I had a doctors visit yesterday after CT scans last week. I thought it was going to be a good visit. But I have a growth in the area where my bladder was. Nothing in the lungs, which is good. But I am looking at radiation (5 days a week for 7 weeks) and chemo (once a week for 7 weeks). Again it's a 50-50 chance. Guess the drug trial didn't do much for me - LOL! And I guess I am not going back to work right now.
I am mad and bummed out, but I know I can beat this one! Doctor said that it is better to have it now and not 2 years later.
Always something isn't it? :P
Ed
Damn. Sorry it was better news, Ed. You're gonna beat it though!
Thanks for keeping us updated. Lots of thoughts and prayers for you, brother.
Hang on in there, Ed. We'll all be rooting for you - and yes, you can beat it, no worries.
Keep saying FUCK to Cancer Ed! You'll beat this. O0
Hoping the best for you, Ed. You got this. Positivity can go a LONG way towards fighting this.
I feel for you Ed. I just got diagnosed with Skin Cancer 0n my right arm. Fortunately for me it's the most benign form and I had it excised successfully but I got 6 stitches in my right arm for another week. I don't let it interfere with my gaming though-- Hell No! Anyway, everybody in my family's got Skin Cancer so it's like the Final Exam for my DNA's authenticity.
Somebody's gonna beat this damned disease someday and it might as well be you as some other guy that doesn't deserve it. So hang in there, keep that Prayer Pillow close and we'll all be rooting for you. :bd:
Damn, SS!
Well, you DO live in Florida, so...
Try Maine. I bet the sun doesn't come out...tomorrow...
Don't need to be in Florida... my wife has a 4 in long scare on her back from skin cancer removal last year..... :(
Yeah, true, it'll get you anywhere. :(
Outside is overrated! Stay inside and game more.

I saw my Dad have so many of these removed growing up that I was determined not to let it happen to me. I wore a (thin) long sleeve shirt when fishing, working outside, or attending outside sporting events for my entire life. Lots of sunscreen. People have accused me of being "vampire guy" because I stay so pale. But I've avoided having any skin cancers for 50+ years now. Both of my brothers have had them chopped out, but not me.
Sorry to hear your bad new Ed.
Hang in there buddy and kick it to the pavement (sidewalk). Good luck O0
Sorry to see this. Good luck, man.
Try to stay positive! Prayers inbound.
Prayers are with you Ed. Keep us posted on how your doing. You'll beat this.
Thanks guys! I will beat this in the end! I know I can and I will show cancer who is boss! :knuppel2:

In honor of Richie61, I'm going to play a pbem against cancer this weekend and I'm going to kick its ass.
That's the spirit!
Give it a kick in the nuts for me too JH. :clap:
Cancer sucks, but you WILL beat it!
Ed
Keep at the good fight.
Spend time with the people you love and do the things you love to do.
Best wishes!!
Keep at it, Ed! And give cancer a kick in the nuts for all of us :bd:
