O/T A Personal Note

Hey friends,

Just a short note that if you don't see me in threads for awhile, it's because I am taking some time off here and these. I beat heart disease, only to be diagnosed with cancer in my right kidney. So far, it hasn't metastasized, so there's that. I had one tumor removed, and we are cautiously optimistic that the docs will nail the rest of it by the time the season starts.

Anyway, I am not asking for sympathy or anything like that, just saying that I may lurk off and on, and post when I feel better. This place seems like a second family to me, so I wanted to let you know what's going on with me, etc.

One good thing is that I've dropped 102lbs, though I would say that cancer is NOT a proper weight loss regimen.

Thanks for putting up with me. I'll check back in as I am able.

respects,

Gwedd

As someone who has become constantly amazed at some the sh!t they've come up with that's worked on me (heart and vascular disease). The stuff they do on individual cancers these days is equally awesome.

But here's the thing, @Gwedd. Now that you've dropped this bomb on our community, it is your responsibility to keep us updated on how things are going....and if your not feeling well enough to to do it, get someone who is.

Like all true communities we have become invested in each other to some degree. We have become invested in YOU. So do us all a favor and let us know how it's going and if there is anything we can do to help.
