Update Sunday December 7, 2025

First let me thank all of you who sent me birthday wishes, still getting some belated wishes. They were all greatly appreciated

I had CT scan yesterday and everything looks good. Nothing has spread and the pancreatic tumor has shrunk by 2 mm. I haven’t been able to take the chemo three weeks in arrow like I’m supposed to. After the second treatment either my platelets or red blood cells are too low. I have had to get a few blood and platelet transfusions.

Overall everyday is an adventure as each day I can have a different reaction to the medicine and chemo. Bottom line, I’m doing well and really, I’m better now than I was first diagnosed.

Between the treatments, reactions and Doctor’s appointments it’s been difficult keeping the shop open on any type of normal schedule. If you are coming into the shop I recommend calling or e-mailing first to make sure I'm available. Feel free to reach out if you have any issues or concerns via phone or e-mail. I'll get back to you ASAP. Again, I'll keep you all updated as needed.

Wishing everyone a Happy Hanukah, Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year!!!

I met with the Temple Fox Chase cancer surgeon on Monday March 24 and we have a tentative date for surgery of May 13, 2025. I have a telehealth appointment with the vascular surgeon on April 8. He will be on standby in the OR in case there is a need to do surgery on the SMV. I have pre op follow up on April 16 with blood draw and CT scan for updated images to see the results of the chemo, light chemo and radiation. I also have a follow up that day with Penn Radiational Oncology. Hopefully we will see even more reduction of the tumor encasement of the SMV. Today I had the bile duct stent removed and replaced. This will eventually come out with the gall blader when I have the surgery. I will keep you posted as we get closer to the day of the surgery.

Udated 3/14/2025.

Just finished Radiation/Light Chemo. Feeling good and moving forward. CT scan on Monday and see the surgeon March 24th. Hopefully the Chemo and Radiation have done their job and we'll get a surgery date.

50 Years ago, I celebrated the opening of Tendler's Hockey and Sporting Goods, Inc. Opening night guests appearing were Firebirds Mike Clarke, Rejean Lemelin and Dave "Sudsy" Settlemyre!!

Update 1/15/2025
It's been a busy week. January 7 saw my GP and everything was good. Good BS and Blood sugar. January 8 had the CT simulation scan in prep for the radiation. On January 13, I saw the GI doctor and it was decided that they would replace the stent in the bile duct at the end of February. Later on Monday I saw the Urologist and was scheduled for an outpatient procedure on Friday, so I'll have a catheter for at least 5 days. Tuesday, I saw the oncologist and went over the light chemo I'll be doing during the radiation treatments. Looks like 3 pills, twice a day for each day we do the radiation, so at least for 25 days. Today I had an Echo Cardiogram and MRI in prep for radiation and surgery. Hopefully I'll get the radiation schedule next week and we can get this show on the road. Obviously, I will be trying to keep my store hours as best I an. Please feel free to e-mail me or leave a voice message if you need anything. I will get back to you

Over the next few months, I will be dealing with some serious medical issues. Please either leave a message at 215-444-0726 or e-mail me at [email protected] and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
