So I just found out I have cancer..

[RobertK]

Hang in there man, Radiation feels like a microwave cooking inside your gut. Ive now been off that for some time and taking low dose chemo via pill form since Christmas.

Keep the faith!

That's what I've heard, I was told that my treatment would be a low dose administered over 15 days.

I just hope that it doesn't affect my throat to much.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Robert, I hope the threatment you start on the 22ed has success.

You are strong man and you have my respect

[willsol]

I know I haven't met you but Stay strong and have faith.

Got all marked up but not radiation yet. I get a simulated treatment on the 5th of November and then the rest are all real. I should be finished up with treatments by Nov. 26th.. the day before Thanksgiving.

Thnx for keeping us informed. I hope you can eat normally at Thanksgiving dinner.

At least on Thanksgiving you can look back and say: It's over! Lets chow down! :up:

What a roller coaster. Hang in there man!!!!

Thinking of you bro, hang in there, this too shall pass.

Man, cancer fucking sucks. My grandmother died from it. There is hope though. My girlfriend's mom is now a 10 year survivor of breast cancer. My thoughts are with you man, and I wish you all the best. Good luck with your treatments, and hopefully soon you can look back on all of this and celebrate your victory. Be strong.

Radiation ain't so bad. Just finished my first week and I've not noticed any horride side effects.

[Rogan]

Awesome, Robert! :)

Good to hear it aint too bad.

Nice !! :up:

Just to update everyone. I just finished my second week of mantle radiation on Friday and I have the worst sore throat in the world.

Doc first said I had 3 treatments left now says 7 so I'm frustrated (some BS about getting a "booster" after the Thanksgiving holiday). I'm probably not going to get to eat Thanksgiving dinner at this rate seeing how I cannot even eat regularly now but yet they keep telling me to keep my weight up. Hard to do when you can hardly swallow soup and it only adds to the fatigue.

I've been sipping on Aloe Vera juice which does nothing and now I'm about to try some $40 prescription "magic" mouthwash. If it doesn't work I'm gonna be PISSED. :hitler:

Otherwise I'm just happy to be alive.

You'll get through it.

We're all pulling for you.

Thanks for keeping us updated! Glad to hear you're still doing good.

And your E30 is lookin' fly!
