I have the results from my doctor. . . . yay

One of my favorite films is, "The Shootist".

It starred John Wayne as a retired gunslinger who finds out he has "The cancer" and is dying.

For 2 months, (including a 2 week delay due to isolation due to Covid) I was suspected of having, "The cancer."

(It's that one scene that went through my mind where Jimmy Stewart says to John Wayne, "John, you have the cancer."

Last week they removed some tumors. Some below the skin, some above. I was covered in bandages and showering has been a bitch!

Just got the results today after blood tests, biopsies and the such.

No cancer.

So yay.

I briefly mentioned it once in another post and another member was kind enough to ask, but I decided that I didn't want to share this "at large" with the ATS community.

If I was dying, then that was a trip I was taking all by myself.

But it looks like I'm good, which is real bad new for some because you'll have to put up with my crap for just a while longer.



So I'm sharing the good news.

You're the type of guy that doesn't get cancer you give others cancer...


But seriously...yay! Good news...finally

a reply to: DBCowboy

Great news! I just took a shot of whiskey in celebration!

a reply to: DBCowboy

Oh SNAP DB!

Very happy to hear you’re cancer free!

Damn bro, that must have been nerve racking for the last couple weeks.

Some one needs a 🍺 and a shot on me! 🍻

a reply to: DBCowboy

Great news! You must be relieved!

a reply to: DBCowboy

YAY!!!
Good for you

a reply to: DBCowboy

You and your crap can be enjoyable to be around!..


As weird as that sounds, although I'm looking forward to "putting up with it" for a while longer. 🍺

a reply to: DBCowboy

My wife read this thread and said, "You god-damned drama queen, you aren't going anywhere old man."



(but she's somewhat happy. I did see her cry as she put away the life insurance papers)


(I'm going to get into so much trouble when she reads this)

a reply to: DBCowboy

Excellent news. Yaayy indeed.



Just wanted to add that I hope your sense of humour remains slightly sick.

a reply to: DBCowboy

I'm glad to hear it!

a reply to: DBCowboy

DBCowboy - This is fantastic news. And, I would hope if you were dying that you would share your last days with us and allow us to know. That type of journey should never be endured alone, no matter how brave one walks towards it. I would miss you so much, even if I've never say "boo" to you personally before. So happy for you!

a reply to: DBCowboy

I'm glad you don't have 'the cancer'.

I recently lost my eldest son to it.

I would miss your humour and counterpoint, too.

Be well.

a reply to: DBCowboy

Life insurance papers???

Double check your car brakes and get someone taste your food before eat it.

a reply to: DBCowboy

Great news! Glad to hear that you're ok..
