Many of you know I'm dying of bone cancer.
Last month I was certain this would be my last summer and gone by winter, but then the doc tried one last med.
It's working, to a degree, by spleen is shrinking from its 300% increase, so I feel a bit better.

But it seems to have already plateaued, but it's better than it was, I have a bit more energy, but still not enough.
I may have gained one more summer with all of you..

Thanks sir. It is definitely in Gods hands.
Regardless, I'm fine with whatever decision he makes.

God's will be done. I have heard that saying all my life, I never understood it fully until someone close passed away. I hope you are in God's plan for several more years.   I do believe someday we will all meet, I can not wait to shake your hand.

I know God watched/guided my entire life, because he blessed it at every turn, even when things were at there worst, he gave me what I needed to get back on track. I always listened to what he had to say.

I'll be waiting my friend!
You'll know it's me, I'll be surrounded by a shit load of dogs, cats and wildlife.

Thanks VVet, If I stay or go, it was always in his plan. I'm good with whatever happens.

It won't be the first time I died, and I remember how badly I wanted to stay, but I was told it wasn't quite my time, that I had a lot to do yet.
I guess I'm done.

I haven't been here in awhile and sadly stumbled on this thread.  I am very sorry to hear this. When were you diagnosed?  The 5 year survival rate is pretty high.

Whatever happens we'll all be there with you on the other side in our own time.

A person who has a heart for God's creatures has a good soul.  God looks after those who look after His little ones

Thanks Carl, yeah, it's been awhile.
For me it's a quality of life thing, I won't stick around an be a burden to anyone, so when I can no longer enjoy the simple things, I'll check out.
Yeah, it's true, man created time, so it will only be a flash of a second when everyone follows.

I rarely venture outside of the political discussion areas, so I'm just seeing this.
 
I had a friend that, after years of unresolved sinus issues, was found to have a large, cancerous tumor in his right nasal cavity.  Stage 4 at that point.  He also felt as though his time was short, but a combination of chemo and other treatments has him in remission and basically back to normal.

Don't give up.  The human body can be surprisingly resilient.

I hope you beat this thing.

As do I, but my time is quickly running out. I'm down to a couple of 'OK' days a week now, as compared to OK days all week just a couple of months ago.
I literally stay indoors, to the point, I can't even take the quad down to the creek with the wife and dogs, where I used to toss their toy in the creek.

It is what it is. That's life.
