This will be the last update 💜🙏 Marc peacefully lost his battle with cancer at home at 3:36 early Saturday morning March 1st with myself and his children and close family members by his side, after saying the Rosary and the prayer The Last Agony he was the carried out of his home through a line of his children and close family while the song In the Arms of an Angel was softly played! He was my life time partner and gave me 11 beautiful children that became my army of soldiers 💜 Thank you all for your kind messages and support God Bless you all!

Marc's update 2/16/2025 sorry for the delay we will be updating every Sunday.

Marc is finally home, he is a lot more relaxed and comfortable although still in a lot of pain from the cancer mastitising into the bone.

2/14/2025 he went to the radiation oncologist and got his one time radiation shot, this is a non live radiation specifically for cancer that has mastitised into the bone, hopefully he will get some relief from the pain,they said it could be up to a week

On Wed 2/19 he has a appointment

With the surgeon & wound Dr

if his bacteria is cleared up they will be putting a Chemo port in and Thursday the 20th he will start his journey with Chemo! Thank you all for the prayers and the support!

Marc recently has been having some back pain that has been causing him some discomfort. He was taken in for a MRI for possible disc degenerative or to see if the cancer has metastasized to his lower back. On Monday February 3rd, Marc went in and found out that he has a bacterial infection where his incision is. This news has unfortunately pushed back placing the chemo port and starting his chemotherapy by at least one week. February 6th, earlier this morning we got back the results for the PET scan which shows that the cancer has metastasized to his hip bones and is working its way down his femur. His oncologist sent a request to get radiation started as soon as possible and got him transported by ambulance to Saint Joes' Regional hospital to manage his pain until they can start the process of radiation. At this point it is still unknown when we can get the chemo port inserted.

Yesterday, Thursday January 30th, Marc had his appointment with his oncologist to go over his biopsy results. Marc's cancer is stage 4. On February 3rd Marc will have another PET scan done as well as getting his chemo port placed. When Marc is recovered enough from his surgery, they plan to start his chemotherapy treatment and continue every 2 weeks for 6 months. Marc will be staying in the rehabilitation center until he has gone through a couple of his chemotherapy treatments. Thank you all so much for your continued thoughts and prayers!

Marc has had a pretty rough last 19 days. Sunday January 19th, he had surgery to remove the tumor and it was a success. He recovered in the hospital until the following Friday, till he was stable enough to be transferred to a rehabilitation center. Since his surgery, he has only been able to eat ice chips and swish his mouth with water. Yesterday, Saturday January 25th he was able to eat solids for the first time in 2 weeks! Our goal now is to get him healthy and strong enough to be able to start his treatment. We will be getting his biopsy results this Tuesday the 28th and then an appointment Thursday with his oncologist.  As you all know, our daughter Elizabeth is also fighting this horrible disease. She is so amazing and strong and has been such an inspiration to the family. Thank you all again for your prayers and uplifting words. God Bless You all,

Thank you all who have donated, and everyone who has kept my dad and our family in your prayers. I wanted to give an update on my dad.

Yesterday, my dad's pain became unbearable again. The doctors decided to have more testing done, along with another CT scan where they found the tumor in his colon needed to be removed asap. He is scheduled for surgery this morning to remove tumor and I will do another update once we know more. Thank you!
