My termination from Serco after 9 years

If you are following this blog, then you understand that we don’t know how much time I have left – which can be tonight or some date in the near or late future. What we do know is that there is no cure, and the doctor works only to stabilize and give me a painless lifestyle – up to this point that has meant being bed ridden except for trips to the clinic and my stays in the hospital. A key to my success, after all the chemo and other "out there experiments," is to keep my morale up - to allow me hope. I was delivered a devasting blow last week. It was sent by Fed Ex and required a signature. It was scanned to show the original, but names were omitted. If you would like to respond after reading the following termination letter, you can leave your comments here. You need not sign them. Later, I will express what it did to me. Just click on the thumnail image of the letter, and it will take you to a full-size copy of the letter. - Frank

A good week.

Frank's doctor visit and testing last week culminated in a declaration that Frank's body is in balance. The word remission was used; however, the meaning here is more of a delicate balance that Frank is enjoying at this time. Frank remains in good spirits, focused, and hopeful.

A busy holiday; a tough week; a celebration of life.

Frank had a good holiday season and Christmas with visits from family and friends. He also enjoyed a Christmas Eve Mass with fellow Priests & family. Unfortunately, last week marked the return of pneumonia, and Frank found himself returning to the hospital each day for intravenous antibiotics. Today, Sunday, he is feeling much better, and he Baptized his newest granddaughter, Zoe. Frank is very anxious to get back to the doctor this week to discuss future treatment plans.
