i just read anouther article about cell phones and cancer....were you talking out of your ass alot? :P
were you able to able to get your 10c tickets for canada? Hope you win front row and more importantly, beat the shit out of your cancer. and next columbus show, beers are on me.
Oh Rob... I feel so shallow, you PM'd me the other day and I didn't even realise you had made this thread (I hardly ever come around the AET lately)... I read it on the way to work this morning, and it seriously made my stomach drop :(
However I know you are strong, and as you helped Gracie through her tough time she will now help you! Can't wait to meet you up north of the border here (are you doing Calgary and Edmonton as well?). Stay strong and stay positive (as I see you are doing), its never an easy thing. We've lost someone to cancer in this family and I know how hard it is... But I am sending good vibes your way and you know that you are in Sammi and I's thoughts!
I have had almost every test imaginable that involves something being shoved up your butt in the last year.
they like doing that with me, too. wish I had finger cancer :roll:
sounds like you went thru hell. I'm hoping my treatment isn't that bad. I'm hoping for one surgery....and one surgery only.
Yeah, it was rough. No doubt. However, there is a mental stigma attached with the big bad C word, that I never had to experience. Physically it was hell, but even at my worst points mentally I knew that at some point I would get better, and I may have to adapt and change my diet, but that it was mangeable, and tons of people live with this disease.
Early on, I remember going for a colonoscopy, and seeing "Cancer Suspected" written on it and freaking out for about 2 days before they told me it was not. I can't imagine living with that for an extended period of time, you are a stronger man then I am.
Dude, just pray to god you never have to have a barium enema. It is horrible. I literally felt like the hospital had raped me afterwards. I told the nurse she owed me dinner.

i didn't know that :shock:

Yeah I was looking at my chart right before they wheeled me in, big box checked YES next to Cancer Suspected?

Well now at least you are at the home stretch *fingers x'd!
Well, I know that I'm pretty much a total stranger to you...but as a fellow fan of the coolest band ever, I do want to wish you lots of luck and good karma with your treatment. You sound like a positive yet practical guy, and I wish you all the best.
And by the way, you are not 'old'. I'm in my mid-40's myself...and am of the firm belief that 'old' is all in how you approach life. And you don't 'sound' old to me!

Feeling there is mutual. Age is a state of mind. I'm sure there will be times where you'll feel as old as hell but hey, I do every Monday morning. Keep that positive mental attitude and don't neglect that inner child that lurks inside everyone. Laugh and have fun when you can and know we're all out here rooting for you.
Congrats to all the Canucks fans for taking Game 1.
Again Rob hope you're doing well. Atleast as well as you can be. Hope you get to some shows to have fun and take your mind off of this thing.
I had the congregation say a little prayer for ya i hope it brings good times and less pain to you in this trying time. Keep positive and stay strong cancer is a pussy.
Remember we are all thinking of you and sending best wishes and thoughts to you and your family.
DURP's message, and all the others here, have been so strong..and I am with you, too. I just reviewed this thread again and I saw your pic of your port...my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer in 06--she went through a year of chemo and radiation, and her cancer has (thankfully!!) been in remission now for a little over 5 years...she now has a spot on one of her ovaries which they discovered on a routine CT a few weeks ago...but it is not nearly confirmed as it being a recurrence......and, your screen name says it all: 'imalive'!!!!!!! Live every day to the fullest...and I send thoughts and prayers to you and your family for a rapid resolution to your plight, and for you to make the most of every day (as I do for anyone, regardless of health status). Your port looks good....and my mom still has hers flushed every 6 weeks..and she's had it for almost 6 years. You may not always need it. love and hugs. xo
thanks to EVERYONE for their well wishes. They mean a lot and I'm convinced they'll help
I had my first radiation yesterday. It's now a five days a week thing. My first bag of chemo runs out today and I have to go get resupplied. I am happy to report I'm feeling NO ill effects from a week of chemo or the first day of radiation . The crappy bag and pouch they gave me for the chemo pump has been replaced with this:
it's an insulated water bottle holder I found for 10 bucks at REI. amazing how the little things can make a difference!
last week, my wife had a couple friends come up for the U2 concert. These gals brought "care packages" (i.e. baked goods) for me from just about all of my wife's girlfriends. These same girls sent me flowers earlier. Meanwhile, my guy friends have yet to send a card or ANYTHING. My wife's friend said "that's just how women are. Guys would say 'I'll drink a beer for you, bro.' " so true, so true
again, thanks you guys!!

That holder is awesome! Perfect actually, and probably less noticeable. I hope you had a blast at the U2 concert too! I am uber pleased that you are feeling really well since treatment started. A good sign. Enjoy your goodies!
I could try and knit you a sweater vest if you'd like. What size are you and what side do you want the port opening on? Don't worry, your male friends care.They'll just express it with beers instead of cards.
You sound fantastic! Half the battle is maintaining a good attitude and being positive that YOU CAN BEAT IT! I have great faith in you! Hope Miss Gracie is getting you out there to exercise, that will really help with your energy. Lots of love coming from me, Petey & Monty! oxoxoxox

The new pouch looks spiffy. I've known a few people who had to carry infusion packs and they had kind of "serious" looking ones, like they were carrying some sort of business accessory.
Speaking of care packages, I like to bake cakes for people. How about something like this: :P
Rob,
I've missed you around here and was happy when I saw you had posted. However, I must say I wasn't happy to read what's been keeping you away from here. It was almost like you moved to SLC and then quit PJ. Please know you and your wife are in my thoughts. When we met, you sure seemed like the kind of guy that would fight for what you wanted (I say that in the kindest, gentlest way) so I have no doubt you are going to kick this and be back on top in no time. **Hugs**. Take care and keep in touch.

not hardly!! I've been around....we must run in different circles
I am tired as hell today. Hope it is just a lack of sleep and not a portent of what to expect, now that radiation and chemo are going on together :? . I plan on getting a goooooood night's sleep tonight!

I hate fucking cancer... Please kick it's ass for me. You know we are all pulling for you, keep your chin up, listen to the Dr's. When/if you come to NY and you are looking for someone close to your age to hang with at the PJ shows, look me up. I am buying the first round...at least.

The first time I ever pooped blood I called the doctor.
Turns out beet juice will turn pee and poop blood red.
good luck
BEAT THAT MOTHERFUKER called cancer
that is all you need to think about until you are right again
