I have stage 3 rectal cancer that metasiszed to the colon and had and emergency permanet colostomy. 3 years later my cancer spead to my arota and cut off circulation to my r leg and had to have an amputation. I cannot wear it because of all the pain in my stump. I am still alive after chemo with radiation which gave me third degree burns of the vagina. Vagina healed from the burns but closed. Had surgery but uable to open vagina again. I thank my lucky stars everyday for my man Gary. We had only been together for 1 year when we moved bought a house and a bar and 3 months later I was diagnosed. Gary took care of me the house and ran the bar! Renarkable man. He learned how to run a business which he had never done before... He learned to cook and prtty good I must say/ He was patient with me and kind. Last year he was diagnosed withpolyhemachritosis. He manufactures too manyred blood cells.This caused him to goint liver failure which in turn caused his kidneys and heart to fail. He was also diagnosed with ALZHIEMERS! We are both on total disability and he is only53! We have many good friends and lots of prayers We are living each day to the fullest~

You and Gary are two remarkable people. You are an inspiration by living each day to the fullest, while facing daunting, daily challenges.
Thank you for sharing your personal experiences with us. I will keep you and Gary in my prayers. I have learned the amazing power of prayer in my own life.
