I rarely get on here, especially lately. I'm 24 years old and I have been working for my dad doing commercial refrigeration since I was 16. I've had an NC commercial refrigeration license for right at 3 years. My future looked good. I was making really good money, had just got married and bought a house. On September 16th, 2010 I was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. I started getting to where I could barely work half a day in the heat and I would have to come home. Then I would run fevers and just sleep all the time. They finally did a CT scan of my abdomen for some reason and saw that my liver was covered in tumors. After I was diagnosed I started on chemo and immediatly started feeling 100x's better. I could work full time, I didn't lose any hair and everything started getting back to normal. In April I had a bad allergic reaction to one of the chemo drugs and haven't been able to take it since and that was what was working really good. I am doing a different treatment right now that makes me feel like absolute crap, it's called SIRT or sir-spheres, google it if you want to know what it is, it's hard to explain. After I finish this next SIRT treatment they are going to try to re introduce the chemo drug that I had the reaction to. I'm hoping and praying that it will work and I can get back to feeling good. Prayers would be appreciated guys! I would absolutely love to be out working in this heat instead of sitting at the house all day, but I just don't have it in me. And I feel terrible for my dad because he is absolutely working himself to death. He usually won't get home until around 8 at night and usually works 7 days a week.
