Todd's Journey

The story of my cancer journey

The Journey's End

- Posted in The Journey by with comments

It is with great sadness that I write this final update; Todd passed away early this morning. He passed peacefully, in our home with his babies.

While it has been a difficult journey and one that ended far sooner that it should have, Todd and I had an amazing life together filled with experiences and cherished memories that few get to have. In our final moments together he told me that he had no regrets, but it was his time.

Though my heart aches, Todd is finally at peace and he will no longer be in pain.

Thank you all for your love, support, thoughts and prayers.

Just a quick update to let everyone know that Todd is home. He is comfortable and sleeping while being cared for by the ever attentive Nurse Greta.

The long road

- Posted in The Journey by with comments

It was little more than a year ago when Todd and I found out that he had cancer. This was the start of a long, undulating roller coaster ride filled with ups and downs, highs and lows, both physical and mental. Throughout this journey, Todd has had to fight every step of the way. He has overcome countless setbacks and obstacles, and he has done so with the strength and tenacity that we all love him for.

Unfortunately we have been given the news that Todd's journey is coming to an end. There is no more that can be done. For those of you who are sharing Todd's journey and fighting your own battle, do not despair. Everyone's journey is different; while Todd's may be ending sooner than we had hoped, that does not mean yours will.

Todd is currently at the Winchester District Memorial Hospital being cared for. We are working with the hospital to get Todd comfortable enough to return home where he can cuddle his babies (Greta, Boba and Brand) and we can spend more time together.

We will be making arrangements for friends and family to visit Todd at home, and will be reaching out with details soon.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, prayers and support now and throughout this journey.
