Amen. 6 Quote

Super User Oregon Native Posted November 23, 2019 Author Super User Posted November 23, 2019 Looks like the radiation and chemo start on the second of next month. Will have to see how this five week ordeal will go. So many different stories....another one of life adventures. Going to try to get in a little fishing next week after Thanksgiving....hopefully I can tie on a hook. Things still pretty fuzzy. They say your pretty tired....gosh....I get more tired I may be a vegy!!!! Making lunch or dinner and I want a nap.....:) Tight Lines 2 Quote

Super User Columbia Craw Posted November 23, 2019 Super User Posted November 23, 2019 Buddy, I'm thinking of you, praying for you and inspired by you!! Keep posting ! 1 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted November 29, 2019 Author Super User Posted November 29, 2019 Once again up before the birdies....can't stand laying in bed and thinking....OMG does the mind run in circles just thinking of everything. It's been better for me to just get up...make some coffee...eat something...and then sleep again for another couple hours hopefully. Was invited by my ol boss to go fish for a couple hours so am going to try...vision still suck's but will get a bit better as day goes on....but fresh air and chatter will be good. Start the games next week with doc's so not sure what to expect...lots of experts have idea's but seems no one really walks the same trail. Still very thankful for what I get to do....Oh...small treat...I got to wash my head yesterday.....whoooooooohoooooooooo....seriously....was awesome. But...I'm not allowed to get a haircut for five weeks....it's been three or four now due to hospital stays and visits....so gosh...maybe I'll look like the ol days with hair to my neck!! Anyway...wanted to BS...you all have a great day....catch a big one or clean reels depending on where you are. 6 1 Quote
Ski213 Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 You are in my prayers and your attitude towards this is nothing short of inspiring. The right mindset can make all the difference in outcome I believe. 3 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted December 6, 2019 Author Super User Posted December 6, 2019 Well...this will be day two of radiation and chemo. Should be interesting as I've heard so many story's of what if's and whats going to happen. Left side of head doesn't seem as swollen this morning so that is a plus. I have a great nurse who gets me all set up in the mask....has a personality and can joke around instead of head bowed and lets get this done. Believe this will go on for about five weeks... Hoping to make a fishing report Sunday...kind of hoping weather is windy and cold...will keep a lot of people off the lake. If not....will share the water...:) Tight Lines all 7 1 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted December 7, 2019 Author Super User Posted December 7, 2019 Bout all I can say is wow....this new road is a bit rougher. You can feel the swelling along with some aches. Med's help a bit but....not sure how to put into words...other than....five more weeks or so as long as body can take it and I hope it can. Mama and I are going to golf nine today just to get her out...she has been so so good being my little nurse and uber driver. My heart goes out this morning to all those people who go through this...OMG....while sitting in line for your turn there are not many smily faces I can tell ya and to magnify this across our world....gosh. I try to say good morning and make light of something as we are all fighting .....nice to put a smile...even for a second on someones face. Don't want to be a Debbie Downer....I'm ever so thankful for this day...and thankful that I know who's in charge and he loves me and you all. Tight Lines...and catch a dink or a big one...... 2 1 Quote

Battling and beating cancer changed my whole life. I was 19 and lucky enough to be in the children’s hospital for treatment. The kids always had smiles on their faces, were always giggling, and playing. Almost all of them had it worse than me. Rarely do I get stressed, not much gets me down, and very rarely does anything or anyone get the best of me. My wife sometimes wonders if I’m all there upstairs. I just tell her I’ve been given a second chance on life and I’m going to make the best of it. So far after 18 years I’m doing a pretty good job of making the best of it. It sounds like you are too. 6 Quote

Your story is awesome....I've had a couple things that were technically supposed to take me out but now the enemy is trying cancer. All I know is this will be a new adventure and I ain't going nowhere till the good Lord takes me by the hand................ 2 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted January 2, 2020 Author Super User Posted January 2, 2020 Well week four is almost behind me....sheeesh....do so hope the next scan is a gud un......Did golf 18 yesterday with the wife and was nice. First 18 in over ....sheeesh...can't remember. At least was able to move this morning....tired ....but moving. So....so glad not chair bound...would be easy. May have to see if can talk someone into fishing in the rain!! 5 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted January 9, 2020 Author Super User Posted January 9, 2020 Well...was windy and a bit chilly yesterday morning but after radiation it was off to the lake for a few hours. A good friend asked me to fish a tourney this Saturday that was one we had fished last year at this same time on a lake close by. Will be a test as I haven't fished a whole day yet...was going to try and wait till after radiation was done...well....it's close...seven days...so will give it a go. Don't have to worry about too much sun...supposed to rain all day...but temps are supposed to be in the low seventy's!!! Crazy. We were able to eliminate a lot of water yesterday too!!! 2 Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted January 9, 2020 Global Moderator Posted January 9, 2020 Good luck with the tournament! Besides the rain sounds like some good weather. 1 Quote
