    Niner Update......not the best news.

    Just got back from my quarterly check-up, and the results aren't the best.
    Docs say I've got a "recurrence"....which means the cancer is trying to make a comeback.
    Still very small, the neurosurgeon had to go back and look at the last few MRI scans to ensure they were seeing what they thought they were.

    At this time the plan is not to do a bunch of chemotherapy, but to do surgery and remove it and do some radiation while in there. At this point I don't have all the details and have more questions than answers about what's coming. I don't have a date yet as to when they can get all of the surgeons and specialists coordinated to do it. At this point I'm sort of in a holding pattern.

    Sure could use some prayers and good vibes!!
    My "disability" does not make me "disabled".

    Coming your way from the Old Dominiin. It sounds like they're into it early which is a good sign.

    Prayers from this corner of the globe as well Niner. Thumper has the right mindset, the hardest part is over. Just a bit of maintenance before fishing season starts.

    Not a big deal... little plucking and tweezing and you'll be as ugly as you ever were! Keep your positive outlook and nothing but good news will come your way my man!
    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
