mnwildpunk Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I got a shock yesterday when I got a call from my doctor stating that the biopsy they took was positive for cancer and I have to have it removed I go back in a couple of days to find out if I need more done then just removal of the spot. I'll keep you all posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToyLvr Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Dave: Seek treatment IMMEDIATELY, and hang tough. I Was diagnosed with colon cancer last August. Been through radiation, chemo, & surgery, and looks like I may beat it. Treatment is rough, but modern advances have helped beat the Big C; it's not the death sentence it used to be. At least one bit of good news; my time off on medical leave has allowed me to catch up on the model building list! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGNUM4342 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Don't let anyone tell you that you can't beat it. You can and will. You have our support. Get well soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I've had a couple of brushes with similar things and the uncertainty is always the worst part. If it's a small melanoma, just get it looked after immediately and all should be well. A good friend of mine has had several spots appear in the past few years, and has had them all removed by freezing with no long term aftereffects. Now he just stays out of the sun. As everyone else has said, we're all pulling for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porscheman Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Your in my prayers. I suffered a major stroke back in July, lost 60% of left side use and can't talk well anymore, but no more tele-marketer calls because of my speech, also have Parkinson's and I mix paint like no other . I started building cars again in November. I keep building and kept my sense of humor. I will never be the same, but I really enjoy life and have a new appreciation for my health. Stay positive and you'll be around for a long time. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
