Been having health issues for a while now.

Just got the news yesterday from my last test.

I officially got ****ing cancer in my gut.



Edit:
Sorry all,

Had a couple of days that weren't the best.

It was a swift reminder that I still have things to take care of.

My wife still needs to learn passwords, bills, etc. That got me thinking about what my "footprint" will look like when I'm gone.

I'm actually an intensely private person and I thought I've shared a tad much on here. At the same time I've got to talk to a lot of great people here and it does lift my spirits some when I see the positive posts from everyone.

Got rid of most of the pics etc.....the more I thought about it the more I felt selfish. CP has been my go to for 10+ years now and it didn't feel right to throw the C word out there and then just ignore it like it didn't happen.

Thanks,
HayWire

When you look around please look at this



Be nice.

I've caught the C and my daddy has it too.

I'll get back shortly

Stay pissed off and focused. you got this

Make a plan to beat that shit. Try to be as specific as possible, like "Step 1, be conscientious about my medication/chemo/whatever, Step 2 . . ." and so on.

Then make a plan for what you're going to do when you actually beat that shit, again be specific.

I'm pulling for you, bud. Hang tough. And be mad; as long as that motivates you to do something positive about your situation, that's a good thing.

Trying to find someone to go with me.

Regardless....you're a damn good person

Unfortunately I'm going to have to pass.

I don't think my body can handle a 3 hour drive there, tailgate, watch the game, and a 3 hour drive home.

I truly appreciate the offer and you are now my favorite poster.

God bless

I like to meditate every day. Sometimes during meditation, I pray. This morning I prayed for you and your full recovery. Take care of yourself, Brother and keep us posted. We are ALL pulling for you.
