The Zim Family Cocker Spaniel Forum

This message came from Sue this A M. I posted the original story when they were first faced with this. Some of you might recall. They have 3 kids 11-14 now.

So...we found out this week Bruces cancer is back! 5 yrs ago they took his kidney, a year later a brain tumor, now it's in his other kidney. Complicated, yes, but surgery is set for 6 weeks with the goal to remove tumor and leave 75% function. Pray, pray, pray!!! And Pray some more! Thanks & love, Jan

I have already sent your request on to my Church family. If you remember we stormed heaven big time before. Please know we'll do it again.

Prayers on their way

Oh dear. Sending mega prayers that all will go well. They've had enough worry to last a lifetime already.

So sorry to hear this, Jan. I'll keep this lovely family in my heart.

Prayers on the way!

Thank you all so much! I always know I can count on you!
Remember that I am a Prayer also.
Bruces wife is my 3rd dau, they married & had their kids when she was past 30 & bruce near 40. The cancer struck him just mos. after they moved to Fl. from Mi.
After it moved to the brain & he had that surgery he was very ill & unable to work & applied fo SS dissability & recieved it for a couple of years & they had to re-evaluate which they did & decided he should be able to return to work & took away his SS the 1st of this year so he had a home repair business, doing odd jobs around the area where they live. He appealed the decision & was denied & now has to do it again. Sue is the food & drink manager at a local Golf course.
I don't know whether to cry or throw-up. I know that some of you know just what I mean. Thanks for being here, it helps. Love Jan

News from Fl. Bruce will be having robotic surgery a Lakeland Regional cancer ctr. on Monday 7/27. Tumors are small & outside the kidney so it should be fairly simple compared to the first one. We are praying for him & our fam & medical staff, & dietician & housekeeper &, well you all get my meaning. Right? Thank you for continued prayers & prayers said for all of you as well. Love Jan

As always, adding my prayers too.

I sure love my Cocker friends!!!

To all our wonderful friends,
Bruces surgery went just as planned & was smaller & simpler than
the 1st one 5 years ago, he will be home before the weekend.
It was a very long day for Susan, she is such a rock.
Thank you for prayers & "well wishes", sooo appreciated.
All of you are included in my prayers of thanks. Blessings & love Jan & all
