Today I turned 58 (my birthday)

5 years cleared from throat cancer

Praying and thinking of you HayWire everyday.....

Keep on keeping on you son of a bitch....give me time to come out and meet you in person.

For fun I will give you a Raiders jersey, but I will wear a Chiefs jersey in your honor anytime.

This place has been awesome (except for mod choices).

Random guy on in internet rant.....

Quit....I thought it was impossible to say that...

Fight...watch this....****er

Tired....daily.

Angry....sure, why not.

I was sure I wouldn't live forever 15 years ago, guess I called that one wrong. Today is my wife and myslef anniversaries.God Bless her.

Diagnosis....I'm done. Shit ASS **** me.

Can't fix me....****ers....

Don't get me wrong...my dumbass will always fight.
But....shit happens.

I've got cancer in my liver plus liver disease.

They can try and get one but the other will get me instead.
The wife and I had a good cry and have came to a decision...no more docs or specialist.

It is what it is......

I'm gonna smile everyday, I will love as hard as I can, and I will enjoy having my feet underneath me.

I hope this isn't my leaving forever thread.

Thanks CP,

Prayers for you HayWire!

If a ferritin test shows higher than normal levels, it could indicate that you have a condition that causes your body to store too much iron. It could also point to liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, other inflammatory conditions or hyperthyroidism. Some types of cancer also can cause your blood ferritin level to be high.

Hydrae · 10-20-2022, 11:02 AM

So sorry you are going through all of this. Death is a sucky part of life I suppose. Best you can do is live life to its fullest for as long as you can. And hold on to your wife tightly!

Prayers sent on a regular basis for you and everyone else involved.

Just found out this week that I caught it also. Fortunately mine is treatable, just trying to find the right surgeon to cut it out.
