Sorry to say,but I do have lung cancer !

Got a follow appointment to last weeks lung biopsy tomorrow at 10 AM will let you guys know the verdict when I get home.

Not much. In this case before I responded I checked post history looking for a time when Wes indicated he wanted to hear peoples personal religious beliefs. I didn't find one. So Mikes post was  just him taking an opportunity to push his religion on someone who may be vulnerable. Had Wes indicated at anytime he was looking for perspectives on spiritual healing/beliefs I would have scrolled past. To make my post equal to Mikes, I would have needed to out of the blue, start talking about how silly religion is in 2020 and that Wes would be better off sticking to science and what the Oncologists say. That didn't happen.   Now I'm more than willing to let this drop. We can continue it in another thread if you feel you still have points to make.

What point did I make with my question? You seem very upset that someone would dare question your anti-religious stance.

Because in his mind, as he said in a previous post here, he has to keep things sane. He knows the real truth and anyone that disagrees with him are not sane people.

Good luck my friend

Thanks guys I appreciate all the kind words.

I just got back a few minutes ago so I`m gonna eat and have a coffee then I`ll explain more...........pretty uneventful actually but the doc did confirm that I do in fact have Cancer which I had no doubt about anyway.

Now I have to weigh options.

Just a bit more to tell you guys but I`m starving so I`ll be back (Said in my best Arnold voice )

Excellent Wes, get a plan and work it just like contest prep.

I can hear you saying "I'll be back" as if you were standing in my living room right now. But, you are not and I am concerned. This is one very leisurely meal you're having. Where did you go?

[wave_length]

Wes, your brothers in iron will always be there for you, remember that. Stay strong.

[wes]

Thanks as always guys and great to see you here wave_length.......it`s been a while buddy.

OK The doc confirmed that I do indeed have Cancer.......a tumor about the size of a quarter on my lower left lobe.

He says he can remove it with surgery but I was quick to remind him that his close friend and associate told me that my lung capacity was so bad that if I layed down for surgery i would never get up again.

I have the worst stage of COPD and any removed lung tissue would just kill me according to the first pulmonary doc I spoke with.

So any way he says lets go for a walk .............so we climb 2 flights of stairs and we`re talking and he says that since I can talk that it`s a good sign.................... I then started to get a bit winded but of course I had a fucking mask on which didn`t help.

So we get back to his office and he says he`s gonna consult with the other doctor and one other doc I saw that ran tests on my lung capacity and then come up with the best plan of attack.

The doc that told me my Cancer was inoperable and that I`d never pull through told me about a ray (not chemo) that was just about 95 % as effective as surgery...............th is doc says if I get the ray chemo has to go along with it......fine with me !!

Personally, and I dont care about what anyone thinks, my white ass isn`t laying down if there is a chance of me not getting back up..............that doc put the fear of God into me.

I think,but I`m not sure, I still respect the doctors opinion of course,but I`d rather opt for a ray that is 95 % as effective as surgery over the surgery itself which I may not pull through from according to that doctor.

So I`m waiting utill he has those breathing test results faxed to him and his consultation with the other 2 docs.

In my heart of hearts I believe ( not positive ) that I`m going with the ray chemo combination cuz I`d like to rise off the operating table like The Phoenix not be zipped into a bag and carried off the fucking table........fuck that noise !!

So that`s it in a nutshell gotta wait for the docs to consult.

Just wanna thank all of you guys as well as Josh ...........you guys have helped to instill confidence in me when I had none at all.

For some reason and this isn`t typical of me under stress I believe I will come out of this alive.

Then they still have to address the tumor in my throat so I have miles to go, but no matter the repercussions I ain`t going out easy and in my mind I intend to be here for quite a while longer whether it be on oxygen or a voice box it beats the alternative.

Life is precious and you never realize just how precious it is until you meet a monster like this and I`m no preacher but if any of you guys still fucking smoke..........QUIT TODAY RIGHT FUCKING NOW !!

Stay safe fellas and thanks again  for the constant encouragement it means a helluva lot to me believe it or not.

Hmm, very good point and you just change my entire perspective on Marty. I see him in an entirely different light and will no longer be perturbed by his posts. Now I want to just give him a noogie and an ice cream cone.

pellius I have given this grass clipping eating imbecile some heat but as stated he`s nuts has lost any credibilty... if he ever had any to begin with.

Ive been banning him from forums for almost 20 years because of his idiocy

I mean come on the guys eats broken glass sandwiches followed by a chaser of motor oil ! lol

Fuck him I got bigger fish to fry this idiot has to wake up and be himself everyday.........punishm ent enough if you ask me.

So really it's pretty positive, you have multiple options both with solid chances of success, and if you decide to go with the Ray and chemo and that doesn't work well to shrink the tumor there is still the surgical option.

I dunno when one doc says something and the other is saying something else, i'd be questioning which seemed more legit cause someone is wrong. You know how many shitty Drs there are out there.
