Glad you are back and kicked the C.

So am I. The Lord gave me another chance, I'm not going to waste it.

Welcome back. Glad you kicked it. You have been greatly missed.

I missed being here and gone for so long. Lots of things transpired but I'm back now.

Flip it has been too long since we rode together ,glad you kicked the big C and hope to see you again.

One never knows. Not sure I could ride cross country anymore. Not even sure I can hold up the R3 at this point. I'm working hard to get my strength back, I walk my dog a mile in the morning and a half mile at night, eat right, what I can eat that is. My diet is pretty restricted right now because my liver was severely compromised so I have to wait for it to regenerate. I'm missing a big part of it along with some other stuff. Least I'm alive.

If everything goes according to plan (I say if), I'll be out your way in November but not on a motorcycle. I'll be in camo hunting. Quit planning that far ahead. It';s day by day for now.

It's been shall we say a long journey and the alternative was a box. Not quite there but close. I'm 100% cancer free but still on oral chemo which isn't so bad compared to infusions. My medical teams wants to make sure everything is dead. One thing about chemo is, it kills you while it kills the cancer and it is a fine balance. My doctors did a good job with that. Considering I've lost some parts, I guess that is better than the alternative which is death and in my case would have been a gruesome death.

Lost a good friend to the same thing I had early last year. He decided he wan't going to do anything about it and his last couple weeks on earth were horrible. No amount of pain killer (morphine) helped.

Been a hard road but I'm glad I did what I did.

I was told at the outset I had maybe a 30% survival chance and if I didn't get pro-active, I'd be dead in 3 months. Helluva wake up call for no symptoms, nothing. I never knew until I had a routine CT scan then it was off to the races so to speak.

I can provide parts even though I lost some parts....

That is how mine was found, during a CT for something else. It is what we call a serendipitous finding in the medical field. With me it was off to the races right away also, chemo and targeted therapy that attacked just the cancer cells while the general chemo killed everything. So far I have been clear for 3 years, another 2 and they say I can probably be considered cancer free, at least that particular cancer. I guess there is always a chance for something else, it is what it is. It does give you a new perspective on life though. Between my cancer and our son suddenly passing away last November my wife and I look at things a lot differently than we used to.
