Candace's Story
Going backwards;
As of this day, my husband Robert has just came home from the hospital after a 5 week stay. He has metastasized prostrate cancer. He had prostrate cancer in 2000, and had radiation seeds implanted in his prostrate which killed off the cancer. But now we are dealing with the stray cells. The cancer destroyed his T2 and T3 vertebrae. He was lucky he was not paralyzed. They took out the vertebrates and inserted a titanium cage to support the spine. He starts radiation on June 23. This is not a curable cancer and it is very aggressive.

My husband and I are raising our autistic grandson Brandon, the light of my life. He is ten and plays baseball with the Little League Challenger Team. He and I have tickets to see the Astros play the Boston Red Sox. He roots for whoever hits the ball, but he will be wearing his little league team outfit, which is the Boston Red Sox! We will be taking a new friend we met in Papa's rehab center, since Papa is not a fan of baseball. His roommate is a veteran, and has kidney failure plus congestive heart failure. He is really a sports fan though and Brandon connected with him immediately, although he has a reputation as a grouch:) The game is on the 28th so I will upload a picture of our motley crew. oh, by the way , I go by Rose legally, instead of Candace, I chose to have my grandmother's name and changed it in court.
My late husband, he passed away from cancer on October 2nd.
