Oh well...

I had a new scan and saw my oncologist yesterday. Unfortunately, it looks like the "all clear" signal was wrong. The cancer came back with a vengeance. The prognosis is pretty grim.

I have to start chemo again in a few weeks but first I'm going back to Brazil one last time. According to the doctor I should make it to next spring, possibly even a year, if I do the chemo. Without it he says I might not see Christmas.

Regards, Robert

I get this pit in the bottom of my stomach every time I go for one of my scans. and wonder . I know this had to be devastating news for you Bob I hope you make it much longer. So far so good for me still having trouble getting my illiostomy reversed but so far I have put my weight back on and I am in remission for now wish the same was for you.

The funny thing is I never seem to feel that way. But this time I was a bit nervous and sure enough...

It did kind of knock me down. After I had that good test a while back I began to think for the first time in three years that there really was hope.

Thanks. It doesn't look too promising right now though.

I'm glad to hear you're winning. I was pretty worried for a while that you wouldn't make it.

RHC: Bob, I just checked in to see what's going on (I don't frequent the newsgroup much anymore), and heard the dreadful news. I honestly don't know what to say....this is terrible and the worst news I have heard for a long time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope that you can pull off another recovery again. Anything else I can say is just banal window dressing !!

Take care my friend...we'll pray for you.

Thanks, Bob. If you make it down to Florida again, I hope you have time to visit Sarasota. If that's as far away as next spring, I probably won't still be riding but who knows?

Now that's the wrong attitude, Robert. Of course you'll still be riding. It'll just look a little strange. Your Moped and Bob's big Goldwing. :-)

RHC: Ahh....er....his Suzuki is a couple of hundred cc's and 50 horsepower on the plus side of my 1500 cc Kawasaki Cruiser....:))

Still, I hope to ride with him again next spring.....

Actually, I'm considering selling the "other" bike, a 2008 Honda Shadow 750 and buying a used GSXR. A lot of my friends race at a track near Jax and I thought I'd like to learn.

I don't recall what the HP rating is but it's got 1850 ccs and it's pretty fast.

That would be really nice.
