Sorry I have not written for a while.....There has been a lot of things going on here at the Torbeck ranch......Grandchildren visiting, summer house things to get done., Family reunion here (on Roger's side)...a business to run and Doctors appointments up the ying yang......
The thing now that is most important is that Roger can be pain free, but that cannot be done without help.....(drugs) of which he still does not like to take very much of. His arm seems to be better, after the botched cyotherapy/surgery thing at the VA and then radiation in Longmont, but then other things still creep up.....nausea, other places hurting....etc.....etc....
He is now back in Longmont with the help of Medicare and not the VA with Dr. Barnett (oncologist) for his medical needs.
He does have metastisis in areas of the spine, arm and ribs now. He is still trying so very hard to fight this off, but if any of you know him well enough, you must know that if the man has not played Golf since Feb. and not really drank his beloved Budweiser very much ..... he is just not feeling like the ole Roger Torbeck. He is still being a trooper and I know that act is for me.
Please know that he misses all of you and if you would like to come by or call it is very much welcomed by him and by me. You all mean so much to us and our life that we have shared for these years together.
I know that it is hard for some of you to understand the progression of this horrible disease so I urge you to go to ustoo.com. It should explain a lot of things that are happening with prostate cancer and maybe help some of you know what he is experiencing and will continue to experience.
It is a total bummer and we do not deny that. we all just have to make every minute count and that is not just a saying it is the TOTAL TRUTH.....beleive me, i know first hand.......we love you all, Roger and Dianne
