Demise
There are many disappointed people in world starting this New Year. As you recall back in July, I was found to have stage 3/Stage 4 Lung cancers with a bleak end life quality picture. It looks as though they now will have to wait to relish my demise.
Projection was 6-12 painful months remaining life expectancy yet today I feel better than I did then.
Maybe I did something right for a change. Now no one offers projection. That is fine by me.
I will try to see y’all on the forum maybe a little longer – and please remember good wishes for My Darling Bride of 42 years now.
Thanks

My friend's father was told that his cancer was terminal and that he would die within weeks - three times. He died 34 years after the original diagnosis - in a car wreck at age 92. Only God knows, carry on!

Prayers for you and your wife. Life isn't guaranteed but death isn't either. Doctors have been wrong so many times.

Each day we have is a gift from the good Lord, it is our job to enjoy each of those days and to make the most of them.
Glad you are feeling better.

Prayers for you and your wife. Many, many folks have fought cancer and won against all the odds. I'd bet that you'll soon be another of them. You've got some fight in you, and that's what it takes. Good on ya, Sailor.

Me to,
I to was dianosed in March of 11 with a 8cm cancer tumor in the upper right lung. I received 36 radition treatment and 3 chemo treatments.
The tumor is now gone and I feel OK. There might still be some cancer in the body.
Now the sad part one of my twins Donna age 47 past away on Christmas day after fighting ovarion cancer for 4.5 years. It was a blessing to see her go, lots of pain the last 2 months.
I hope the very best for both of us. Like they say, never every give up.

Hey, Sailor...
It's good to hear your voice again. Sending prayers for you two
tonight. Maybe I can send a similar note after Next New Years.

Allow me commend your spirit and offer encouragement along with prayers for healing.
Cancer is often a terrible situation, but those of us in medicine cannot account for your toughness and ability to resist.
May God grant you peace and well being. We really want you to prevail.

Thoughts and prayers for you and yours. Doctors are just educated guessers. If I had a few bucks for every time I had heard a bad prognosis I could buy another gun!

That's Great News and i'll say a prayer for your continued good health. Maybe God is a fan of S&W. He does work miracles.

ChinaSeaSailor, in the spring of 1991 I had three operations for vocal cord cancer in six months, and then almost died from a secondary viral infection of the heart. My initial prognosis wasn't good, and nobody expected me to live more than a couple of years at most, but here I am today, with both my health and my voice intact.
You never know about things like this. Hang in there, and live each day to the fullest. I will keep you in my prayers.

ChinaSeaSailor, sparkgap, and Beemerguy53:
It is uplifting to hear your experiences about beating cancer (and other things). When we wake up in the morning, we just don't know what lies ahead for that day and I bet you guys had some grueling days on the road to good health. Y'all stick around and keep posting here, understand?
Chris
