Well guys, after having treatments by chemo,radiation surgery and another chemo it looks like the fat lady hasn't sung yet.

I went from 153 pounds back up to about 190 which wasn't easy without a stomach. Some muscle was coming back and doing anything wasn't wearing me out as bad.

17 October I go for a biopsy to find out what exactly is going on with 3 spots in my liver.
Don't think it is onions, but they doubled in size in 60 days.

We all start out the same balling and nude. From there we travel the road we have in front of us. I would say this is a bump in the road going home. God must have job for me or I would have been home with Him on 3 March 2013.

So I would like to thank who sent prayers and good thoughts our way. Figured I would do it now before things get crazy.

My wife set up a page with updates with the skinny for anyone who wants to take a peek. She has a lot more info there on what is going on.is the l
So that link.
I am still looking for a 27-2 if anyone sees a good deal PM me.
:) Distractions are good :)
This place is a great moral booster.

My wife Traci requested the Governor Wisconsin make a proclamation making November Curing Stomach Cancer Month
By golly she got it done in less than two weeks.
Just an awesome woman.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Been through something very similar in the not to distant past. Caring Bridge is a great way to stay In touch, and it will bring you much positive feedback. Good friends and a good attitude makes all the difference. Hang in there and may that 27-2 come to you soon.

On the way soon. :)


I do have a possible Python trade on a 6 1/2" ,27-2 and a 28-2 in presentation cases pending communication and conferment.
Cash on a 3 1/2" most likely isn't going to happen. I am not a big snake fan. No loss there.

I still have regrets on a 27-2 , 8/38" which passed through my hands many s back and was never fired by me. :(
Anyhow the radiation will start soon.
If I don't post here my wife set up a link OP

Well the last radiation is done , I hope final one too. But not done with ct scans etc.
We hanged the nausea medications to be more pro- active and it is working better.
The stamina is reduced a lot.
Thanks to my lovely wife Traci and young son Samuel my doe from the hill side to the truck. If not for them I would have been forced to eat it since dragging her out would never have worked alone for me.
She just insisted on sliding an extra 25 yards down hill too.
Monday will be cut and wrap time. Plus some eggs and tenderloin.
As for the liver , it is on schedule and being watched.
God has blessed me with more time here to do as He will.
Thanks again for the prayers.
The odds were 5 months and that is past. So on with the show we will go.
By gosh my old mean aunt Katherine made it to 105 in Philie PA so I have good stock going for me. :) She was too mean to go and I am too stubborn.

I figured I would pass on the news that my CT scan today showed zero growth of the tumors and no new ones.
Re test in two months. More details on the link for the caring bridge. So The Lord seems to want me here a bit longer. I hope I don't disappoint Him.
Thanks again for all the prayers.
Wishing you all a happy and blessed new year.
