I believe in the old saying that.. who you keep around you defines you. The people you put yourself in the company of shows who you are as a person. I am going to the TS performance event on may 18th. Is anyone on here going?? I just tore my trans out today its being built this week. Im going to be putting my buddies twin turbo dmax on the goose neck loading up and heading down. Look for me there if you are going!!

I never really ask for prayers or thoughts but I need them this time.

About two weeks ago I was having really bad stomach issues and the doc did an MRI on my abdomen and found some interesting and unusual spots on my liver and colon. They also found a mass on my colon. They are going in tomorrow to take a up-close and personal look. I'm sure I will be fine (I hope anyway). Just asking to keep me in yalls prayers.

Done! Hope all turns out ok for ya. Keep us posted!

I am not a religious person..but i do try and talk to my sister when im alone. Idk if thats considered praying... ill tell her to keep an eye on you. Because if there ever was a little girl that was deserving of angel wings it was her. Good luck man. keep us updated.

I read this on FFS man, its some scarey stuff. good luck and keep us posted.

good luck man. hopefully it turns out to be nothin

Here's an update. My mom had surgery almost 2 months ago, they removed the tumor successfully as well as about 13 inches of bowel, it was 13 cm in diameter. They also removed 6 lymph nodes, 3 of which tested positive for the cancer. she woke up with a colostomy bag which they will remove and "hook her back up" with another surgery around thanksgiving. The reason for this is they found some cancer "plaque" near the main artery that feeds blood to her leg, they tried to scrape as much away as possible but it was too risky being that close to a main artery. They had to have her on the temporary colostomy bag so the healing process was shorter and they could get her into chemo sooner. She went in to chemo after 2 weeks instead of the original 6 weeks they estimated before. this is in an effort to get after that plaque they found. She has had 2 chemo infusions with a whole new "cocktail" as they call it, way more aggressive then the the stuff she lad last year and pre surgery. She is scheduled for 2 more and hopefully she will go back into surgery to get this all wrapped up. The radiation treatment is still unknown. And obviously her chances of 100% remission are at risk seeing how they found a little bit of cancer plaque, but hopefully the chemo will take care of it.

dang man, glad to hear they are being proactive with her treatment, just hard to stand by and watch her go through it

Yeah man, we try to let her see her grand baby as much as possible. Mainly to keep her spirits up. The odds of her losin the battle this time around are slim, but we never know when another relapse will come. Either the cancer or chemo will most likely be the cause of her death, but no right now or the very near future. It's just one of those things you need to be honest about and kind of make it a way of life. I do have to say, from a realists point of view that the chemo is really taking a toll on her, it looks like she's aged 3 times as fast. She's at 11 chemos TOTAL with 2 more for now.

yeah man chemo will do that to a person, just part of it.
