Mike,
So very sorry. May God bless you and your family. You will be in our prayers. I'm sure the next time all the CF members rev up their car's they'll be thinking about you.

Mike, Go to a place in your home alone and say the following.

Jehovah God, creator of all things and absolute ruler of all creation, forgive me for my ignorance and selfish ways and have mercy on me. I thank you for all the gifts you have given me. Remove this calamity of ill health from me. Have it not be my way but your will. I thank you and ask this of you through your son Jesus. Amen.

Most important, do not thank me.

Mike,
Hang tough and keep fighting. Try to keep a positive attitude as much as possible,it is so important for any healing.

At the risk of appearing self promoting or exploiting some one in need,I am going to post this for all to see. I am only doing so because I truly believe this could help you,and/or maybe someone else.. Shame on me and everything I stand for if I were to exploit someone in such need at such a time. I truly mean that.

http://www.mushroomstudies.com

http://www.inforce4life.com

This is an fda approved dietary supplement to support and boost the body's natural immune system. Although the company above makes no claims in treating,curing or mitigating any disease,it is quite interesting that in Japan, insurance companies cover the cost of this(PSK) in conjuction with conventional cancer treatment.

Another thing I find interesting are these quotes directly from the American Cancer society's website, yet we don't hear about it or are prescribed it from most of our doctors in the USA:

"Clinical trials suggest that PSK may help people with certain types of cancer by increasing survival rates and lenghtening periods of time without disease, without causing major side effects"

"In the 1980's,the Japanese government approved the use of PSK for treating several types of cancer. In Japan, PSK is a best-selling anti-cancer drug where it is currently used as a cancer treatment along with surgery,chemotherapy,and radiation therapy"

"Researchers have found that PSK, one of the substances that can be extracted from Coriolus versicolor,has several anti-cancer properties."

I sincerely hope this helps,and that you look further into it, there is so much more to it.

I will say a prayer for you,...and don't give up! God Bless

So I would like to say thanks for all the good information over the years I've gotten here from you folks on maintaining my '66 BB Coupe and my '99 vert. I feel I have many friends here that I have never met.
I currently am living as best I can, using three month segments. I am in the end of the second segment. I want to say good buy now while I still can.
So, when your driving down a winding road or on a city freeway, give the load pedal a punch and remember me.

God Bless and I pray that Jesus carries you through well!
