Strike 1, Strike 2..........

Morning All.

Again, to all my Cerb Family, thank you for the continued support, prayers and best wishes, it means a lot!

 

Sooooo, as most of you know, I went to the Cancer Clinic at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbour to see if they had any ideas on how to fuck this cancer up.

Got stuck with lots of needles, probes, scans and ended up pissing in technocolour (with the help of alcohol), see previous post...or not!.

 

There was a conference call yesterday afternoon, with myself and the local docs, plus the docs from Toronto and Michigan.

 

Here is the result:

 

-The cancer that attacked the muscle around the shoulder is rare (around 1 in 750 cancer patients have this type floating around) but not so rare they were scratching their heads.

-It spread, however the good news is it missed the lymph nodes under the arm (which would have meant a very short game plan for me!!!)

-However it has spread to the lymph nodes in the neck and the muscle that surrounds the spinal cord (medulla oblongata?) that interfaces with the brain stuff.

Bottom line, they have deemed it stage 3, with minimal options with significant, severe consequences including looking like a zombie with major holes cut out (unless Walking Dead is going for another couple of seasons and they need a new leading zombie !)

.

So will continue with chemo about every eight to twelve weeks to try and slow it down, rest whenever, and live life LARGE until I can't function any more, hopefully 3-5 years, worse case 18-24 months.

 

So unless I get hit by a bus or swallowed up by a City of Ottawa sinkhole, or die in bed because of being drowned by Cerb ladies continuously squirting in my face for three continuous days (the CIA should have done this to the Taliban instead of water boarding!!) I will be around Cerb and you good folks until I can't play any more.

THE OTHER GOOD NEWS.....IS THAT MY TONGUE STILL AND WILL CONTINUE TO FUNCTION UNTIL I AM PUT INTO THE GROUND!!!!!!

 

This weekend will be spent telling family and friends in Southern Ontario what is going on and probably drinking lots of 30 year old Macallum single malt scotch.

Well, that is it for now!

Thank you again

Scotch and beautiful women. I like your style Tom. I've seen too many people accept bad news and just lay down.

 

Live as large as you can as long as you can.

Tom, please read my response to your pm. I can't add to this thread anything other than what I have said. But I will always have your back in the Hope Zone.

 

But you already know that.

I just wanted to say thank you for all the special comments and thoughts, it is really, really appreciated.

Family took the news, digested and then we drank half a case of Dru single malt, and a case of Petit Petit over the weekend. We told stories, jokes, laughed and cried!

So, we move forward!

Hope to attend the Ottawa Christmas social!

Hugs!
