Demise

[ChinaSeaSailor]

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!

 

[ogilvyspecial]

ChinaSeaSailor, we hope to see you here in the forums a lot longer!

Take Care my S&W Friend......

Very touching. God Bless!

 

[truckemup97]

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.

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.

 

[woodsltc]

Prayers sent for you and your bride to have many more years together to sail through this world.

Keep your fighting spirit and God Bless.

So sorry you had to lose a child....it should never happen to anyone.

 

[Out West]

Sailor, make the most of it! Meanwhile, I've sent prayers to the Big Guy. It doesn't end here. You know that, right?

My prayers go out to you and your wife. God Bless.

 

[4011]

Your on the correct forum. These guys di a world of good for me back a few weeks ago. I still have the problem but as of today its healing. A word goes up from Texas for you

 

[DCWilson]

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!

 

[Old 44 Guy]

Hang in there Sailor. My prayers for you & yours.

 

[true_shooter]

keep fightin'

 

[chud333]

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.

 

[Beemerguy53]

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.

 

[MO_mule]

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?
