Shipmates:
As I have said the last few months, it has been my honor and pleasure to create the Navy Storekeeper.com for our sailors, and in 2 days I will taking it offline. My stength is decreasing quite a bit but I have awesome wife, some awesome friends, and some fantastic family coming back and forth from Chicago and New York (especially my brother) and it has been a godsend. You can't ask for anymore. And your personal prayers and support comments on this Blog adds more to all that.
If you wish, shipmates, you may email directly to my home email at czwierzynski@yahoo.com, and if I do not reply for sometime, please feel free to email my wife, Demetria, at demetria@usa.com. Our 8th anniversary is in April ---- I was I met this wonderful woman 10 years ago instead! She is an absolute joy!
So for now, have a great Navy Day! Your prayers and support are always a great part of our days!
Regards,
SKCS Chuck Zwierzynski

Doing Well Health-Wise, Shipmates!
Good Morning Shipmates!:
Been receiving a large amount of emails and cards lately wishing my family and I well with prayers and support. It's like receiving holiday presents every day! My wife reads all of them as well and cannot believe how many sailors and friends we have met over the years who keep in contact .... and new ones that we have only met online or have heard about us. What great therapy!
So if I may, let you all know my current medical status as it is today --- as said in an earlier blog, it simply appears, after 18 months, that we have exhausted all treatment options for the melanoma cancer in the liver and brain, and actually, I am doing pretty good except for a few side effects. Legs are week, but am mobile getting around the house. Have entered into a TRICARE-sponsored Hospice program this month (30-day CONV Leave) and have a great 24/7 nurse living here (my gorgeous wife, Demetria!) that is ENSURING I stay with the after-care & follow-up programs. She does not miss a trick.
But not a worry, shipmates.... Demetria and I have PLENTY of family from Chicago, AZ and New York visiting the last 6 weeks...some great Chiefs and my bosses aboard the BUSH visiting all the time...and this house is NEVER without loads of noise, food, and partying almost every day. We are taking all this a day at a time, and have to tell you again: if you have anyone in your family now experiencing cancer or friends, neighbors, etc. the most important support group you can ever have is simply to create your own
We're not quitting and simply letting this crazy cancer get to us as you just never now what it's going to do. We're simply living our lives.
You all have a Great Navy Day! Demetria and I sure are.
