Tumor...fuck...

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

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

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?

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]

[JN210]

Oh boy guys! I just got back from an EXCELLENT time down in Missouri, shot me a 10 point white tail deer with my 308 Browning BPR...great gun...and it was all filmed and is going to be a TV show christmas special on Macmillan River adventures with Keith Mark, im gonna be on tv it airs december 24th and the 26th so keep an eye out for it on the outdoor channel. Since it was a christmas special, I got gifts...got a range finder "Riflehunter550", two really nice knives, a "Dead Down Wind" orange shirt, and a DVD with a whole bunch of hunts with keith...but damn, let me tell ya, hanging out with the guys I was with was great, couldnt have had a better time...and the owner of the company dead down wind...is taking me deep sea fishing in January on his 8 million dollar boat...hehehe...I am hooked up for life...these guys are just awesome, got to talk to Ted Nugent, Toby keith, and Aaron tippin...WOW...also great guys, I wish I could tell you guys how much fun I had but damn..I cant explain it...I am hooked on hunting and the 2nd amendment.

[Grr]

sa-weet, big time jealous

[JN210]

I want to do some coyote hunting, wheres the best to do that?...almost got to wack one while out there but he didnt come out of the treeline.

[JN210]

Thought id throw this in here, today is the day I go in for my surgery on my lungs, if the cancer is in like a corner peice of my lung they will "staple" it, which is cutting out that small peice of the lung and closing it again, not too happy bout that. Scars on this will probably be the biggest ones yet, two nice cuts on my sides..should make for some kind of good story...they are telling me that its going to be really painful, but I dont think im too worried about pain, just having the marks, and tubes and all that sticking out of me when I wake up..they want to put in an epideral line, kinda like a pain killer medicine that will be next to my spine so I can recover faster. Im just happy that this is my last surgery and then its overwith...

[PSiedTSi]

Glad to hear you're doing so well! Good luck!!

[JN210]

Surgery went good, recovering now, should be back and into my life within a couple days...I will say that this sucks and its hurting pretty bad...I'll have to take some pics of my incisions and whatnot haha...
