Cancer sucks! I'll see what I can do to help support you in your ride! Take pictures to share all along the way!

Our bit of new news is that my sister Michelle was told yesterday that she has rectal cancer. We're not sure what stage it's at yet but we're hoping they caught it super early. A bit of a shock as she's just 27 years old. Chemo and radiation are the most likely options for treatment. We'll keep you all posted.

ok Kev, so if Pat can show everyone his moustache, then you can show us the chicken legs and beer belly. In fact, show us two pictures......I want close-ups of each.

On a sadder note, these are Ford traits....no calves, and adipose storage areas.

Michelle just got news that her tests went well yesterday, everything else is all clear so her cancer is Stage I :) She has an appointment next Friday with a radiologist oncologist I suppose to determine when to start chemo/radiation. More news to come then! Thanks for the prayers!

Hi All
Just reading all of this. Nikki, please tell Michelle we are thinking of her and yes age is on her side. We will all be praying for a speedy recovery. Kevin, I am really proud of you. I will see what I can also do to help support you. I think you should take a before biker bod pic and an after biker bod pic. Should be interesting.

Bochsler Family Update

By
Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...

Remembering Sean

By
The remaining Barrys. This picture was taken at Sean's funeral. Sean's absence is definitely felt. The last time I saw Sean, was about a year ago, the end of March '06. My husband, Brian and I showed up unannounced at his place and he graciously entertained us. If he had other plans, he never mentioned them. My brother, Brian has a pub in Camrose, AB. Sean apparently would stop in daily and drink coffee, wanting to stay in touch. Brian had a new year's eve party a couple of month previous, so I asked Sean if he'd gone. He said no, he'd quit drinking and realized that a new years eve party would probably not be conducive to achieving his goals. He'd also recently quit smoking. I remember thinking that was a lot to give up all at once, but of course didn't want to say anything to discourage him. Sean also had a dream to buy himself all new camping gear and go on a camping trip. This he did at the end of the summer. After achieving his goals, his heart gave...
