Hi Guys its been a while since i posted or contributed :( anyway a few months ago i was hit with the bad cancer news and ive been threw some nasty bad surgery and now chemo and then my calcium and potassium crashed and i was in the hospital for awhile then they sprung me, but it only lasted a few days and i crashed again and spent another week in the pen :( so now its 20 pills a day and wait and see what happens next....

NOT looking for sympathy here at all i just felt i owed all the good people here that have helped me over the years a reason as to why i ran off,,,, they gave me tops 3 years so im trying to get over this crap so i can do something to enjoy the time i have left :) ive been teaching my brother how to reload and he has 2 step kids so my reloading stuff will go to him so he can teach the little ones and keep it going :)

anyway yall be safe out there, il try to pop in when i can,,,,,
 
Doctors aren't always right and the human body can do some amazing things.

All the best to you and yours. May you stick around as long as you please!
 
No need for apologies or "sorry" I wish you the best and fight the fight!. The mind can do amazing things. Stay Positive. Best to you and your family.
My Wife is very active in Relay for Life and some folks have amazing stories and success!! They beat it!!
 
poor man - just remember sometimes doctors & diapers need to be changed for the same reason!

I've heard way too many stories of people that lived reasonably well for YEARS when they were given months.

Stay positive & remember to talk to the Great Physician!
 
Both of my parents and mother-in-law had multiple bouts of cancer, part of reason for my early retirement and relocation to be closer to them.

No one will get out of this life alive but you are still alive, today. If you can, make each day count and enjoy to its fullest (that's what my parents tell me these days).

Good to see your reloading legacy will live on with your family.

My prayers are with you and your family. Wish you the best!
 
Poor man, fight the the good fight bro and pop in as often as you can, even if it is just to chat.
Your THR brothers will stand beside you.
 
I've been through chemo, so i know what you're going through. Enjoy every day, that's all you can do.

18 months ago I went into anaphylactic shock from an antibiotic used to treat a spine infection. Wife and kids were deciding on which funeral home to use. I came back, somewhat the worse for wear but am shooting trap and skeet and hunting deer with bow and gun. Hang in there.
I now say everyday is a bonus. Enjoy it. Pain never leaves as I can't take NSAIDS DUE to the kidney damage but still can enjoy life.
Enjoy every day you have.
Man plans, God decides. (Proverbs)
 
Stay positive and try to keep doing everything you can. I believe that keeping a good outlook can be as beneficial as anything. I know it certainly helped me with my cancer diagnosis 5 years ago. Keep on fighting and don't let it rule you , you can rule it ! Enjoy life and you'll persevere.
 
Hang in there; my wife was diagnosed and given no more than 6 mos to live in 1983! 31 years later she's still going strong! They CAN be wrong
 
And the hits just keep on coming this year....

Spend as much time as you can doing everything you can, for as long as you can.
 
That kind of news is tough. I know. I'm in a similar situation. They say attitude is everything.But that sentiment must have some merit. Hang in there,love your people and try not to let it cast a cloud on your day to day life. Best wishes and prayers to you...nixpap
 
No human is able to determine when God wants to bring you home.

Today..tomorrow.. 3 years or 30 more. He is the only one who sets guidelines and life spans.

Keep shooting, keep living life, keep enjoying all that has been given to you, pass on tradition, say your prayers.. You won't know you're dead until the deed is done. Then there is a whole lot more to look forward to.

No sympathy, per your request...but! You have my prayers, friend.
 
Live like TODAY might be the last day, however long you last on this side, at least you'll have packed two or three times of experience into it.
 
Just stay positive, my wife at 28 years old was daignosed with breast cancer,didn't look very promising on the odds.
15 years later she's still going strong.

There will be tough times but just fight though them,and keep going.
 
I had 3 1/2 years of "drastic" (doc used that to describe) chemo and then there was a bone marrow transplant in 1990 that had a one in 10K or less chance of working. I was told I would probably not make it through that night so many times I no longer kept count or paid attention.;) Still here because as the doc said "I was too stubborn to let myself die". It is 99% ATTITUDE. BTW I now reload and shoot more than ever before to make up for those years I could not do it.:D
 
It's how you run the race. While news like this always sucks just hang tough and offer the good fight. Keep the morale up and enjoy things.

Best Wishes
Ron
 
You just never know. I had a friend who in fact, as doctors predicted, die of cancer...When he was almost 90. They "predicted" it when he was in his 30's.

My government work involves surveying hospitals, surgery centers, nursing homes and other health care facilities to investigate whether facility staff like doctors/nurses/therapists/clinicians/etc. did what they were supposed to do. While I am not a doctor, when we find concerns, we refer them to appropriate consultant doctors and specialists.

Even the surgeons and specialists are human and occasionally make mistakes and can misdiagnose and are subject to peer review.

If you have any concerns or want better piece of mind about the diagnosis/treatment, seek a second opinion. Competent doctors would not have any problem with patients seeking second opinion.
 
poor man -

Your post shows courage and pluck (is that a word we even use anymore?)

The thoughts and prayers of people you have never met are with you at this time. May each day be a good one!
