A message from Miranda:

Thank you to all of you who have reached out over the past month. The support has meant so much to our family.

Tentative dates and times have been set for services to honor Ron. This is… https://t.co/1FOr7Kx2ap

Very upset to write this.... been unconscious for a week. They are going to try and take it out in a couple hours, they can’t tell me if it will work. #shurerstrong #specialforces #sfsg #usss #ussscat .

I just put on Extraction on Netflix. Sitting here, in the icu, in my underwear, eating jello, watching Chris Hemsworth; just how I wanted my Friday evening to go. https://t.co/SrQRpwq8Rd

Just not having much luck with hospitals lately... Just got admitted again, for difficulty breathing. Home oxygen machines weren’t able to keep me remotely comfortable, so we will see what the hospital can do.… https://t.co/43SKJwogZO

Happy Birthday, Miranda! The boys and I are so lucky to have such a caring and intelligent woman in our lives. You are the absolute cornerstone of this family, keeping us all on track no matter what is going on in… https://t.co/uylI7I9ldb

@ConnecticutCoug Go Cougs!

Quick stop off at the hospital to get almost 800ml of fluid drained from my right lung. Already feel so much lighter, but it will be a day or so for my lung to relax again after having that much pressure on it. It’s… https://t.co/hujyP1lZ9f

12 years ago today: when we started working our way up that mountain, we didn’t expect the fight we would face... but neither did they. #specialforces #18d #3rdsfg #nomanleftbehind #medalofhonor https://t.co/jjRi9Pum6t

@THEANTHEMGIRL I’ll admit, twitter still confuses me, but it’s always humbling to see the support. Thank you so much.

I finally got home a couple days ago, and am now looking forward to passing some of this social distancing time by reading Gary Beikirch’s new book, Blaze of Light, which just came out today! He is a Medal of Honor… https://t.co/gy8w8FZCvi

If you can’t go to the party, have the party come to you! The kids had the day off of school for the primary elections, so we got to hang out in between tests. I’ll say, they did not take it easy on me just because I… https://t.co/l2r2gG2ofx

An unplanned weekend stay at the hospital, has extended into this new week. At least it made the trip in for radiation shorter. #fcancer #lungcancerawareness #johnshopkinsmedicine #sibleymemorialhospital @ Sibley… https://t.co/ZYIDLVUIY4

@CSMTowns 👊

Hopefully we can get back to more fun events soon, but life has decided a hospital stay and Deadpool pajamas are the dress code for this weekend 😂. #johnshopkinsmedicine #lungcancerawareness #deadpool @ Sibley… https://t.co/iq6yPT3Kva

@KimFisherDC We are crossing everything for a decent nights sleep 🤞🤞

[Ronald J Shurer II @ron_396]

Today is a great day, no other way to view it. On 2/23/17, I had just received a call saying they had found cancer throughout my body, and it was unlikely I had long left. In that moment it felt like everything was… https://t.co/jCB7sd08Cr

1,091 days since we found out I had cancer. 1,091 days without being admitted to the hospital- just a few days shy of the three year mark! Oh, well, I’ll break out of here in the next day or so, and start a new… https://t.co/mWlGCgGEvN

Recording a podcast with @igrecon. It will be a couple weeks before it goes up, but hopefully you will enjoy it when it does. It’s never easy to talk about April 6, 2008, but I am glad to share the story to help give… https://t.co/v3BcrzQL8H

Lightning fast trip to New York for dinner and a show. Already back to real life, but great to focus on the important things for 24 hours. #memories #broadway #newyorkcheesecake @ New York City Times Square https://t.co/E1R8dp35T5

#BREAKINGNEWS: The #cancer death rate declined by 29% from 1991-2017, including a 2.2% drop from 2016-2017. The steady 26-year decline is driven by long-term drops in death rates for the four major cancers- lung, colorectal, breast, & prostate. https://t.co/12voPxVd6N
