Hello Everyone

I came home from my first radiation tx and was going to post but I had a new E-mail from a friend I met on this Forum.

Below is what he wrote, followed by my reply. I figured why write it twice.

I liked the picture you have on your OCF profile. LOL

Good one

Hey Mike

Ya, it's a hoot!

I was just getting ready to post. (I'll write it now and copy/edit/paste/post)

When I first came to this sight and read the horrors of the treatment I had chose death. I was looking at "quality of life" as I read these horrible treatments and their after affects. (They almost Kill You To Cure You) Plus my financial ruin. The people here made me want to fight the Beast.

Then I could not get help. In the 60+ days I waited my tumor grew and my lymph node swelled from a bump to bigger than a golf ball.

I had to go on TV to get help. Someone did that for me, as after 50 days I sat my family down and told them I was dying and FLA. won
