Default Jungleboy aka Pete is in the hospital and could really use some positive thoughts and prayers sent his way

So Jungleboy aka Pete underwent surgery on April 27 to have a cancerous tumour removed from his ascending colon and had about 8” of his colon removed. They were able to rejoin his bowel thankfully so he did not have to receive a colostomy which is a definite bonus. He also had three areas of his liver removed as well where the cancer had also spread to. They were not able to do the surgery laparoscopically so he had to get a large incision from his ribs down to his groin so it’s a pretty significant. His recovery is not going very well and he’s in a lot of pain still and has been having issues with his pain medications giving him very bad side effects and has now developed an infection in his incision which they’re now starting treatment for. So if you can please send positive thoughts and prayers his way I know he’d really appreciate it and hopefully it’ll help his recovery to start improving soon. I’ll post any updates when I get them. He’s got a long recovery ahead of him and will have to do further treatments for cancer once he’s recovered enough.

Positive thoughts heading your way. Hang in there and get well soon.

Tough news, he's got some hard days ahead. Thoughts and prayers are with him. Hopefully he's being kept as comfortable as possible.
