Good news [Lonewolf Ed] - Page 104

Lonewolf Ed · 01-24-2015, 04:51 PM

I thought I'd start a new thread for updates on my cancer treatments and whatever else is going on, since the bad news thread title is misleading now.

My last treatment went better than the previous two and my chest wound is still closed up, which is a good thing. My arm is getting slightly stronger and I hope to resume lifting dumbbells next week. I need to build up my strength again, because I am going back to Denmark in May and I am extremely pumped about that! I'd like to be able to schlepp my own checked bag and not have someone else lifting it for me.

It's going to be a fabulous trip, 6 weeks and a couple of days for me. My brother is going along as well as my friends Chipp and Rod. Chipp is staying close to 3 weeks and has not gone with me over there since 2006 so he is also very pumped to be going. It will be Rod's first trip and he will be there for 2 weeks. I will get to be a tour guide. Also, I am throwing a party in my favorite pub of all, the wonderful, ever-magnificent Irish House in Aalborg on May 7th. The owner and I are friends and he will give me a little discount. We'll have Irish stew and brews in the cellar and I hope to have around 25 family and friends there. I might bill it as the "Fu** Cancer Party." A few months back, I was not sure I'd ever be able to go over to Denmark again or if I'd even be alive, but the cancer hasn't gotten me yet. I'm doing a number on it, instead.

Some other cool things I plan to do when I am back in my ancestral lands include a wine tasting in a castle, touring another castle and the northernmost manor home in the country, and visiting Skagen, the top of Denmark, where you can stand on a little patch of beach and have one foot in one sea and one in another. They also have a brewpub up there I am wanting to check out. I will start and end my trip in Aalborg and spend 5 weeks in an apartment I rent that is very close to the beach. I can hardly wait for May 4th to roll around!

Definitely hope for good luck. Either way, you can kick its arse, man.

Keep it up, Fightin' Ed.

Ed, besides the misfits on this board, including me, you have Christ. My neighbor is going for a biopsy on his lungs tomorrow, either from breathing black mold or lung cancer, hit him about a month ago. It's not looking good, everyones day's are numbered. I did get him to go to Church, I pray he got the message, which I'm pretty sure he did.

GloryDayz · 07-07-2016, 09:45 PM

Fight on my friend, fight on...

I am glad to see that, no matter the outcome with your neighbor. Keep talking to him. The support is a huge factor.

I didn't get that good of news today at the cancer center, but it was not entirely unexpected. The cancer in my liver has grown and nearby lymph nodes are swollen, plus I probably have two small spots of cancer, one in each lung now. I go in for chemo on Wednesday of next week, so I'll be there all day and come home with the pump hooked into my chest for 2 days like I used to do.

I did ask flat out if I am circling the drain and the nurse practitioner said no. I asked about if she thought I'd be alive next year to go back to Denmark and she looked down at her feet and said, "I don't know." I didn't ask so much to find out but to see if she'd be open about it, and she was. I already say I never know if my last trip was my last trip or not. In my condition, making plans even 6 months out seems like a bad idea. I just have to wait until the end of the year and see how things are going before I can decide if I should make plans and get my tickets or not.

Keep fighting the good fight, Ed! All the best.

Ed, you have always been a realist during your brave fight. Do what you feel is right, makes you happy and find something unique to do that you have been indecisive about.

I recommend a hot $500 an hour escort, taking a road trip to make a surprise visit to someone significant from your past, trying to achieve 5 minutes of fame by running onto the field during the middle of a pro sporting event before you are tackled and jailed, do a drug like LSD or mushroom one time and lastly go piss on someone's lawn who you never liked, maybe the White House! HAHAHAHAHA

Love ya man, fight on. On a board that's so divided it's awesome that we all unite behind one of our own. So you're doing good things without even trying..

Rams Fan · 07-13-2016, 07:42 PM

I've been glancing through this thread since it was originally posted and I've got to say you've been incredibly brave during this entire time, Ed. You have continued to live your life normally and take the ****ing piece of shit known as cancer head on.

My thoughts are with you man.

I believe in prayer. You, as always, will continue to have my prayers. Keep fighting, Ed. Anything can happen.
