[fdfreak]

So explain to someone who does not look at human bones everyday, is that bulge on the last pic your tumor? and I am assuming that the dark purple/red stuff is the nasty sh*t you were talking about right?

yup, you can see where the bone is suppose to be normal, look at the white marrow around the edges and it outlines what its suppose to look like.

Just curious, are they using any of your information for studies, etc?

Those pics are pretty badass too...should make them shrinkwrap that shit so you can keep it! hahah

[JN210]

I am indeed included in a study to find the cause for how this starts, wether it be from location, what ive been exposed to, where ive lived....etc...

haha, shrink wrap...i seriously wanted to keep it though.

Awesome, glad to see some "good" may come out of your unfortunate circumstances. I know my dad was supposed to be included in one as well.

Exactly. It could be your "concealed" weapon, but then again, you could just take your prosthetic and turn it into a number of things :icon_cheers: Gotta love versatility haha jk.

Anyway, glad to see you're doing so well!

hey man, I have been curious to as how things have been going for you lately.... update??

[JN210]

Sorry for such a late update...didnt catch that anyone actually posted in here, but im doing as good as I can. Been back and forth from rochester, chemo still sucks, this last round really took me down...my excuse for everything right now is "I am on drugs" haha. My car is going to be redone by make a wish, sadly they cant do anything performance wise due to their safety regulations. I went to a camp a couple weeks ago called "Kamp Kace" and had a great time...figured out I can swim, that was an interesting experience I will say. My doctor in fargo is CRAZY...he is just insane but hes a great guy none the less. Im really getting tired of all the needle stabs with the blood draws and whatnot but I gotta push my way through this...im almost in the clearing here, surgery comin up here sept 18th I think? on my lungs to get the spots cleared up wether its cancer or not they still dont know, but after that its chemo until the first or second week of december and then.....I am done...but walking again should come way before that, we are hoping no later than october so we will see. I cant really think of much else going on right now...but im doing fine and living as well as I can

[PSiedTSi]

Speaking of blood draws, don't you just have a port?

[JN210]

yea but Id really rather do arm draws and save the stabbing of my side until I really need it...like chemo.

Stabbing? The one my dad had basically just had a plug in it and it didnt require any "stabbing"...unless im way off lol

[JN210]

what your probably thinking of is a pick line? kinda the same concept except that has like a external openeing. My port os like a bump under my skin which is a metal peice with a silacone middle where they poke the needle into it.

Yep, sounds exactly like what I'm talking about. Took a small day surgery right away then no needles after that.

It's good to hear that you are doing better throughout all of this. I honestly don't know how I would deal with what you are going through. Props!

[JN210]

Thanks!...and for what its worth...My benefit is today in the Argusville community center at I think...5? and it goes until 9, feel welcome to come!...pretty sure there will be beer for the older crowd :), silent auction, raffle tickets will be sold and I think first prize is a 32in plasma TV? 2nd is a benelli shotgun and 3rd is a I-pod shuffle?

[wishinsky]

Well bud i will try to make it there far ya...I will have to see if i can steal my step moms car from her after football today.

[JN210]

I suppose youd get there pretty quick then lol.

[wishinsky]

haha ya i would suppose. But thats cuz my dad will be in town with the bravada which leaves me carless but she might let me use her car to go to your benefit.

[JN210]

^I bet she'll want to come too lol, unless you get out fast enough.

[wishinsky]

get out fast enough?
