    Hey man ... whenever you need an ear, you can always get in touch.

    WHEN this is in your rearviewmirror, come on out to San Fran and I'll treat you to a Giants game.

    Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. My thoughts are with you and I'm rooting for a speedy recovery for ya!

    This saddens me greatly to hear this news, but you so obviously are a bad ass and have a great attittude for undertaking this speedbump in the bitch of a road we call life.

    You most definately will be in my thoughts prayers. You will pull through it all, I have faith. Sometimes, you just know these things. Hope to meet you down the road!

    I don't really know what to say.

    However, my thoughts are with you and your family as you take this journey together.

    There is a great documentary on an Irish/Australian footballer called Jim Steynes and his battle. But if anything it shows the determination of an incredible man. It could empower anyone. It is all on youtube...

    Stay strong...

    Wow.
    Sorry to hear man, but keep the positive attitude, it'll help in the battle.
    I was diagnosed with Lance Armstrong cancer in 2001. Fortunately for me it was stage 1, I've been cancer free for nearly a decade now.
    Your battle will require a little more fight than mine (I didn't have to do chemo, only surgery and radiation), but you can beat this.
    Feel free to PM me at any time if you want to talk. I will gladly lend an ear and any insight I may have.

    I'll end this soul baring on a light note.....when I got the news (one week ago), one of my first thoughts was the EV show I have tickets for. not life, not death...eddie vedder! it should be cool...I'll be between chemo and surgery. and then yesterday, I had the surgeon do the math on when my surgery would be. he said "end of September." I told him I needed to see PJ in Canada. He said we'll put it off until October and then asked "can I go with you?" :lol::lol: hopefully, I'll run into some message pit buddies at the shows.
    Thats kind of funny. I had a very similar situation. When I was diagnosed in 2001, it was a Monday, and U2 was in town to play Tues, Wed, Fri and Saturday.
    I had tix to see the Tues, Fri and Sat. showas and my first thought was about the concerts. I aked when the surgery would be scheduled for and my urologist said it needed to be asap, not the following week as I had hoped. It took place on Friday, and of course i missed Friday night's show. On Wednesday I was in for a pre-op evaluation and the surgical nurse noticed my Irish tan and asked about it, I explained that I had spent the previous afternoon waiting in the U2 GA line. Turns out she was a big music/concert fan and we talked at length about shows. I asked her opinion on whether she thought I could make the saturday show and she said she thought it was a possibility. At any rate, I went to the Saturday night show...my wife thought I was insane, but I explained that it was important for me to not let cancer be in charge and we went along with my buddy and his wife. The following week when I went back for a follow up visit, I saw the nurse in the hall and she asked if I went to the show and I told her yes.
    A couple months later when at an appointment with my oncologist I found out that the surgeon had put in my medical file that I went to see U2 the day after my surgery...so now its on my permanent record.
