Current state: still fighting with rectum cancer, but chances for better quality of life
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/12
The below thread describes my current state; this is how the rest of the family is doing:
- Eega is almost recovered from surgery of a set of huge and smaller cysts; her cancer seems not to have returned
- Brother has his third big cold in 3 months time; hopefully it is not COVID-19; not much response from his caretakers. He is still very confused about the family situation and should get more care than the 6 hours a week he gets now (out of the entitled 15+) but requests for more care since 2017 have had no success
- Mom’s Alzheimer’s is progressing fast: she thinks I’m her brother and insists I should take care of the burden of her problems
This is a follow-up on Far less active on blog on social media: some personal things that need to be done. about a year ago, where I did not know what year would be ahead.

Very early in the morning the team had discussed the sigmoidoscopy results, as it looked like the tumor kept shrinking, despite 13 weeks after radiation therapy.
