right after missoula, I went on a fly fishing retreat for guys who had or have cancer. the coolest guy I met was 45 years old and had a melanoma inside his mouth :shock: . at the time, I thought he had this beat. yesterday, I got an email from him:
"The PET scan showed that the cancer has NOT spread to any other areas of my body. But the 3 original tumors have grown excessively. The largest tumor is 5 times the size it was 3 months ago. On top of that, 2 more tumors have been detected. So the doctors think I have about 6-9 months to live, with or without treatments. They have no evidence that further treatments would sustain my life. So I could die miserable going through treatments, or live a good quality life for the months I have left."
45 years old.....absolutely terrible ....I will count my blessings.

I am really sorry to hear about your friend. Norm and Kyle said it perfectly above me: FUCK CANCER!!! I am sure its hard (impossible?) for him to stay positive when the doctors are anything but; but it does sound like he's approaching it the best way he can: Enjoy life while we can--we never know what tomorrow brings whether we are sick or not.
The past year or so has been a whirlwind for me but I am happy to have access to the forums again at work and be able to check in more often
Thanks again for the christmas letter. It sounds like you had a great year and kept yourself busy! Wish I coulda made it to Missoula to see so many friends (yourself included) but it wasnt in the cards--too much time off of work for surgery and Europe tour last year (and too much money spent!). Stephen went and enjoyed himself- picked me up a couple nice things and went to the meet and greet- so those are great memories and pics he shared with me
Are you coming to Wrigley??

Hey, you're feeling so good but you couldn't make it to a Who show? Not even to hear Quad? Or Vintage Trouble opening? Too busy skiing? Man, what a sense of priorities. :roll: :P

I agree with you on both of those but this Quad tour is AMAZING.
Anyway, I just have to give you some shit and fulfill your complaint that I turn every thread into a Who thread.
It's a lovely 39 degrees and feels a little like spring. So what that theawn still has the leftovers from this weekends 'dump'. Got 5-6 inches of heavy wet snow Saturday morning.
Thought I would check in too.
Hope things are ok. I hope your friend is ok, well as best as he can be.
I had some cancer related issues of my own last month, all pretty scary (all resolved too).

Hi Rockin' Rob :wave:
I am glad I stopped in here today...it's been awhile... :oops:
It's awesome to see you are keeping busy :thumbup:
Lots of love, light and hugs
just got the results of last month's CT scan....all is good :thumbup:
'cept I do have to see a dermatologist about a suspicious "mass." I would call it more of a "bump."

I just saw my dermatologist last week for a suspicious thingy that had me freaking right out - I'm at a very high risk for developing melanoma, so anything that comes along gets me and doctors worried. No cancer again! :thumbup: I hope the same for you! I've got my fingers crossed for you.

First part is the best damn news I've had in a very long time! Awesome on you Rob!
The second part I'm not going to worry about because I know you'll kick its sorry little shitty ass whatever it is. Maybe its time for the accupuncture, petuli and zucchinis? Maybe that's it, you're allergic to zucchini :fp:
Best to Codie and Gracie! Really do wish I'd see that SF jersey in Wrigley. Rob? Rob? Hello Rob?
Peace & love my friend to you and yours................

Hey Rob! How the hell are you? I've been through the shit of late but I read your post on the Fancy Pants thread and howled like a hyena! You should do some stand up my man. Any open mic nights around your house? Petuli oil zucchinis acupuncturists and fancy pants restuarants and Vegas fire fighting has got to provide plenty of material, yes? Let me know if you need backing! Last Comic Standing, Rob Green from Salt Lick, err I mean Salt Lake!
I hope you an Codie and Gracie are well and enjoying those great beers, fishing and grilling now that its summer! You get any Sam Adam's Summer Ale out there in Mormon Country? Lemme know and if you don't, I'll send you some (shush, don't talk about it cuz the NSA is listening and they'll tell Mable behind the post office counter and I'll be up shits creek, seeking asylum in Ecaudor or Iceland).
Looking like your Giants are wild card contendas, I tell you, contendas! Sure do wish you were coming to Wrigley as its looking like the Fall tour is going to be in 2016! Ha!
TWO YEARS AGO today, they cut out my cancer (and some other stuff. too). when I finally decided something (bad) was going on with me, I weighed 148 pounds....I'm now up to 183. it's been a long road but I feel great. today, unfortunately, will be my 19th day in a row of working without a day off :roll: . I MAY get a day off tomorrow.
I still get a bit misty when I see or remember all the acts of kindness I experienced from people on the board. there were dark days that you guys pulled me thru. I'm not going to try to remember all your names.....I know who you are and you know who you are. PJ pulled me thru too......an EV concert was the carrot on the string after my chemo in 2011 and PJ vancouver happened a month after my surgery.
I wouldn't wish this shit on anyone but the silver lining is the friends I've met on this board. some I've met in person....others I still need to meet. here's hoping I see you in portland or spokane!
for those who don't go into the doggie thread, you might not know our sweet, sweet Golden (Gracie) is on her third cancer at the age of five :( . she has beat mast cell cancer twice but is now getting chemo for her lymphoma. the lymphoma will take her sometime in the not to distant future. send all your vibes you used to use on me to her
