Stay strong Steve!
Fight for your family, friends and your Pontiacs as I am!!!!
And be sure to give credit where credit is due.

I just started the 2nd round of my Fufiri and others for my colon cancer that has spread to my vertebrae, pelvis, shoulder blades and liver. Last years chemo to get rid of the deflated football sized sarcoma was much worse than these chemo drugs, but they still can be difficult.

Get that GTO out and have some aroma therapy!

Bill, I don't have a GTO right now just a Vette. But it's about the same thing

So we are in the same boat together, hate to hear that for you because I know oh too well how this goes.

I spoke with Steve this morning for quite a while & I don't give a **** if he wants me to post this publicly or not.

Steve's going back in for another round of chemo - it seems his numbers are back up and there is an inoperable node. He'll find out tomorrow when it will start and how many treatments he'll be getting this time. He and his family could use your thoughts, prayers and support. This is not something he will be beating soon if at all.

Well ya, there is no surprise in this at all. The doctors have told me all along I only have 3 to 6 years and I'm over a year into that already. Why do you think I've been trying to get you serious about coming down here!

Right this very minute the Hydrocodone isn't working very well in the afternoon; too bad we can't have mixed drinks at work

FYI... the doctor called and bumped my appointment until Monday. The pain is growing fast so I'm pretty sure Chemo is in the works very soon.

Stay strong Steve!
I just finished another round of chemo, but that's the price you pay if you want to stay!

I get busy on the Bird and such on my strong weeks and my weak weeks, I just punch through them the best I can. After everything I have been through in the last 3 1/2 years, a few days of feeling puny ain't keeping me down!!!!
Making plans for next weekend being my strong one, to drive the bird and some of our friends out to the country to a little diner then do some testing on a backroad!

Fight Fight Fight!!!

Bill

Just went and picked up the block for my boys car; didn't feel a single thing the entire time I was doing it

This will be my third go around with Chemo, seems to be worse each time.

My prayers are on the way for both you guys..........The docs gave my Mom 6 months and she lasted 6 years! Would have been more but declined kemo the last time. She worked until a week before she passed. She was 78!
Nobody knows when our time has come, keep goin strong!!

Yes Ditto on that, I also know a bunch of survivors who made the doctors look like idiots,, I believe strongly that the mindset plays a huge role in healing, And nutrition,, Give your body help and its capable of amazing things. I'm sure its easier said than done, but stay positive, Don't know you guys like the others but wish you the best. Rich my 4 cents
