Ed's Journey: April 2011
http://edsjourneynow.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Life is worth living.even with a brain tumor! Friday, April 22, 2011. Thinking about Krista and her Numbers. When Ed was diagnosed with a GBM (glioblastoma multiforme), I immediately began doing research on the internet. I was happy to find information regarding the disease, but not so happy to see the treatment options, the side effects of treatment, the statistics for survival. Krista's brain tumor didn't come back. Not exactly. But what it did do, was relocate to her spine. Earlier this ye...As sad as...

Life is worth living.even with a brain tumor! Saturday, August 6, 2011. Five Things I Wish I Could Tell Ed Today. If I could see Ed again for a few minutes, these are the five things I would tell him. 1 Everyone is okay. Yes, we miss you like hell. But we have learned to deal with the sadness better and we are actually doing okay! 2 You're a Great Grandfather! You have a great grandson and he is wonderful. He would have loved to sit in your lap and you would love to hold him! 3 We all love you.

Life is worth living.even with a brain tumor! Wednesday, April 2, 2014. Son, Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, Friend. How we do miss you! You have been gone from us four years now. Not a day goes by that we don't speak of you, remember you, think of you. You left behind much to remind us of you. The things you said. The things you did. The things you made. You were a man of few words, but your actions made a deeper impact on us than any amount of words could have. Trod the...

Ed's Journey: Happy Birthday Ed!
http://edsjourneynow.blogspot.com/2014/03/happy-birthday-ed.html
Life is worth living.even with a brain tumor! Thursday, March 27, 2014. March 28, 2014 would have been Ed's 68th birthday. We used to celebrate with a cake and ice cream, maybe a meal, and some gifts. Ed was always teasing me that I was trying to 'catch up' with him when I had my birthday a couple of weeks before his, and I'd tease back that he would have a birthday to stay just ahead of me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Brother and Sister Visit. Ed gets love from James and Shirley.

Ed's Journey: January 2012
http://edsjourneynow.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Life is worth living.even with a brain tumor! Thursday, January 12, 2012. Ed gets attention from older sister, Janie. When someone we love dies of a horrible, seemingly senseless illness, accident, occurrence.we tend to want to blame someone. Perhaps, we can blame someone whom we feel caused our loved ones death by being negligent, careless, reckless, or uncaring. Or maybe the environment played a part in causing his/her death. He worked with chemicals or dangerous tools. I blamed his doctors and the dru...

Life is worth living.even with a brain tumor! Friday, November 26, 2010. Ed, What Were You Thankful For? Chuck, me and Ed, December 2009. Each year, during this holiday, I reflect on the things I am most thankful for. My family, my friends, my home, car and job. Health and financial stability are always at the top of the list too. But now I wonder, what was Ed thankful for? I am sure he was thankful for the means by which he came about getting his operation, his treatments and his medications. They w...

Ed's Journey: October 2012
http://edsjourneynow.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Life is worth living.even with a brain tumor! Monday, October 29, 2012. Quantity vs. Quality. I read an article in the April/May 2012 edition of the magazine Neurology Now titled Antiepileptic Drugs for Treating Brain Tumors? By Andrea King Collier (pg. 13-15). This article states that the average survival rate for glioblastoma patients is 15 months. Ed found out he had the brain tumor in November, 2008. He lived till April, 2010. So he lived about 16 months after diagnosis. Did his anti-...Picture Windo...
