Living with Stage IV Neuroendocrine Cancer
bochnerblog
An honest, personal look at living with incurable Stage IV cancer — sharing updates, treatments, setbacks, humor, and hope along the way.
This blog started as a way to keep our family and friends updated after Paul was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroendocrine Cancer. What began as “let’s make sure everyone knows what’s going on” quickly turned into a place to document the whole ridiculous, terrifying, exhausting, sometimes hopeful, sometimes infuriating ride of living with a rare, incurable cancer.
You’ll find medical updates here, but in normal-people language as much as possible. Scans, surgeries, treatments, side effects, doctor opinions, confusing decisions, insurance nonsense, emotional spirals, cautiously good news, not-good days, and the occasional pee-jug disaster… because the only way to get through this is embracing the humorous moments.
We are not doctors. We're just Paul and Dayna, sharing what we’re learning, what we’re going through, and how we’re trying to keep living in between all the appointments, procedures, symptoms, and “what the hell now?” moments.
Our hope is that this blog keeps the people who care about us in the loop, helps anyone dealing with NET Cancer feel a little less alone, and gives a brutally honest look at what this life can look like — the scary parts, the funny parts, the grateful parts, and the parts we’d all very much like to return to sender.
Thanks for being here, checking in, sending love and riding this rollercoaster with us.
🖤 Paul + Dayna
