FIGHT OF MY LIFE

MotownMadman · #1 04-15-2004, 11:24 AM

After two days of extensive testing, blood work, cat scans, Xrays, pumped full of dye and god knows what else, it has been reported to me that the cancer monster has struck. I have not been told yet if it is Malignant or not, I almost dont want to know. This will be the first brawl I have ever had where I cant see the enemy face to face, but I sure as hell aint a quitter and I will be this crap. Put your money on me, I wont go down easy.

Matt, dont know what to say except WE and I MEAN WE are all on your side in this battle. Take care of yourself and do what the DOCs say. Recently members from the different boards have been losing way to many good people and thats not right. We almost lost a family member this past weekend with a blood clot in her brain and they were just lucky enough to get to it before she would have left a husband and 2 week old baby by themselves.

Things will work themselves out and I would be willing to bet youll be here on the site posting 10+ years from now. THoughts and prayers during this time go out to you from Hawaii.

Matt,
That's a great attitude, man!

Something about this week... it was a year ago this week that my intestine ruptured and I went under the knife to have 14-inches of it removed. I got bagged and spent the next 12 weeks unable to work. Then they reconnected me and tossed that bag. I had the same attitude as you, Matt -- fight it and decided you'll never let it beat you!

I am very healthy today and I hope that in a year from today, YOU WILL BE TOO.
Good luck, Matt - I'll say a prayer for you and your continued resolve!

Matt,

Lost both Parents to it. Sounds like you may not have a complete diagnosis yet. There are Expert doctors in places like the Cleveland Clinic. If you handle this in the same way you have handled situations on this board You will win hands down. Prayers will help. You will get them from me. Please keep us all posted.

Matt, Hang in there! You got that kick a$$ attitude, that "C" word won't even know what kicked it! Roger

That's the attitude Matt. My mom beat it, my coworker beat it and it takes a fighter which we know you are. Hang in there!

Man my prayers will be with you. It is times like these that will make or break you. You sound like you will not be broken easy so hang in there and we will all have you in our thoughts and Prayers.
