Rob,
You seem like a very powerful person, Just know that even though the Chemo is detrimentally sickening, that your attitude has the most power. I have all the respect in the world for you and your wife for being as strong as you are! That's a very hard diagnosis to keep your chin up under!! But you seem to be looking at it in the best respect.. Just keep that Toronto goal as inspiration, and you'll make it there!! I will be praying for you, and sending good vibes as well!! keep us posted on your progress, no pun intended..
Just wanted to add good thoughts and prayers your way, Rob. Seeing someone say "Go Giants" I realized you and I have spared goodnaturedly about the Dodgers/Giants in the past. I am really glad to hear it hasn't spread and am sure you will get better.
im not a religious man at all. my girlfriend is a christian and we have a great understanding of where belief and non belief can converge in a sense of spirituality regardless of religion.
i live my life with the strong opinion that treating others well and realising the importance of friends and family and supporting others is what it is all about.
i won't pray for you but I hope you know that I truly wish the best for you and whatever vibes i can send to you, i am. your attitude is genuinely inspiring, and i mean that.
aww Rob, hearts and thoughts headed your way in massive doses! Chin up..although it sounds as if you've got a very good attitude about this whole thing. The fact that you thought about your EV and PJ shows right off the bat shows you in a good place. Heed Ed's advice and just be sound, things will work out. And you are NOT old! There are a lot of kids here yes, and probably mostly 30-somethings, but there are sooooooooooo many of us more or less about your age here in the pit...you might be surprised how many I'm not too awfully far behind ..and if you look at it realistically..the guys in the band are pushing 50 right? And look at them go! Let that be inspiration to you. Keep on top of this...don't put things off too awfully much in the name of PJ...even though its tempting, and it'll be good !
Hugs,
Peace,
jo

"Take care of yourselves and, if you've old like me and have been putting one off, GET A COLONOSCOPY!!!!!"
Thanks for the tip, brother. I'm hittin' 60 in August so if that's old, I'm just about there. I guess it's time for me to buck up and get that colonoscopy.
Meanwhile, good thoughts going up for you. Cures are happening more all the time and we're hoping for one for you soon!
"Don't give in to the lies. Don't give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth. And to hope."
Take each day one step at a time and you will kick cancer's ass. We will all be right here with you each step of the way giving you strength and encouragement when you need it.
Thinking about you Rob. You're going to win by a landslide. :thumbup:

Rob,
Not the news I was expecting to see you post... hadnt been over to AET in too long.
I guess now we just have to check our schedules a little better to see Fresno in town. I WILL BE THERE IF WE CAN MAKE IT WORK! Dont plan any Dr visits on those days! Really, lets get together and watch some ball. I'll be in touch through PM's.
In the meantime, I have you in mind, keeping your spirits up and helping the healing process.
I hope you guys respect my/our decisions for the course of treatment. I'm good with my it, as is my great wife.
Please don't feel the need to seek respect from us here for your decisions made,this is you and your wife's deeply personal journey only the two of you are on.
We are all here but for love,empathy and respect for each other as human bee inns
My sister has been through the process and has come out of the experience stronger,grounded and healthy.I trust the same for you and your wife.
My thoughts are with you today.
Peace

“There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen”
I got my "Power Port" installed yesterday. I stole this picture from the internet. Mine, being a day old, looks much uglier today:
I'll use this thing for "power infusions" of chemo. It's attached to my jugular :shock: . I know that one thing I need to learn to live with is wasted time in hospitals. I hate that! I was there for four hours yesterday. That's not so bad I guess, but the procedure took only about 45 minutes. I think "it" really kind of hit me when I was wheeled into the cold ass room with all the bright lights. I felt great when I left (happy to be out!) but this thing is sore as hell today.
A buddy told me they moved the CA presale to tomorrow. Fuck!! I have a drs. appt tomorrow afternoon (first dose of radiation). I'll figure something out. "Hey doc, could we take a break while I use your computer?"
Thanks for all your kind words!!!!!!!

knowing the people around here, I'm sure someone would. But "member must show I.D., blah, blah, blah." I should be able to find someone to log in as me. It'll take my mind of the radiation. I'll be thinking "I'll bet they forgot. I know it, I know it, I know it."

Amen on a mobile device! Having my iTouch at the hospital/ER when my mom was there helped just to pass time between doctor visits and such. You can download books too to read as well
