Oh well...

Jun 09, 2009 20 Replies

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.

Well this should make you feel better, my hip is just fine now

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.

That's good. I don't wish you any harm.

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?

Hi Robert. Can I ring you man?

So sorry to hear this s*it.

Kind regards.

Micky.

That's pretty twisted if you ask me. Quit feeding the troll!!

KINGFISH YOU ARE SICK MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.....

I'm gonna talk to "the Man upstairs" about that very subject tonight! :-)

Sure thing. I'm usually around M-F

Yeah, me too.

Heh, heh, heh...

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.
