Missing the airline business

I have not posted much lately.   After having my left knee replaced Jul 17, and getting back on track I continued to have to  much pain in my lower back.  After 3-4 Doctors visits 2 visits to the Emergency room I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon/Liver Cancer on Sept 12.  After 5 Chemo treatments I had a CAT scan and Dr reported that my golf ball sized tumor had shrunk over 25%.  I had to turn in my ID to go on medical leave and that was the hardest thing I have done in years.  Guys if you have not been checked for cancer please do so IMMEDIATELY.  I had a kidney stone in Nov 2012 and the CAT scan only showed the stone.  So in less than 9 months I had a turmor grown to the size of a gold ball.  The Chemo treatments are tuff. I have lost 60 lbs and I try to stay positive.  My Coworkers at SWA have been great with prayers and visits.   Please keep me in your prayers I would like to be Cancer FREE in the future and be able to return to work, even if it is to push WHEELCHAIRS.  God bless to everyone and have a great holiday.

God be with you.  They are doing some amazing things with chemo these days.  The treatments are brutal, but effective.  I just had a friend here in the DFW area declared cancer-free after an initial diagnosis of Stage 4 Lymphoma!  He was traveling down to M.D. Anderson Cancer Institute and Hospital in Houston for his treatments.  If that is an option for you, I highly recommend it.
