We heard Saturday nite that Dale was diagnosed with colon cancer. He went to Midwest Regional Medical Center in Ill. for surgery Monday, I've been waiting for an E-mail.

So I thought I would put this link on so people could see how he is doing & you can also send him some words of incouragment...

July 25, 2005 at 09:56 PM CDTDale was diagnosed with colon cancer in July 2005. He came to Midwest Regional Medical Center on July 14, and remains a patient at this time (July 25, 2005) He had surgery on July 25, 2005, having part of his colon removed. We haven't gotten the lab results back yet, so don't know if he will have to have chemo or any other treatment after surgery, but he will be here for at least 7-10 days, maybe more.

The surgeon says the surgery was successful, and the tumor was fully removed. His prognosis is good. He is in a lot of pain at this time, but that is to be expected, and he is receiving adequate pain meds and proper care. We are hoping for better days to come and hope to be home in MO soon !!!


2 July 27, 2005 at 10:49 AM CDTSorry I missed updating yesterday. It was a hectic day and not a really good one at best!! Dale ran a temp and had a lot of congestion (maybe pneumonia, don't know yet). I stayed Monday night, had to sleep in the activity room because he had a room mate, so I went to the resort last night and didn't sleep there either !! I couldn't reach out and touch him or walk down to his room to make sure he was being taken care of. That really isn't a problem. We would recommend this place to anyone who has any kind of cancer. The doctors are wonderful, the staff will bend over backward to get done what you want and they have treated the family as well as they do the patient.

He's doing some better this morning, still has the congestion, but no temp so far, had to take a walk to get things "moving" for him. He's on a pain pump, had a stomach pump and a wound drain.

Thanks for all of the good thoughts and prayers. They're working and we appreciate each and every one!!

To our kids.............we love you all, we miss you more than you know and to our grandkids..........grandpa said to get ready to take a ride in the cart as soon as he can get home and get motivated enough to start it up and endure the bumps in the road !!! We love you and miss you very much ! To our friends...........we love you as well and appreciate all you have done !!!!

I'll try to update again tomorrow !!! Have a wondermous day !!!




 
Thanks to Kenny and Lisa for posting this. We went to our last race at SFCR for a while this past Saturday night, left for northern IL on Sunday and don't know how long we will be here. Dale had surgery on Monday. He isn't doing as well as was expected, but he's a strong man and will pull through this.

For anyone interested, I have set up a web page for updates on his condition. It is http://www.carepages.com . When you log onto the page, it will ask you to register, then put in "dalescancerpage" (no spaces or anything else, just the straight words). I have given permission for all to access the page and would love to hear from anyone who has something positive to say to Dale. I print out the guestbook each day for him and read it to him in the evening.

Thanks !!

Linda Resinger
