    we all love you very much and you fight as much as you feel ya can you can win and we are all praying!!!
     
  4. Stay Positive. That's my biggest bit of advice. I just went through a 6 month chemotherapy treatment. I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma and my Cancer is now in full remission. I was blindsided by the diagnosis and just told myself that this is just another thing in life that I am gonna have to overcome and never once did I think about dying, I just thought about what I had to do to beat it. My prayers go out to you and your family. Just stay positive and hang in there. Everything will work out in the end.

    Lost my Dad and my sister to C and have been helping my wife fight it for the past four years. She's good now and we plan on living together a long time. It's beatable and cureable. Keep a positive attitude fight it like hell. Keep busy on your projects and stay focused on getting through each day, one at a time. You will be OK.....think positive!

    stay positive brother!!!

    cancer scares the shit out of me too man but nothing is worth giving up for!

    some people get diagnosed with stage 4 and live long long lives.

    Just make sure that when you are going through this shit that you keep room in your heart for love, when we get scared we sometimes shut out everything else.

    let the people that you love know that you do.

    I wish you well brother.
     
  9. Hang in there. I've been there, got the scars. We're pulling for you.

    Hey Bud - I'll keep you in my prayers! I had thyroid cancer... I was blessed to get it all out when they took out my thyroid. Hang in there!
     
  12. Only can offer what others have already said. Staying positive will help the most but it doesn't hurt to be angry at the cancer. Live your life, be happy when you wake up in the morning, that you woke up. Don't be afraid to ask friends for help getting things done that you want done.

    My wife is a 7 year survivor of Stage III Oligodendrogiloma brain cancer.

    Absolutely think positive!

    First, Fuck cancer, fuck it right in the ear. I beat Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma and am right at the 2 years clear mark.

    Watch your diet, look into DCA (I took it, it helped), get rest, work with your doctors and keep a POSITIVE ATTITUDE!

    Diet is CRUCIAL! CUT OUT SUGAR AND CARBS! And STOP ALL HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!

    It's absolutely NOT a death sentence! Im proof of that!

    That's well said and good advice for all of us. Good luck 48flthdf1.
     
  15. Fall back on your faith. Many people are beating this Big C now days. Easy for us to say I know we don't have it. Hang tough.

    Dont let the doctors give you a expiration date. My aunt was given a couple years and told that she wouldn't get to see any of her kids graduate. She lived almost another 10 years, saw all of her kids graduate and one of them graduate from college. Ive lost alot of family members to cancer, But I have watched just as many beat it. Keep you chin up and keep workin on the F1.

    If my back wasn't so screwed up I would gladly make the drive to help you work on your truck. In fact, why don't we get a group of hambers together to help you get it finished. I know there is alot of hot rodders on the west side, and I am sure there are plenty that would love to help. Like I said, if my health was better I would gladly donate some of my time.

    Years ago, there was an article in Readers Digest about a guy that beat cancer. He had just lost his wife and was on his way home from the funeral. There were hippies (it was a long time ago) hitch hiking. He had never picked up hitch hikers before but he did on this occasion. As they drove on, the hippies asked why he was so down. He said he had just buried his wife and he found out he had cancer. The hippies told him, "No sweat man, it's your diet!". He got mad but didn't say anything.

    A few days later, he got a letter and book in the mail, it was from the hippies. It was about a healthier diet (like brown rice). He had nothing to lose so he tried it. He ended up beating cancer back when cancer was a death sentence. He wrote a book, hence the article in Readers Digest.

  21. Remember the old drag racing adage-
    "There is no race,
    for second place"

    You can beat this.
    You can kick it's cancer ass clear into next week.
    Keep positive.
    You have people praying for you that you don't even know, or have ever heard of.
    Any time you need to vent, these guys know what it's like, a lot of them, so go ahead, and vent.

    I too am a survivor. Hell If I can beat it, you can too. Unfortunately, it's one of those things in life you've got to fight yourself. But it sure does make you feel better inside knowing that there are bunch of guys here on the HAMB, that are another part of your family, in your corner, rooting for you, praying for you and willing to do anything within our power to help you thru your tough times.

    So...Enough with my words. Use your ole pitty towel today, that's ok by us. But come back in here tomorrow and tell us that you've got a better day in store.


    Best wishes, and God Speed on beating the old "C".

    Just wanted to bring this back to the top and encourage you along with everyone else here. My dad has had 4 bouts with cancer. One they cut, one got heated (radiation) one got chemo and the last one (skin cancer) they keep checking on regularly and trimming anything suspicious. His first bout was in 1987 and he's still with us, living a productive life.

    By all means, keep a positive attitude. When my dad was taking chemo, he had some bad juju in his life. He got rid of what was holding him down and the next Dr visit, the doc asked him, "What did you do differently?" He could SEE a difference! It does help! The doctor said, "whatever you're doing, keep it up!"

    Yes, it sux. Yes, sometimes the cure makes you wonder if it's worse than the cancer. You can say that it's easy for anyone who hasn't gone through it to say that but, just remember two things, Those who love you ARE going through it with you, even if they aren't getting the treatments personally. And, your part is to let them go through it with you by helping wherever they can.

    Be thankful for the perspective focus. It allows us all to put life into perspective and value those friendships and relationships that we could otherwise take for advantage, no matter how long we live.

    C5rider couldn't have said it better.
    Been there twice myself, and sure it sucks, but you have to keep a positive attitude.
    When you first find out, it's like the end of the world.
    Then you find out that you have some options.
    That's where the hope starts.
    Then you get pissed and you decide it's not your time yet and it's time to fight!!

    My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Do what you want do, do what you're able to do.
    None of us knows how much time we have.
    My thoughts are with you.

  30. Totally agree, a positive attitude can make a huge difference, had a friend down home who about 20 years ago was given months to live, hes a stubborn bastard and fought it day and nite. Hes beat it and is as fit as a fiddle. Mate I wish you all the best in your fight and Im sure im speaking for everyone here when I say this.
