Default Chandler, my fishing buddy, and grandson update ........

Chandler is doing okay. He doesn't know that his life has been shortened by this cancer and we are trying not to let him know how bad it is because the Dr. said he doesn't need to know everything until he either asks about it, or he has recovered from the tumor surgery. They could not remove all of it, it has grown into his brain stem and there are too many risks involved to remove all of it the Dr. said. Lots of blood vessels attached also. He will have at least a year of Chemo by pill form and by shot. I feel like someone has knocked my feet out from under me once again. I don't really know how to keep taking all this bad luck and work has been calling me wanting to know when I am going to be through with his issue. During the MRI's, they have located 3 spots on his spine where it has leaked and another behind one of his eyes. Our daughter is exhausted and needs help with taking care of him very bad, we are trying to help as much as we can. I wish my work would've allowed me a few more days off so I could help more, but they made me feel like FAY was going to take us off the map. I hate putting this kind of update on the forum because I always try to be the bearer of good news, not sad news. Our daughter has created a website in his name for those who might want to visit and not that I am asking anything from you guys, but she has told me that there is also an account created in his name for those who want to donate to him. Please do not feel obligated to do so. I received so much support from all of you when we were trying to figure out what he might have wrong with him and I felt I owed all of you an update. I haven't forgotten any of you and I thank you again for your support. You are like one big family to us and we greatly appreciate all your help! I will work on getting the website address and post it on here for anyone who'd like to tell him hello.

Thanks again all of you!

Chris and Karen Anglin

Chris- Prayers are with you. Hang in there... I always have a hard time figuring out what to say at times like these but don't give up. Also, post up the website. I like to think that as a forum if we can raise money for softball we could all dig in our pocket a bit for this. God bless. JOE

Default RE: Chandler, my fishing buddy, and grandson update ........

Guys,

I spoke with our daughter and she has told me the account for Chandler is set up through Bank Trust and the branch is the one here in Freeport, Fl. The phone number to the branch is (850)-835-3335.The contact person's name is Carla Tompkins and they are open from 8:30am to 5:00pm Central Time. The account number is 104000104. The name of the account is: Chandler's Account. I am not at all begging for money from any of you, I am in high hopes that he will get a few donations to just help offset the costs of being out of town, but mainly any money received will be set aside in his account for him to use and when he can hold a smile on his face again, I know he will be so delighted to have received the donations from any of you that can. Please do not take this post as pressure to donate money. We would rather have a prayer sent to heal him and rid him of the cancer for good. I have learned over the years to not live for monetary things in life and to just cheerish life and all the loved ones in it. However, right now, Chandlers life is way more important to us than money, but this has caught us without notice and times are tough, I won't lie to you guys. I wish that anydonations that are made, I could one day pay them all back to you guys, but for now, all I can do is thank all of you for Chandler!

Also, there is actually a website set up for him and you have to go through a domain to get to it. The main website is:

www.caringbridge.org/visit/chandlerroulacand the password is the same: chandlerroulac, I don't think you have to enter this part though.

I hope that our daughter has posted lots of our fishing pictures on there for you all to see, if not, I'll have to get a bunch added. May God be with all of you!
