Having been through this ordeal almost three years ago, I know exactly the same range of emotions you have just experienced. There’s no way to sugar-coat it: it sucks. The key thing here is that you noticed something was wrong, and you acted. You would be surprised to hear of how many times young guys with a diagnosis like ours wait for days, maybe months before doing anything. Just like any other cancer, the earlier you catch it, the easier and more successful the treatment will be.

I have told you before that I am here for you for whatever you need, be it questions about the treatment, doc recommendations, or even the mental number cancer does with your psyche (which is something oncologists tend to forget). The same goes for Denise –I know all too well the burden this is on the caregivers. Feel free to call me or Brooke, 24/7.

Lastly, I want to say that you will pull through this. I like your “take no prisoners” approach to this. We’re here for you, Bro.

Oh, Jason…I am so sorry for this ordeal. My heart hurts for all of you. I am happy that you are so loved and IN love, too. That really is all that matters in this world. None of us leave this world without some kind of challenge, and this may be a difficult road for you…but you have a lot of people who love you, and it is time to circle the wagons. I am glad you won’t have to face this alone.

What can we do for you? Anything…you name it–any time, any place, whatever we can do…

…milk shake run? Or beer run? A ride somewhere? Can we bring over some movies? Some Kleenex? A crockpot of food? You just let us know. We will do our best…

We love you! You are great. This sucks, but you will overcome. Keep writing…it will be cathartic, and help you get that shit out of your head. Nightie, night Babe.

Wow. I obviously knew little bits and pieces, but eep. :\ And I agree – you do have a pretty darn awesome wife!

Geez. That’s so crazy… I’m glad Denise was able to be there for you. She’s the best.

You got some balls writing something like this. In the end though, you will have a different outlook on things which will probably be for the better. Looking forward to reading nut chronicle part 2. See ya at work or give me a buzz when you can have a beer after all this.
