still in my prayers beast, godspeed, brother :wink:

Still praying & believing for a 100% recovery on this... thanks for the update. Scoot

Thanks guys. Starting treatments end of October. Should be done first week of December. They say I will probably be really tired toward the end of the treatments and possibly lose some hair. Maybe I'll be as good looking as Harbone then. :lol:

I want to get rid of all of my hair but the wife pitched a bitch. :roll: she said if I did she would do the same :shock: :shock:

I am sure everything will go great Mike, you know we will all be pulling for ya :D

Go for it!!!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Mike-

Positive thoughts my man. Positive thoughts.

They will lock on the tumor with the radio, and it will be taken care of. Pinpoint accuracy and they will get the whole thing.

Just a minor inconvenience on the way to recovery-

Take care Ole Beast.

Mike, this will be over soon. Doc's gonna take good care of you. Call me anytime you want!! Don't worry your hair will grow back. I think mine's gone for good :cry:

Well starting radiation treatments on Nov 9 with the last on Dec 23. A total of 31 treatments. I get weekends off and four days at Thanksgiving. Hopefully this will take care of it.

God speed on a fast recovery...

Thanks guys. Not sure what to really expect as far as how tired this will make me after awhile. Oh and proably some hair loss but that will grow back eventually.
I'll keep you guys informed on how things go.

Beast will keep you in our prayers.

prayers sent for a speedy recovery. kick its butt Mike!!

Thanks for the update. I will pray fa ya. Believe it... expect full recovery... God is the author of healing & peace. We are afflicted by the worlds imperfection & the enemies attacks, but faith completely overcomes these trials. I don't mean to sound like I'm trying to preach a sermon here; I am saying I think you will overcome this by faith & keeping a clear, positive mental state in spite of how you may feel at times. I expect to hear a story of triumph when this is all over & how you are stronger after. You will own this deal with God's grace!! BTW: don't worry about the hair... I shaved my head 2 days ago so I don't have bed-head anymore. :lol: (true story) Scooter

Yeah Scoot, I'm trying to stay positive. I'd like to see a pic of the noggin. That's cool but it's the wrong time of year to go hairless around here. :lol:

how did the first week go ? hope all went well.

The first week went good. The treatments don't take any time at all. From the time I leave my car and get back in it, it's about 10 minutes.

good to hear

How are you feeling?

So far I'm feeling OK. I've had 4 out of the 31 treatments so far. They said I'll probably feel pretty tired towards the end of this.
Call me crazy :shock: but last friday after each time they zapped me I swore I could smell something burning. I was told yah, that was your skin. :shock:
Today I didn't notice that. :)

glad to hear all is going well. :)

Dang... I always wondered what it would be like to have those treatments. I guess you can't really relate until your there. I am glad to hear you are feeling okay. Praise God... keep your chin up.

Thanks guys for checking up on me. The doc says I'm going to look funnier than I already do when the hair falls out, because it's only going to be in the few spots where they are hitting me with radiation. I'll probably look like a dog with mange. :lol:

Well I had my last radiation treatment yesterday. :D Now I'll just do the normal things and wait to get my energy level back. They said it could take up to 2 months. I kept pretty much all my hair now just dealing with some headaches till the swelling goes down.

Thanks again guys for thinking of me and keeping me in your prayers.


Mike

Hi Beast :)

I just wanted to take a minute to wish you the happiest of holidays and to tell you what an inspiration you are.

You are going through the type of thing that would bring many of us to our knees, yet you keep plugging away, taking your meds, getting your tests, undergoing the most difficult of things while still staying up and keeping a great attitude.

I wish I could be the kind of man you are.

Hang in their partner- You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Kick its a$$.
