Why are you here? Well, because I have asked you to be, so you can be a part of those who are in the know about my situation and status. It’s not going to be pretty, but it’s happening, and you are special and loved enough that I’d want you to know about it. Please…

Why the long face?

Posted on March 10, 2024March 13, 2024 by Charles Spivak

So, it’s been a while, and I appreciate that you’re back here reading the continuing saga that is my life.  I wish it were under better circumstances, but I digress and I’ll just dive right into it. As you may have guessed, or have already heard or been told, the cancer is back for me. …

Less than a week to go!

Posted on November 14, 2021 by Charles Spivak

Yes, 5 more days and a sleep…more on that in a moment. It’s been a while, but that’s how it is in recovery, trying to wrestle any energy and motivation to do much of anything besides veg out and wish time went by faster until we’re all better. This part of my journey is going…

So there I was…

Posted on September 10, 2021November 5, 2021 by Charles Spivak

Again, sorry it has been quite some time since I updated my site. Certainly not from lack of want, but without going too far ahead, I can say that motivation to do much of anything for a while now has been at an all time low. Just biding my time…but I’m going to try and…

Posted on June 10, 2021June 10, 2021 by Charles Spivak

For those still checking, I am indeed still in the hospital recovering. Graduating to different levels of food intake, walking around when I can, and in general just getting used to things. Oh and then there’s the pain management…thats a process too. So I should be here likely until this coming Monday or Tuesday. I’ll…

Pre-Op Update

Posted on June 7, 2021June 7, 2021 by Charles Spivak

So I went in on Friday for my Pre-Op info and for them to make sure I knew what to expect. They ended up giving me an EKG to make sure my heart was ok, and took a bit of blood for other testing (I think this was all mostly for the extended anesthesia they…

How it all started…

Posted on June 2, 2021June 2, 2021 by Charles Spivak

So, this whole thing began around the end of Summer in 2019.  I had some sushi with friends, pretty much just tuna and salmon and I had the worst reaction, it was pretty bad.  I just thought it was food poisoning, though neither of the other people I was with had any reaction at all,…
