Hello cutie friends....Things are not going great for Boomer...he is extremely depressed, has had numerous surgeries on his feeding tube which keep malfunctioning and they are currently trying to stretch the scar tissue in his esophagus as he has 90% obstruction due to the scar tissue from radiation......so far it has been unsuccessful. He has made an appt with Rush in Chicago for 2nd opinion on his cancer as the "mother" tumor in his throat has shrunk but is not gone....the one on the side of his neck appears to have gone though, so one sliver of good news. He was a very big man, but has lost 128#'s since July and depression is what I am super concerned with now. He has pretty much told me that there are no words to keep him positive right now, but I keep trying!! Please will all you prayer warriors keep him in your prayers.....You all are the best group ever and I thank you for all your support!! Much love to all!

So sorry to hear Boomer is having such difficulty and depression added to everything else is a huge hurdle... Keep doing what you are doing and let him know he has the Power of the Cuties behind him too!

Hi Vikki I am so sorry to hear Boomer is not doing well. He has been through a lot and he does not see the light at the end of the tunnel yet. My prayers are going up big time for him. Keep on doing what you are doing. Hugs to you all Suzanne

Hi Vicki, I'm so sorry to read about Boomer. I will certainly hold him up in my prayers and ask that God keep his spirits raised. It's so difficult for him to keep positive when so much is happening to his body. I'll pray for us all to uphold him and for us to think about how wonderful his art is. Thank you for being such a kind-hearted friend to him too. Love Chris

I am so sorry that he is feeling so down! Medical issues are so hard to deal with especially when things get so difficult for someone who is used to being so strong and independent! Prayers from PA!

My life has been rather busy of late and I guess I missed this news about Boomer. So sorry to hear about it and I pray he can get past this depression so he has the energy to keep fighting the cancer. I know you are doing your best and praying for you too.

I am sorry he is not feeling better. Being depressed makes things worse, but it is understandable. I most certainly will continue praying for him.

Adding the Boomer to my list. He has to get back to himself, so he can do some more of his wonderful art, clearly what he is meant to do with his life. So hoping that they can work out the minor issues, like the feeding tube, while they work on the major ones, depression, tumor, weight loss.

You know you have my prayers added too. I can understand he is tired. He has been fighting for so long. But that doesn't mean he should stop fighting to live. He has 2 good pieces of news and that is enough for me to have hope. Tell him he has dozens if not hundreds of people praying for him. I know it helped me to know that I had hundreds of prayers filling my room every day. I decided as tired as I was, I could not disappoint everyone so I continued to fight. And tell him the prayers also come with cyber hugs. Please keep us informed.
