One of OUR OWN is fighting the GOOD FIGHT and Is Having A ROUGH TIME...

Hang in there, friend. I have known two people who have battled cancer and have remained cancer free for at least ten years. It seems to me that a positive attitude and a very strong belief in a higher power kept them going. The road to recovery is not easy, to be sure, but it can be done.

It is very clear that you have many friends who care for you here at ATS. This is a testament of how many good thoughts, prayers, and love surround you. Never forget this. neo

I have not been here long but william always has a bright side too everything. Get your rest and eat well and stay strong during the courses. You have helped build a great place at ats and the members are with you.

Keep up the fight.

WILLIAM,

keep up the right attitude and spirit. Many who have gone through waht you have would have been much more poorly already.

We know it wont last or it wont win, see this as a type of detox of sorts, when you get the all clear WHICH YOU WILL in the near future, I know you will feel better for getting all that stuff out of your system.

You will be having a laugh on christmass day and hopefully downing some beers in quick succession in the new year!

COME ON WILLIAM YOUVE ONLY GOT TILL 2012 ANYHOW, TOO SOON TO GO BEFORE THEN! you cant miss the biggest show of all time mate? now can you? nope you cant we need your advice on it!

Peace, love and walk in love and light always William.

Elf (sending his little army of elves and little people to watch over you as you recover)

I see a lot of wishes for his well-being, but no indicator of how he's fared in the last 3 months. Have they made progress? Is the cancer regressing? What happened?

And, just in case WOS is reading this thread, I just want you to know that I'm rooting for you, and hope for the best outcome possible. I may be right there with you depending on my test results tomorrow. Good luck, man. Good luck.

Thank you all very much. I had done an update in my blog a week or two ago. Unfortunately, I have had another recurrence, this time it has been confirmed by my doctors at Sloan Kettering. So the plan is to give me more chemo indefinitely. They said that radiation is out of the question, I have had too much already over the last couple of years, and surgery is a no go as well, because they said if they were to cut any more out of me it would leave a hole! Springer has already offered to donate an ass cheek to me if I need it, but then what will he do? He will have to get a new one from like a cadaver or something!

In all seriousness, I was a bit stunned when I saw this thread being revived yesterday, as it has been periodically over time, it really means alot to me. I realize that I should say something except for two facts. One is I just had my chemo on Monday, so I am feeling pretty poorly. Although I will toss this in, I seem to be having a much better go this round than I usually do, and I really appreciate the break.

The second thing is I did not want to make a big announcement that the friggin cancer is back, again. I really don't like to bring people down. And I am aware, that many people have to deal with this issue, either themselves or loved ones, and .... I guess it makes me feel guilty. I am so blessed and fortunate to have such an outpouring of care, love and concern.

So anyhow, thats about right up to date with me. Elf, I plan to be partying like it is 2013 in 2012! Right here with you guys and gals. And TheLibra, I really hope your test results come back negative.

I just want to add one more thing. I haven't been posting too much on the regular boards because the chemotherapy really does make me apathetic. Its something I am trying to cope with. I am more active in the admin section, because I do spend quite a bit of time here and I love helping to manage the site. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask themn from someone who has been walking down "that" road. (me )

WOS, so sorry to hear you have to endure the chemo again. I have an idea how rough things like that can be, I had to have CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery (radiation) for a benign cranial nerve tumor, it was only 3 days of treatment but it took a bit out of me, radiation is a very powerful thing, I'm sure chemo is even harder. I have read a bit about new gene therapies and such that are proving to be very succesful, perhaps there are trials out there to look into as well.....I wish you the best and know you will recover soon....

sorry to hear the bad news about everything thats happened to you it is true that the nicest and most caring people often have to suffer the most painful hardships. when ever i write a single thought of mine on ats that thought shall have been preceded by one of you i wish and pray for your well being during the continued chemo and get well soon and as i am never likely to meet you in person i'll talk to you face to face when nothing else matters get well soon william and i think i speak for every single member of the community when i say get well soon

Springer offering up an ass cheek? I hear he has enough to go around...

On a serious note, best of luck again. Don't feel guilty, a burden shared is much lighter than if you go solo. We can't take the physical burden, but we can help with love and support. Which is what I offer now.

Will

Thoughts and prayers always WOS.

You are, always have been, and always will be an inspiration to all of us here, and all who will ever be a part of this community.

Besides, we all love you, with or without Springer's ass cheek!

Cant get rid of us heheh,

Always with you WOS


Just remember to lean on us when you need to,

WOS. we have spoken about all of what i am about to say but i am going to repeat it for you.
