Good morning everyone!
I know it's early to be talking about Christmas gifts, but I wanted to share this with you all, cause you all had something to do with it! I didn't do anything to do with trains yesterday and here is why!
For the past 3 years I have been battling with stage 4 cancer of the head and neck. I went threw 71/2 weeks of radiation everyday, had surgery on my neck to remove 36 limphnodes, and on top of that I had 2 years of chemo.
It really took its toll as I have lost most of my teeth, 75% of my hearing, about 50% use of my right arm for roatation, and the ability to work full time. Not to mention the hardship put on my wife, kids and brothers and sisters, along with my friend. At one point the Dr. told the wife and I to get things in order cause there was 6 months left! LOL He was WRONG!
Now the Best Christmas Gift EVER! I went to the Hospital yesterday so they could take the PORT they used to give me chemo every week for 2 years.
I am happy to tell everyone that my cancer is in remission and can not be found! I had a great support group! My wife was there with me everyday along with GOD! My kids when they could, family as much as they could. But here is the best part, because of OGR forum you were all here for me everyday! Days when I didn't want to hear from anyone, do anything, I was always able to come here and be in my own little world!
I want to take this time to thank you all so very much for putting up with me as you all helped me get where I am today!
CANCER FREE!
I am truly happy for you and your family!
