So I haven't been around in awhile, I let too many things get ahead of me, so this is as good a story to come back with as any. I found out in April I have cancer. They told me there's less than 1% chance of an infection after the biopsy. I get to be the guy that meets the criteria! They have some antibiotics that clean EVERYTHING out of your system, I'm here to tell ya. I left the hospital with a catheter. Catheters are only fun for a day or two. I don't like hormones. The shots aren't bad, but the hot flashes and mood swings are murder! Heaven help anybody that comes to my house when me and the cat are both feeling our oats! Oh well. Funny things happen too. Tomorrow I have to get 2 little gold coils put in. From what I've heard, they look just like the spring in a pen, but smaller. I was talking to a friend about it and she asked me; so, is there a recovery time after this or will you just bounce back !!smiley_bounce smiley_blue_bounce
I'm a hoping for a bouncy back too!!!! smiley_blue_bounce
Thanks, Ray. I appreciate it!
Here is wishing you the best during this journey. 8)
Thank you MM. I appreciate the thought. I got this knocked. I'm so blessed with family, neighbors, friends nearby, and on this forum. I live where it took me 40 years to get to, but I made it. I got a dream job. Everything happens for a reason. Only good will come out of it
I hope you can wipe this cancer :snowball: . Less than 1.% is a great number. Watch out for the mood swings, I got Rita pretty mad one day. It's the Dexamethasone that does it to me :o >:( :(.
Being observant and all, I knew I had slightly pithed her off when she looked over and said "Happy DnGed Birthday".
And as the Dutch say "and many more in good health!"

They gave me Dexamethasone after the gold coil procedure. I hope it doesn't work on me like the hormones do. Thankfully I only have 2 more days of the Dexa
Once your done with the gold, try to do some workouts or just walking. My neighbor at the end of my drive had the gold pellets but when he got home he didn't do as the doctor advised. Now he just sits in his recliner and watch's law an order reruns. We all try to get him to walk with me as I have to walk or I loose my energy.
51, I hope all goes well. Doc.
Sorry to hear this brother
Hope your feeling good soon.
Thanks everybody. I've been thinking about you , Bruno. I got to get over to see you one of these days. I've been working pretty much every other day lately so it's been tough to even do anything around the house lately. I'll get over there though. Been awhile, I want to see the changes
