Sorry to say,but I do have lung cancer !

[wes]

You'll beat it brother.  You have to stick around for the sake of Getbig.

You know it my friend!

Thanks bud !!

[Slapper]

OK doctor................ar e you trolling or just a tool or both?

No disrespect if you`re serious but I just can`t accept that you are.

Trying to be nice here bro,but you sound ridiculous.

Wes, I’ve had 19 family members get biopsies in the past 37 years.

None, NONE, showed cancer.

I’m not trying to be funny. It’s a running joke in my family every Christmas.

I’m the only one who refuses to get my prostate or colon checked.

[wes]

Truly Devastated to read this mate but sounds like they caught it early so hopefully treatment will be quick and effective, not religious so won’t say the whole keep in my prayers shit will be keeping everything crossed and my hopes high and you in my thought my friend you are a true legend  here and great man wes

Henda,you`re a great guy.......thank you for the kind words and positive thoughts my brother.

[wes]

I just wanted to add that getbig is great with the greatest members ever.

You all rock, and in all honestly,I needed to hear these positive affirmations as I wasn`t in a good place at all mentally..

Thank you all for being so kind and being there in my time of need.

I hope that I never have to reciprocate to any of you in any type of similar situation.

PEACE

OK,I`m sorry if I misjudged you..I really am, but not following up on medical issues is not the way to go...........for me anyway.

I still have lot of stuff I`d like to do on this great big blue marble.

Good luck to you and yours bro.........I hope they did the right thing.

I never went to see a doctor in many decades unless my arm was hanging by a thread,then and only then would I go..........this year,colitis which caused me to lose over 30 pounds of muscle and to look like a human wraith with a deathmask on..................lite rally looked dead....no shit it was a wake up call.

Also had 2 polyps removed from my colon............somethi ng I had always said fuck you to...........not letting some fag probe my ass........well that fag was a woman and even if it was a man,I was the one looking at it in a stupid manner............their trained medical professionals.

As I said,good luck to you and your family,I hope no harm befalls them due to their lack of seeking medical treatment for medical issues.

Hope it goes well for you sir.

Keep us updated please.

Reading some of the responses to this thread and my head is shaking.


Hopefully the biopsy will be benign and not malignant. Again hopefully it's small enough to treat and it hasn't metastasize to other organs or lymph glands. Prayers Wes for your recovery. Keep us informed of your health. I'm sure your doc will give you a good path to follow to regain your health. Whether it's chemo, operation, or radiation I hope they will fix the problem.  Lung cancer is very deadly but it sounds like you got it early.  

[wes]

Hope it goes well for you sir.

Keep us updated please.

Thanks buddy,I`ll keep you guys posted hopefully with good news.

[NarcissisticDeity]

Sad news indeed. With any luck they caught it early enough. Sorry to hear Wes. You'll make it through this you have the mentality to face adversity and come out on top. you're in my thoughts.

Thanks Rich,much appreciated my friend.

As far as what my doc told me this morning it is confined to just that one spot on the lung.........not great,but it could be far worse as you alluded to.

It is malignant however..............jus t hoping they get it all.

Thanks again Rich...........means a lot to me bud as I have always respected you as a person and though I have done roids,I respect you for not doing them........... and taking that stance isn`t always an easy one because we know we can improve our performance and bodies but you chose not to do them and that speaks volumes.

I never expressed this to you before but I wish I had the balls to have not done them,but I seem to have no health issues regardless.............. .unless this cancer was caused by them ! 

Only kidding about that last remark ! LOL

Appreciate the kid words bud.

[Coffeed]

Good luck to you.

[wes]

Good luck to you.

Thanks brother!

Thanks,you`ve been a true friend and have made my spirits higher when they were at their lowest.

I appreciate that.

Strangely enough,this morning after getting back from the doctors,I was pissed off and severely depressed.............I have depression and anxiety issues anyway,but my point is,after logging on here which took me hours to do,I feel much more confident because of you and the guys here that are like you.

You have all helped me a lot................18 years of sobriety was in question this morning too,and my sobriety means the world to me...................... ...drinking was always my temporary fix to escape realitys problems at least until I sobered up again then they were usually compounded due to my drunken idiocy.

I didn`t really think I`d risk that 18 years sobriety,but the thought was looming and rearing it`s ugly head repeatedly because that was all I knew back in the day, I`m not much, but without being sober I`m less than nothing.

Thanks for being there brother and thanks to the guys on this board,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.still the best BB forum on the net bar none!

[Fortress]

Wes, you stay positive and be aggressive in your thinking as it pertains to this challenge.

Life is a funny thing. Dust in the wind and all that.

But while a man is here, it is essential he live as a man. Stare down the barrel and raise a fist to the sky.

Hail!

Thanks for those inspiring words Rob,and that`sc exactly what I intend to do bud.

At first I was scared,(still am but not nearly as much) but now I`m pissed and ready to beat this fucker.

Thanks again Rob.

[Coach is Back!]

In the right lower lobe there is a nodule identified worrisome for malignancy

Measuring 3.0X2.2 cm.

Pet scan is recommended.  There is calcification over the right hemidiaphragm consistant with some plural calcifications.

No other significant findings.
IMPRESSION:a 3.ox 2.2cm. right lower lobe lesion,very concerning for a primary lung malignancy.

PET CT recommended and./or biopsy.

Doctor told me that it is very small and they caught it early so chances are good.

Got a biopsy scheduled for Thursday Nov. 7th.

Lucky thing I`m sober because back in the day I`d be immersed iin my second quart of JD by now.

Oh well,nobody to blame but myself.

Wes, brother, I’m so sorry to hear that. Hang in there I’m sure everyone, especially me, has your back🙏🙏🙏

[Tapeworm]

That shit doesn't know who it's dealing with. Kick its ass, Wes!

[The Scott]

I was just told of this by a friend and so asked for a new password, which I will doubtless forget right after logging out.

Wes, you are a good man.  This is known to all by your words here and your life outside this place.  It is my hope that you will be well for many years to come and that at the end of all things it will be revealed to you that what you thought was the end of a journey is really a new beginning.

Trust me on this, my brother.  In all ways and for always be well, Wes.

[hardgainerj]

[US MUSL]

Wes sorry to hear my friend. Stay strong, and we are all here for you.

You are in my prayers.

[Primemuscle]

Oh yeah, he should, I’m not saying otherwise.

Look, my mom, wife, dad, sister-in-law and a platoon of family members have all been diagnosed, at one time or another, with the dreaded “abnormal finding” and put through the much-feared plethora of x-rays, scans, MRIs and biopsies. NONE, I repeat, NONE, showed anything serious. Even mammographies have a dismal record: only 1 in every 8 end up with a cancer diagnosis. There are studies that show a linkage to the constant x-rays associated to mammographies and breast cancers.

Would you trust ANYTHING that has a 12% rate of success?

Your original post to Wes seemed as if you were advising him to ignore his doctor's advice and not bother with a biopsy. It is good that you clarified this.

My personal experience is different from your family's. Lab results indicated that my PSA was going up quickly. As a result, I had a biopsy which was positive for prostate cancer. Exactly where it was located and what stage it was in. Because of early detection, I have been prostate cancer free (remission) for many years. My PSA continues to be undetectible. Had my doctor and I not been proactive, this story would not be so good.

[Moontrane]

Hang in there, Wes!  Kick its ass!

[will938]

Shite news wes, hopefully caught early enough and treatable
