You guys are putting a lot of pressure on me

 

David, Our prayers are with you.

Try to enjoy the friends and family as much as you can. Have some fun.

Although I have lost some family members to cancer, there have been some that the original prognosis didn't turn out as bad as expected. My brother and his wife both had cancer and are doing fine now. I had cancer over 40 years ago and they told me I would not live a year. I had cancer again 3 years ago and they told me I would not live a year. I also have a brain tumor and not to mention heart problems, but I still feel good.

So I have adopted a plan to make the most of my time and enjoy all the things I can.

I hope you can find a plan to enjoy every minute and have some fun. Hopefully for long time.

 

All the best in Your fight

 

Cancer is not a easy thing to deal with. I have lost to many family and friend members to it. The most I can say is I hope it does not ruin the rest of his life. If he is still feeling well and feeling good he needs to live to the fullest and enjoy life. Just because one is sick does not mean that they have to stop living or get depressed.

Cancer does not like a alkaline environment if he does the best he can to eat foods that keep his body in a alkaline state and not acidic he will feel much better and possibly live longer.

 

But only in the best sense. Without you making the forum brothers and sisters aware of Davids plight, he would be deprived of the forum support and outpouring of best wishes to him and his family. Thank you Sir!

Keep your spirits up ... I admire your attitude.

 

I am so sorry to hear the news. My prayers go out to David and the family.
About 3 years ago I lost my brother in law to cancer. He was also a Corvette enthusiast. I had to sell his C6 and it was a hard thing to do. God Bless!

 

My wife lost her husband to lung cancer. He was in his 40's. I lost my previous wife to breast cancer. She was only 55. It came back 3 times on her. She was + thinking all along. And very much into vettes and the vette scene. The last month was under hospice care.

We are all terminal. Life must carry on. Just do the best you can.

 

I'm very sorry for the diagnosis. My prayers are with you.

 

First, I want to thank Paul and all of you good people here on the forums for your support and encouragement.

Finally, the pathology reports are conclusive as Peritoneal Mesothelioma, Epithelia and Sarcomatoid types.
It is asbestos caused and there is no cure.
NOW the Most recent and positive info. I went to Duke Universty Medical Center one of a few that use a new and GOLD STANDARD treatment process called CRS (debulking) and HIPEC a heated chemo. It is a 5-10 hour on the table process. If it does not kill you or serious complication are not experienced, the recovery is 60-90 days. It has the potential to extend life 36-100 months. I am scheduled for surgery on December 6th. If the initial laparoscopic stage of evaluation indicates that most of the tumors can be taken out, then the major incision is made and tumor removal begins. Spleen, tumors, omentum, part of stomach and, perhaps, part of intestines will go. Then 1.5 ours of hyperthermic,intrabdominal chemo will be circulated in entire abdominal cavity. Then cool down and closure. Sounds like real fun, but I am on-board and have already gotten my immune vaccinations. Of course, if he cannot do it , back to square one, lots of ganja and morphine. Got to roll the dice and hope for a good procedure and outcome. Currently, my weight is stable and I have little pain. Have resumed execise routine. ill keep you posted.
God Bless All,
David

 

***** CANCER!!! My wife (35) and my mother (64) are BOTH fighting breast cancer, and my grandfather was taken by lung cancer at 65 when I was a boy. Don't go out without one hell of a fight!!!

 

Been thinking of you Dave, I guess at this point we just keep our fingers crossed and pray. The very best to you and your family.

 

I have lost my sister and a good friend this year to cancer. I hate to hear news like that. Sounds like you have build up trust with your friend and for him to ask you that favor speaks a lot about you. With respect, Mike

 

I hope you get the 100 months and then some.

 

Be strong David you have a lot of people in your corner cheering you on, you can do this!!! My boys and I will have you in our prayers we say every night.

 

I don't think any choice of words helps to ease the pain one feels when thinking of losing a friend or loved one, I hope David is able to enjoy whatever he chooses to do and wish him well.
Prayers for both David and his family

 

You and your family are in my thoughts David. Wishing you the best of outcomes on your pending procedures and hoping you are enjoying and savoring each and every minute with all those that are important to you. Please take good care. Sincerely, Mike P.

 

Absolutely best of wishes to you and yours Dave.

 

That sounds like some pretty serious surgery. Will keep you in my prayers.

 

Sorry to here about David. our prayers are with his family.
