Not the birthday present I wanted.

[Paul B]

I got the results of a biospy on Nov 6th (my 73 rd birthday) and learned that a tumor that had been found in my chest is malignant. It is non-operable because even with all the scans and pictures they cannot tell what it is attached to. It is of a type normally found in lung cancer, but it is not in the lung. It may be attached to a lymph node or artery, but in any case it does not respond well to surgery. I will start chemotherapy on Nov 18th, along with radiation treatment.

So, although not what I would like to have, it is what it is, and life such as it may be, goes on. I could sit and feel sorry for myself or I can accept it and move on. I choose the latter. At the present time, I basically don't have any restrictions on what I can do, as long as I don't over do it or tire myself out. If I feel like doing it I can, if I don't feel like it, I don't do it.
I may not be on here as much as I have been, so you guys play nice, and press on.

Prayers are with you Paul,
Just a note .. I found awhile back researching cures the .. the big "C" can be approached naturally.
With simple with a house hold ingredient .

In my reacearch I found they can cure cancer , but the hospitals make their money in treatment , rather than cure.

This man swears he had stage 4 of prostrate cancer .& 6 month outlook.. he changed his PH in his body , and now cancer free.

Paul, I realized as I was driving through Louisville today (been to Bardstown to buy a cubbie) that I was driving right past your house. So I stopped and visited with Bonnie since you weren't home. it was an unplanned action, and I just wanted to check on you.

I had a nice visit with Bonnie, and am sorry I missed you. Next time I guess! I was amazed I found your house again. I think it might of been divine intervention!

[Paul B]

Sorry I wasn't home when you came by, I was out getting infused with my cancer juice and "glow in the dark" radiation. She told me you remembered to park your Ferd in the street rather than my driveway, even if it had a Cub Cadet in the bed . Shortbed Rick is the only Ferd allowed in the drive and that is because it still amazes me to see how much Cub Cadet stuff he can stuff in it.

[bbaker]

Oh no no... I don't have a ferd.. I have a real truck!

Actually what I said was I didn't park in the drive cause your truck wasn't there, but I think I would of been allowed because one it was a Chevrolet truck, and two it had a Cub Cadet in the bed..

I think everyone knows not to park a Ford in your drive, or try and put a Green tractor in the bed of your truck!

That pic of Vince on the ramps on a greenie and your facial expression... priceless!

[vince_o]

BB It was a bad joke to play on Paul, I sure am glad he didnt have a gun on him that day! You guys would have burried me right there! LMAO!Good thing he can take a JOKE!

[vince_o]

I think he was mad at me all weekend, for the deere and for the QL!
