    I swear, was thinking just a few days ago of igotid_8, and was going to check the board for the news. Guess I logged at the right time. Cancer free is good! Here is to a speedy recovery. :)

    Hello everyone!

    I have owed you a update - I haven't been on the boards for a while, busy with doctors.

    To make a long story short, as of my last MRI, I'm cancer free! I've been dealing with some complications but I really feel good, for the most part. Whew! Now, let's get a pj tour going so we can get together!

    Thank you to you all!
    Bill

    That's awesome news, congratulations!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery, and hope to meet you at a future show!!!

    Wow - big news in PJ land! A new website, the Vic bootleg, and I got another clean MRI this week! Knock on wood, but I'm still cancerfree! No doubt, all your prayers and well wishes has helped me out!

    Now, I've got a wedding to plan! July 14 is the day, and it's coming up. Come on out at the end and crash the party - we'll mosh like the old days. Actually, I'm 40, no more moshing for me...

    Long time, no talk - hope you are all well! Back in the hospital for more testing, which sucked, but a visit to the Pit has brightened my spirits!

    I just want to scream - HELLO!

    A year and a half ago, my wife and I were about to hit the road and see PJ in Toronto for two shows. Instead, I ended up in the hospital for two weeks. I found out I had a brain tumor.

    During that time, I came here, The Porch, for support - and I got some!
    viewtopic.php?f=4&t=169766

    Anyway, I just wanted to send out an update: one year from the end of my radiation and chemo, I'm now cancer free!

    An Ohio newspaper did a story on me and my wife, and it is filled with PJ references:
    http://www.vindy.com/news/2013/jan/27/w ... ?newswatch

    Unfortunately, I'm NOT going to Ontario - but I'll be at Wrigley Field! Thanks again for all your support, especially Haydenism!

    Keep on rockin...

    If you are really bored waiting for the new single, I figured I would share this story done by my former TV station. They didn't play up the PJ angle enough, I think!
