Hey guys, I know I dissappear from time to time.

I get ubber busy working and dont have time to hang with you guys,

Plus on top I know I have never shared before, but Im fighting bone cancer and Multiple sclerosis. I do chemo treatments every 28 days. and sometimes it knocks me on my ****.

So sorry for disappearing on you guys

 

We are here for ya buddy!!

 

Wow, don't ever apologize for taking care of yourself first! Hope the chemo is over soon.

 

No need to apologize! You are an awesome contributor to this forum and I and many others appreciate your contributions. The big C is tough to deal with ( my wife, brother, and father ) but do follow your doctor's guidance and stay as positive as you can. I hope and pray that all goes well for you.
best wishes VMV

 

I have to do the Big C, until the day I die, I have progressive degenerative MS, so its always active. My Neurologist is suppressing my immune system, as well as keeping the cancer in remission at the same time.

I will not be wheelchair bound if I can help it

 

Hey Mafioso, have you looked into any alternative treatments. Conventional cancer treatment is pretty brutal on the body.

 

No apology needed Mafioso - keep fighting bro, we support ya 100%!

 

Hey Mafioso,

Thanks for being open with us on your cancer. It must be difficult to open up to a group of guys whom most you've likely never met. Take good care of yourself buddy. We'll be here when you're feeling up to going online - so no worries!

Look after yourself!
Rob

 

keeping good thought buddy

 

The Cancer is is in check, but in my treatment plan the chemo is continued to suppress my immune system to slow down the MS.

Its lesser of the 2 evils.

thanks to treatments, I've ran from a wheelchair.

I was diagnosed Oct. 2007 and was almost wheelchair bound. Today you cant really tell anything is wrong with me. Im getting much better jsut have my days. lol

 

Super news on your recovery. You make me feel guilty as I am an irregular poster too, without your very good excuses.

 

Thats awesome that you have come that far. Just keep up the fight and the lights will be on here for when your up to it.

 

mainly since Im doing the GB thread on the intake elbows, I wanted to get it out there, if Im delayed to respond, I dont want anyone to think something is up. =]

 

Mafiaso, funny first thing this morning I signed on did some reading and thought, hmm Mafiaso must be on vacation haven't seen him.

I ditto all the above, sounds like you have a great attitude, keep it up and hang in there.

 

haha, no wonder my nose was itching.

I do the best that I can, I dont let my ailments define who I am. I just take it one day at a time.

The worst Im battling like I mentioned is the MS, which at this point I've made it my Bit##. haha

 

Keep staying positive bro like you have been, good things will follow. Having MS is no joke I know how hard fighting it can be. A good friend of mine went thru med school and after finishing up she was diagnosed with MS, but she still practices Med to this day, even tho she's in the terminal stages of it now.

Our prayers are with you.

 

Were all with you 390% but dont apologize, your creation and has opened up more hoods for us STR owners and owe it to you my friend, great info you have provided us and your a strong person to be sharing this with us. Stay positive and great news to be recovery side.

 

well at least , Im under the care of the world leading research neurologist, which Im thankful for, and to the surprise of alot of people I have made forward progress, and I have participated in alot of the research to help others out.

thanks to alot of my blood and other selfless people there is a blood test on the way to help diagnose MS.

I have stopped withering away for now and Im happy for that. I'll take my drunk walk and my eternal headaches and be hapy that I have been able to keep it from getting any worse. =]
