Bill's health update



Bill's recent surgery showed that the cancer has spread. They found a mass in the chest cavity that proved to be malignant. We are waiting for a Pet Scan in December, based on the newest findings they will provide a clinical round of chemotherapy to the lungs or liver once the cancer develops a further mass. Right now we wait. :( He does pretty good though, excluding the fifty pounds he has lost, he can still do the work of ten men. We decided to use this blog to update his health, after all this is the reason we continue on... This store was built with love for a future, even though we were unclear of the time allowed, one day it will be my solace. Bill helps me every day as much as possible. He battles constant fatigue and severe muscle spasms. He has some swallowing issues, but we have learned what goes down and what doesn't. A hospital bed helps his angle of sleep be more comfortable, since he can no longer lay flat. Cancer isn't the real pain, it is the truth that comes with it~ Don't kid yourself, there are days that make it so unbearable, the only thing you can do is go forward, and love with all your heart and soul. So here we are, and yes we are a Mom & Pop, and proud of it. Look at our beautiful family! We've both had our careers and as you all know Bill was a Vallejo Firefighter for thirty-one years and a Captain the last eight. This cupcake store is my gift, built on a dream...
