<p>Randy lost his battle with brain cancer this morning. He has been asleep for 26 hours. I noticed a tear under his left eye and then he took his last breath. There's no more suffering and pain. He mentioned a couple of weeks ago that he wished he could smile again (the tumor took away that ability.)</p>
<p>We are looking to have his memorial service in about 10 days, but I will post here and on Randy's community facebook page when it will be. …</p>

We would love to have the WaFish community attend if you would like.</p>
<p>We are thankful for what the WAFish community did for him by taking him on his fishing adventure. He talked about that day many times. Thank you for being a part of his life. WaFish.com is an amazing community of wonderful, caring people.<a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2804207178?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-left" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2804207178?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
<p></p>Update on Randy Saso-Shaw and his brain cancertag:www.wafish.com,2010-07-31:2523793:BlogPost:790002010-07-31T01:55:44.000ZJoanne Grecohttps://www.wafish.com/profile/JoanneGreco
The swelling has gone down in Randy's brain enough to start tapering him off of his steroids. Just in a weeks time, his wounds have started to heal. As soon as all his wounds are healed, he can start chemotherapy. This may give him another 3-6 months. We were beginning to think they would never heal and his tumor would continue to grow unabated.<div><br></br></div>
<div>Randy is also walking more upright and is using his cane more. His pain level gets less as his wounds heal. We like to see these…</div>

<div>Randy is also walking more upright and is using his cane more. His pain level gets less as his wounds heal. We like to see these good days and hope they last as long as possible.</div>

<div>Thank you all for your support. I will keep you updated on how he is doing.</div>

My 21 year old grandson was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, grade IV, the deadliest and most aggressive form of all cancers. He is deteriorating more every day and I would like to take him fishing for a half a day or less. I have no boat but a kayak and he would never be able to get into that.<div><br></br></div>
<div>I'm willing to pay someone for their time to take both of us out in a boat and possibly his little sister too, (11 yrs old) for some quality time while he can enjoy it. He's…</div>

<div>I'm willing to pay someone for their time to take both of us out in a boat and possibly his little sister too, (11 yrs old) for some quality time while he can enjoy it. He's on his last weeks or 2 months maybe, but can still walk with a cane and has all of his senses. He rarely smiles now, but does enjoy company. He likes to go on outings. I will help him with the fishing as he can't use his left side. Randy is in the wheel chair, but he can walk with a cane. Please contact me at AFflygal@yahoo.com Thank you</div>
