Although Tony and I could see it in the doctor’s eyes at his appointment last week, Friday night at dinner time we got the call that Tony has rectal cancer. And while we both kind of saw it coming and had a couple days to digest it, I know both of us were hoping for better news. We’ve decided that our mantra is going to be: “Fuck Cancer!”
Not gonna lie, Friday night was rough – we had a pity party for two! But we woke up Saturday with a positive purpose. We don’t exactly know what we are dealing with, other than he has a cancerous tumor. Today we go to a hospital in Chicago where they will do an ultrasound to figure out the exact size and depth of the tumor.
We both are going to rely heavily on our sense of humor to get us through this. All weekend Tony would say something like “can I have a glass of iced tea? I have ass cancer!” And I, who never replaces the toilet paper, replaced it yesterday and as I was walking the toilet paper into the bathroom, I pointed it out to Tony and said “I am replacing this because you have ass cancer!”
Thanks for all your well wishes prior to this diagnosis and keep sending your positive thoughts our way – we can use all the help we can get!
Hugs!
Biz and Tony
You guys will be in my thoughts and prayers. Love your positive attitude! Fuck cancer indeed!!!
Oh honey, I’m so sorry you and tony have to go through this but i know your humor and love will get you through the rough times! my thoughts are with the both of you!
Definitely keeping good thoughts for you both. I know you can get through this especially with the LOVE and LAUGHTER you both share. My mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer so I know what ya’ll are going through. It SUCKS the big one. Hugs coming your way and I know we haven’t met yet but I’m here if you need anything, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.
I don’t even know what to say right now, but just know that you guys are in my thoughts and prayers and Tony, you WILL beat this!!!!!
Hugs & happy thoughts to you, Tony, Joe & Hannah. 🙂 I just sent you an email – fuck cancer is right!
prays to you both, and nice mantra haha
That totally sucks! You are both added to my prayer list. I know with your positive attitude and yes, that awesome sense of humor you have that you can get through this.
Praying for the best outcome and your strength to be a strong support for Tony.
So sorry to hear this Biz. You two are strong and can handle it, and know that you have the support of the blogging community behind you!
This goes without saying, but keep us all posted! (Especially if he has to go in for an assectomy.)
Will be praying consistently for you both! May God’s love and peace surround you!
Fuck Cancer indeed! So sorry to hear this, but confident you and Tony will give cancer hell and send it packing.
Oh Biz. I am so sorry. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. And I think Fuck Cancer is an AWESOME motto!
omg! you guys will be in my prayers!
Oh Biz and Tony! I’m so sorry for the news but it sounds like you have a good ass-kickin attitude ready. Good luck and wishing you a speedy recovery – and if there is ANYTHING I can do to help, please let me know! Oh yeah – and FUCK CANCER!
OMG, Biz! I am so sorry, but, you know what ~ your mantra and positive attitude is going to BEAT THIS! One of my Best Friends in the whole wide world was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer 1 1/2 years ago (she was only 34 at the time) and she is STILL BEATING it to this day. She has proven to me that a positive attitude and taking care of yourself can make all the difference in the world. Her mantra is “kickin’ cancer to the curb” and she is doing that.
My thoughts and prayers go out to both of you, but, I know with all my heart, Tony will beat this!
Hang in there ~ send hugs, smiles and some California Sunshine your way!
XOXO,
Danica
Yep, come out fighting! Fabulous attitude. 🙂 Hugs and my very best wishes for a trouncing of that ‘ass villain’! Sending you lots of good vibes.
Omg, my eyes were tearing up as I read this. I can feel how much you love him and he loves you in your writing. I recently left an unhappy relationship and was reunited with my true love who I’d met 17yrs ago. Everyday I wake up and thank gawd for her and everyday I worry about her safety( she is a police officer) and I worry that I’ll lose her. I just feel so bad for you, but as you said, a positive attitude is so important. I’m keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Wow is all I can say. I’m so sorry to hear about Tony. BUT your humor will for sure get you through this. You guys are an awesome team! Sending good juju your way!
Thoughts and good vibes heading your way from me. I’m sorry to hear the news 🙁 I do like the FUCK CANCER approach though, because seriously, FUCK CANCER>
Sorry to hear this, Biz & Tony! I know you’ll get through it with humor, but with great strength, too. Tony, you can tell that ass-cancer to go straight down the shitter! Thoughts and prayers headed your way.
