Hello everyone! This is the one, the only, Schwank! I'm writing you from the place where I am receiving my treatments, the Siteman Cancer Center. It really is a nice place...or at least as nice as it possibly can be. However, since Ma and I have walked out to this computer so I can say hello to all of you, my Infusion "dripper thing" won't stop beeping at me!! I keep pushing buttons on it, to quiet it, and that seems to be working. Im sure Donna, my nurse (or angel as I am referring to her as), will tell me I screwed something up on it. However, I think you could punch her in the mouth and she would still look at you with that smile and say something sweet to you in her soft-spoken voice.
I just wanted to say thank you...all of you, who I know, and to those I have never met. This is an experience that NO ONE ever wants to go through! Jim Vieth-I would love to chat with you. You said that it is Family, Friends, God, and those who have walked this path before that will get you through this. Now I know it!
God never gives anyone more than they can handle. I've asked a million questions as to why? I am not glad that I have cancer...at first it made me angry! Now I am glad, it has shown me the true hearts and souls of God's people. It has brought me back to HIM. As much as it angers me to say, I lost my God Path. The Lord sometimes does things to bring us back, to open our eyes and to see that He is still in control. Those are the times that there are only one set of Footprints In the Sand. We never do it on our own, we just think we are. God did not GIVE me this cancer. But God is using it to bring me back to Him.
As my Ma wrote in an earlier blog, no one knows what good will come of this. Or when. Or where. But in our hearts we know that it will. This is my second day as a Cancer Patient. I can not wait to join those like my Grandma Schwentker, Deb Gilbert, Deb Dizerega, Jim Vieth, my close friend Jason Law, and many many others who have traveled this road before, and be a Cancer Survivor.
God Bless all of you. The power of prayer is unbeleivable!
Godspeed,
Schwank

What's up big guy? Long time no talk. Just wanted to wish you well and let you know we're praying for you. When you're feeling up to it, let's go fishing. I'll even buy you a cheeseburger.
Hey kiddo,
Keeping a good thought for you and yours. Keeping you at the top of my prayer list, (even above Zach), he only has a broken shin bone.
It's funny how God gets your attention. He pulls that rug right out from under us. I've too have felt that tug!
Let us know when you will be able to have visitors. Would like to check in with you.
Love, JC
