and when you get hemorrhoids EVERY time you have one it doesn't make your life any easier! My weight has stayed fairly consistent throughout so far, but yesterday(Wednesday) I spent the whole evening in my bathroom!
I don't pull punches on this blog. I tell it like it is. Every time I had to go I had to throw my body into the shower and then take a bath to let the swelling go down. Then I would collapse on the bathroom floor until the roids would come back because they werent staying put inside me! They kept wanting to make a repeat appearance...ALL NIGHT LONG! My poor wife! She has to look at me feeling like crap and there isnt really much she can do. Sorry babe! Wish this was over already! Soon enough though!
Like I said, I am ready for this colostomy bag! Are you kidding me? After a couple of months of this I am beginning to believe that my ass has been highly over-rated! I look forward to NOT having hemorrhoids! I look forward to NOT having radiation and chemo! I look forward to NOT sitting around my house feeling like crap! lol! So bring it on! Put me under, cut out what needs cutting and lets get this show on the road!
Shout out to everyone that has been following me on this journey into this crap! Cancer is not fun! If it was everyone would want some! Obviously this is not the case! No one wants this mess! Unforunately it is a disease that affects millions of people on a daily basis. I think I may have to do some kind of charity work to help others out while they go through this. Seems like the right thing to do anyways. Keep your heads up people! Whatever you're going through it could be worse! Stay strong and I will talk to you later!

Pains, Gains and Automobiles..................

Hello everyone! Hope this blog finds all of you well and in good spirits! I think I have to get back to work asap because just hanging around the house is driving me nuts! It is soo boring just hanging out here! Believe me there are some days where I am happy for the opportunity to take it easy and not move around too much! I am looking forward to the surgery! How crazy is that? Still haven't won the lottery yet...A few million dollars would make life ALOT easier in alot of ways! Probably be able to afford some experimental surgery that would save me from a colostomy bag! But in my research I have found no such surgery. The chemo last week kicked my butt a little. What is weird is that I am feeling soreness in my radiation area. I think I am frying my ability to father children! It feels like my "tubes" are getting fried! I guess it doesn't matter anyways because my wife is "fixed!" Who needs a vasectomy? Just fry the sperm into submission! I can father children still. They'll just have extra appendages! Maybe an arm growing out of their forehead so they can just shovel food into their mouths! Maybe a third eye for REAL 3-D vision! Poor little sperm! They were just minding their own business and my ass had to stab them in the back!
Today is Fathers Day so HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all of the Dads out there! My brother and I are taking our Dad out to dinner tonight. Just the 3 Becker men sitting around a table and B.S.ing. Should be entertaining! My Dad and I can compare what pills we are taking! Funny how we have this in common!
Going through this has opened my eyes to the fact that I need to be following my dreams a little bit more because no one lives forever and I need to be enjoying every day as if its my last. My wife is being so supportive during all of this. So are the kids. It must be strange for them on their side of this. Can't imagine what they think of all of this. My friends have been amazing. Some are a little put off by the cancer and don't know what to say, but for the most part they have been outstanding! Props to them!
Just remember that we only get one shot at this life and what you make of it is up to you. Period. If you aren't happy, do something about it! It's not rocket science people! It's life! Get a clue and do your thing! As long as you're not hurting anyone get up, get out and get to living! I am! As soon as this is behind me I am going to make some changes that will make me a happier person! I am already planning my strategy! Stay tuned! lol! It's only going to get more interesting as this goes along!

PEACE!!!
