Ryan is seeing the Head of Oncology Doctor on August 14th, please pray for him.
We are expecting that he will require more surgery but to what degree would be just a guess. The doctors he is seeing now have told him the operation will/could be extremly complicated. We pray not.
Ryan has had two other small surgeries since the last update and also has a pain pump implanted to assist with pain management. This pump has certainly assisted him but of course not covered at all through the current OHIP programs like so many other recommended prescriptions & treatments.
I have to say the frustration continues & grows. In this world you either need major health insurance, be rich or just don't get sick. It's amazing the existing programs exclude so much. So as we all get older, if you can afford the best coverage possible get it but make sure they don't have the many, many exclusions that exist today.
You guys have been generous, everywhere else you get doors slammed in your face or political crap. Ryan is still doing alternative medicine which certainly helps his mind set & the IV's he receives seems to give him some energy. It's your contributions that have allowed him to continue with these treatments.
