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

I thought about your post more than I should have.

I learned the difference between need and want when I was in Jr high.

I need food and water....nothing else.

I think I've been pretty open that I'm no ****ing angel. I've lived hard and I admit that.

After reading your post I stepped outside and had a smoke. Set on my steps and said a prayer for you. You took the time out of your day to give me the definition on "carcinogen".

Good on you if that made you feel better but I truly wish you the best.

I'll reiterate....I've done stupid shit most of my life and while it's killing me....I wouldn't change a damn thing.

I've got here because of my stubborn personality and my willingness to live hard.

I'm not sure why you thought posting that was a good idea but you did and I'm ok with that.

Want....another smoke.
Need....my wife/kids and dinner.
Necessary...not you.

Nope.....
