Addy 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2004 EDIT: Just realised this has already been posted. So in order to not completly waste your time, he's an update from Earthquake: What can I say? I thought I'd get the usual 10-15 responses, and last I checked it is up to 119! I also did check the other links that someone posted. I have to tell you, reading all the posts of support and memories is awesome. I get goosebumps I'm so touched. I truly feel blessed to have your support. You are all just the best. I mean it. I really will be coming here in the rough times. I don't know how rough they'll get but my daughter knows this site, and if I can't get to the computer, she'll print it out for me. My cancer doctor was a little negative yesterday kind of bumming me out. He actuall;y said to me and my wife that the situation is "grave". Today the radiologist said the success rate is quite good on this type of cancer so I'm sure i misheard my cancer doctor, he must have said the situation is all "gravy" from here. Because I said it once and I'll say it again, I do not feel like I'm dying! Overly optimistic or just stupid, that's the way I feel. The posts I read here lift me up. I've posted on the other forums that this is the main site I'll be checking. I feel at home here. I've been trying to get into the top centers in the USA, but so is everyone else so I'll probably be staying locally in old Sanford, Florida. I guess D-Day will be this Thursday.I will receive my first chemo treatment that day. Then there's no turning back until I get this beat. Kind of scary knowing the damage it will do to my body, but will do it looking to the day it's all gone. Once again, thank you all, and I will return. You're all great, and you're all my friends.
