Super User aavery2 Posted November 25, 2014 Super User Posted November 25, 2014 Good things happen to good people, very happy for your family and yourself..... Quote
Super User bigbill Posted November 26, 2014 Super User Posted November 26, 2014 Stitch I said your going to be ok from the beginning. Trust me my gut feeling is always right. I have two more injections to go the next six months. My cancer numbers are almost not measurable there that low. I can't wait to get off the injections and get my energy back. Stitch you and me have a special meaning to the "thanks" in thanksgiving this year. For me each holiday is a gift from now on. We made it through the worst of times. My cancer doctor said my prostate cancer could come back in three years, or 12 years or never come back. Who cares I'm going bass fishing 24/7. Now it's time to enjoy life and the family for sure. We hit a speed bump in the game of life it's time to get back in the race. We survived it. God bless everyone for your support. Happy ThanksGiving to everyone and your families. 1 Quote
Topwaterspook Posted November 26, 2014 Author Posted November 26, 2014 Thanks, Bill. You've been a great inspiration for me. When I was feeling down your comments always helped........... I received more good news. My oncologist phoned yesterday and wants to set up an appointment to have my "port" taken out. I told the nurse that it will have to wait until my granddaughter gets her deer this season. She just laughed............ Get through these couple treatments, Bill. we have lots more left to accomplish. Cherish every day.......it's a gift. 1 Quote
Super User Solution bigbill Posted November 27, 2014 Super User Solution Posted November 27, 2014 Everyday is a gift now. I enjoy my 4yo grandson and my family too. God bless, bigbill Quote
Topwaterspook Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 Gonna be "portless" Monday afternoon !!!!!!!!!!!! 4 Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted December 12, 2014 Super User Posted December 12, 2014 Great news. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted December 16, 2014 Super User Posted December 16, 2014 Stitch we made it another year it's our second Christmas. I went Christmas shopping online and purchased my grandson some awesome stuff from trains, trucks, bulldozer, farm toys etc. I kind of went overboard. It's my mad money anyway. Christmas is for the kids. We came through a lot. My cancer is in remission and unmeasurable right now. I have two more injections to go. One this month and another in 6 months. By next fall I hope to get my strength back. On a bad note I gained some weight back. I have my appetite back. I guess that's good, food tastes good again. Your doing awesome too. What more can we ask for. My plans are still to break the lmb state record. I been two pounds off with my 10lb catch. I been closer but lost them. They just opened up the water shed near me. No power boats. Being a "pro" shore fisherman LOL it's open season. It's a big reservoir. I'm ready to go. We got a second chance at life. I/we worked hard all our life. Now it's "our" time. We raised the family. We're over the hill of life. We earned it now. It's our turn. I can fish, sit and watch the corn and grass grow. I have a few plans now a new dog maybe a rescue. I feel to pass on the good karma we been given. I find abandoned kittens were I fish. I have six right now. I have one yellow lab we adopted as a pup he's 3yo now. I've always wanted a new sporty car. I'm thinking about a new mustang in the springtime. It's time to settle down and go with the flow. We don't have to fight the tide anymore. My only regret is working too hard all the time. I think we all do that. I'm going to make up for that now. I feel guilty not working. But I cut the grass. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, God bless everyone here for your support. We turn this page to the next chapter of our lives for we aren't done yet. We have a lot of living to do brother. Quote
Topwaterspook Posted December 16, 2014 Author Posted December 16, 2014 I'm so glad that all's going well for you , Bill. This is indeed a blessed season for a lot of us here. I take time to be thankful for each day and all the great folks that have supported us through these tough times. They truly are gifts........ My "port" was removed yesterday morning while I was totally awake. I was listening to the surgeon and the operating room staff discussing vacations in Belize and Costa Rica. As he was working on me I was just listening and trying not to move too much as he pushed, pulled and pressed my chest. All was going as well as could be expected, "I guess".............when all of a sudden, during mid sentence, I heard him quietly mutter....."Oh ****"......I told him I'd heard that and it wasn't what I wanted to hear! It turned out to be nothing more that a dropped suture. We all had a good laugh over that. Have a great Holiday season ,everyone. To all our Jewish friends, Happy Hanukkah. Let's all make the very most of the upcoming New Year. 3 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted December 16, 2014 Super User Posted December 16, 2014 Happy portless Tuesday Stitch. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted December 16, 2014 Super User Posted December 16, 2014 We both more down the road to recovery. We have to believe in the power of prayer. My prostate cancer was an 8 on a 4 to 10 scale. It was aggressive cancer and moving fast. I didn't worry either way. I accepted the Lord into my life and would go in any direction to my destiny so be it. Chapter one of our lives we work. Chapter two we retire. Chapter three we play. (Bass fishing) Quote
