Greg you speak from living the nightmare of Cancer having gotten even worst.
The Truth is not kind. Treatment no Joke if the cancer doesn't kill you the Treatment likely will.
Anything worth have is worth fighting for. And life and your family is worth fighting for.

Sunshine and 63F for a PM today. Better than last week, with two days working in rain, one with the addition of darkness and wind on Friday night. Phew!!!

Hello everyone just made it back from Kansas. I found an interesting tee shirt in a truck stop that read: Dear Dorothy, Hate Oz, took the shoes, find you're own way home.

At least now you have some of the say.
Try to be extra nice to the wife. Help her with the dishes or laundry when she doesn't expect it. Work your magic and enjoy it while you can.
I wish you the best. Take it seriously and don't forget what is is really about.
None of it is easy my friend.

Hey Greg,
I certainly hope that your prognosis for me is wrong!! Even though the odds are not in my favor (been smoking on and off for 30 years), I prefer to keep a positive attitude. It has been 10 days now without a cigarette, and I intend to see this thing through. I understand your strong feelings on this and reality is what reality is.
I appreciate you wishing me well in this endeavor.

I'm a former heavy smoker, and except for some little polyps in my darkest place, I'm cancer free so far. A great many former smokers never have so much as a cough. In fact, I have known men who smoked all their lives (and drank, too) but have no ill effects other than old age.
You can do this. Just keep a tight hand on how you react emotionally. That is perhaps the toughest part. Wrestling with your craving is an inner struggle, but how that manifests itself is an outer one.

Hey Bret... glad to see ya at it again!
Jason. Good on ya. Keep it up bro!
Hey Goosie, and JP and James and DOug and Monument and the rest......
Went and had my upper GI done today. Good to be through with the fasting at midnight routine. If I want a pepsi... I want a pepsi! If I want a coffee... damn it I want a coffee! If I want a bowl of cereal.... guess what.... I want it! So anyways.... the Barium is done and I will call the DR office tomorrow to see what doc says. The radiologist was suppose to be done within an hr or 2 and faxing. So it should be in!
Silent Service........ Death From Below!
