Good luck! Sending you loads of positive thoughts and I'm really hoping that you come back in a few days with some great news.

You can do this!

Just a quick update. I've just had a call and need to go in to hospital they have a bed for me to have surgery in the next couple of days. Let's see what they can do?

I had ignored this thread for selfish reasons for a few days now. I have seen your input here for a fair while now and although we never agreed 100% it saddend me to see you in this way but respected your right to choose.

I have to say that your right to choose to see what can happen is a welcome one though, If only to see a few more members of the human race make it here.

Be strong buddy, there is always another day to see.

No need to appriciate it mate, just be here to question my judgement 10 years from now.

a reply to: woodwardjnr Sorry to hear about your difficult journey at this time of life.I commend you on your strength and determination.I have found the book Outsmart your Cancer- very helpful, the Budwig diet and Protocel are alternative methods many have found to combat and ameliorate their conditions. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Whatever it takes buddy.

Reach out if you get bored in hospital

All I can say is whatever you decide, or have to endure, I wish you peace and relief. After all the time you've spent with this condition, you'll choose what is best for you. Of that I have no doubt.

Peace.

a reply to: zazzafrazz it's not the boredom it's the food, but I'm working on that. Nice new avatar. He's starting to look old grandpa solo. I hope I'm out in time to see the new film. Short term goal

a reply to: woodwardjnr

My thoughts are with you.

Hope your hospital stay is short and effective ...

Have kept an eye on this thread to get updates and hopefully all goes well in the near future , but a thought , maybe something to fight for . From your OP .

I really want to keep going, because I'm expecting to become an uncle in February.

How about i really want to go to my nephew or nieces 21st . Small steps i know and once again i am in no position to give advice . Thoughts . Keep us posted , if you can , im sure you will be down and out for a while .

I wish I could send you daily doses of my Mamas cooking.

*starts plotting*

a reply to: zazzafrazz just got on my hospital bed and am all wired up to go. Had a bowl of soup and a whole meal roll. That'll keep me going till tomorrow. Hopefully have the op tomorrow unless there are are emergencies ahead of me. I hate tempting fate. So I'll just say. Maybe I'll just leave it there.

Thinking of you and hoping all goes well. HUGS!!!!

a reply to: woodwardjnr

Sending great vibes to you buddy. You'll wake up with quite the hangover after the OP, so hit us up when only you feel up to it and are feeling ok.

Much e-Love and e-hugs, Zazz

and pretty sure it's ok to speak on others behalf when I say "much love also from the entire ATS gaggle"

Don't know if this has been mentioned here yet but there was an interesting thread posted recently here about the benefits of ginger and other naturopathic medicines over chemo.

Keep up the fight buddy, and remember you can't truly enjoy life when you take it for granted.

a reply to: zazzafrazz i had surgery at 9.30 this morning, trying to recoup in bed now, but hospitals are noisy. Just waiting on an ora morph. Which is a quick shot of moraine, to ease the pain in my head. It's all about the healing process now. I need ed to have a bit of plastic surgery to help cover up the scar incision, so got a free nip and tuck thrown in for free. Tumour removed so surgery was a success. Just all about the healing process now and avoiding any infections.

a reply to: woodwardjnr


Nice mate!!!

Glad to hear it all went well and that you're feeling OK.
Pain meds are heaven at times so at least there's that.

Really glad you're doing well man.

Hospital food,.. it's what drives you to get to the nearest diner for a good ol sloppy greezy burger with fries and a chocolate shake.
