Paul’s Story

Site created on August 1, 2018

Welcome to Pauls's CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

Paul was recently hospitalized with internal bleeding. After a few days we were informed that the cause of the bleeding was stomach cancer. Obviously, this was a hard blow to everyone. But somehow Paul still manages to keep a smile on his face. That smile keeps us all going. It keeps us all smiling right back at him.

At this time we are only asking for uplifting words and words of encouragement for Paul. Let him know you care. Share a story or memory of how he has impacted your life.

Update August 16th

Journal entry by Arica Bishop —

Hi everyone,

The consultation with the surgeon went well and Paul's surgery is tomorrow (Friday 8/17) morning. Paul understands the risks and rewards of this procedure and has decided this is his best choice. They will be cutting out a section of his stomach along with the tumor and then reshaping his stomach so it can function properly.

Recovery time is expected to be a few days in the hospital and then a few weeks in an assisted living facility.

Please keep him and his family in your thoughts as we go through this.

Thank you all so much for your support so far.
