I just popped in to see if there are any updates, and there is one. I see nobody has sent out a ping, so I’m taking the liberty of pinging everyone, just this once.

Please see post #135.

I’ll be praying at various times throughout the day.

I haven’t heard anything. I was looking to try to give him some perspective on that big scary “C” word Cancer. While I am not familiar with his particularly familiar whit what version he has, I can tell you that all predictions are just that guesses about the future. There are no certainties in battling cancer. I happen to be somewhat of an expert on living with Stage 4 Liver Cancer.

When I was diagnosed with Stage 4 in February 2003 it was a Colon Cancer that had metastasized to the liver. There were two tumors. One was operable and the other wasn’t. So with a great deal of confidence, the doctors went on a short term regimen that was standard practice. Well I told my Doctor to forget about that crap, I wanted to go back to work. I was 59 Years old and loved being a Project/Program/Quality Manager. After six months of Chemo therapy, the Cancer was called “Dormant” and I went back to work. I worked for 8 months and then the cancer came back with a vengeance. My Oncologist said he had never seen this strain so aggressive. I beat that back again with some very strong Chemo. After a series of all types of surgeries and Chemo’s, Here I am today; 65 years old, working full time, taking Chemo every three weeks and having the time of my life!

Sure, I’m going to die from the Cancer; it’s started to spread to my lungs, but I’m not going to die tomorrow. Where, given their Math, I should’ve been taking a dirt nap in June 2005. I love proving doctors wrong. No one is going to live forever. Live is a terminal illness. I refuse to sit here wringing my hands worrying about when I’m going to die. I’m at least ahead of a lot of the people; I know what, the when is TBD. I hope Peturchio reads this and understand that now is not the time to give less than 110% to his battle, but he should never fear the outcome. He is not in this battle alone. If he asks, the Big Guy upstairs will walk with him in his journey.

Be well everyone! Wonderful things to you and those you love!

Tom
