freefalle 0 #1 May 23, 2006 Ill preface this with Im .50 drunk and a little upset right now So, I went back to the Dr. today, and got the news I didn't need or want to hear. My tumor has gotten larger. The pain is getting worse, actually, it really frickin hurts. My doctor tried to schedule me for surgery in 7 days. I can't do it, mentally emotionally spirtually I cant deal with it yet. I have come to far in nursing school to miss the rest of this semester, and Im not going to quit. I managed to talk him in to hold off on surgery for 34 days, (after the semester is over and more importantly the rodriguez brothers boogie) I go in the 26 of June for surgery. This is the 5th time I have had to have this done since 1991. Im tired, I hurt and as much as I hate to admit it Im fucking scared. I am 35 years old, I have a 6 year old son, his name is Dylan, he is an awsome little man and I love him. I don't know why this is happening to me but it needs to stop. After they remove the tumor, the dr. will send it off for testing to see if it is cancerous again. Please, if you pray, pray its not. I don't know what else to say. If you are going to the rodriguez brothers boogie I'll see you there, it my be my last one so if you see me lets have a drink. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnsisland 0 #7 May 23, 2006 Chuck, Dylan and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Please post in the days leading up to the surgery and with the results afterwards, when you have a chance. Fighting it since 91, wow that's a long fight. Congratulations on your wins, sounds like you have had quite a few. Keep the fight going this term. I hope your grades are 4.0 this time. Seems that like should be a given, with what you are fighting, but in any case, just keep saluting the Kings and Queens, errr Profs for the rest of the term*. Give Dylan a smile and hug from me, and keep him close to you. Take care, Jeff *You do understand that higher education is a totaltarin, opressive, dicatorial regiem? You have read that joke, right? OK, that's supposed to get you to laugh! Hmm, if you need any more higher ed jokes, let me know! I have a whole bunch of lame higher ed that might give you a laugh.Arch?

McBeth 0 #8 May 23, 2006 I don't do prayers, but your story hit me hard... so I will keep you in my thoughts. I hope you and your son pull through this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImGunnaJump 0 #9 May 23, 2006 I've rewritten this post a couple times trying to find the right words...like the previous poster, your story has also hit me hard. I have a brother fighting cancer now. You've had such a long road to walk, and it must seem endless right now...my prayer is that you have friends and family to comfort you, and that you make a full and complete recovery. You and Dylan will be in my prayers."...I've learned that while the "needs" in life are important (food, water, shelter), it's the "wants" in life (ice cream, chocolate, sex) that make it worth the effort."
