    Life Sucks and then you die!

    Dammit!

    Achilles went lame on his back leg and I just got diagnosed with throat cancer!

    We are more worried about the dog than myself at this point. He goes to the Vet on Thursday and I have surgery next Friday.
    You know, the roller coaster is much more fun than the Ferris Wheel!

    I guess that is what makes life interesting.

    I had to make out a Will today, just in case, so my wife would be protected. How depressing!
    I was a good boy: the house and cars are all paid for, life insurance, and accidentl death, etc.

    The dog will more than likely cost more than me!

    Hoping and praying for the best,

    Jim

    Sorry to hear that, especially to good SBR people. I've been hearing fantastic stories about stem cell therapy for dogs and humans.

    I haven't been at this site long but I've been following your posts, Achilles. Not sure if you're a Christian or not, and if not, I'm not trying to solicit your soul with this post but this is one of my favorite verses and I'd like to pass it your way:

    For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give hope and a future.

    Jeremiah 29:11

    We greatly appreciate your heartfelt support! It is greatly appreciated.

    Achilles had his appointment and they are going to try Rimadyl for a week and see how it goes. He is only 6.5 yrs old, but is 5'10" 130 lbs. -- not fat at all, just huge. Even with a muzzle on, the Vet and Assistants were scared to death of him.

    I got stage II tonsil cancer and polyps on my larnyx. Thank god nothing is in the lymph nodes. He is going to remove the tonsil and laser off the polyp. Recovery for a 50yr old is gonna be pretty tough, my wife may want to have me put down, LOL.

    Stage II tonsil cancer has 58% 5yr survival rate. Guess I'll take being a slight favorite on a future prop bet.
    The leading cause for this type of cancer, just guessed it, smoking and drinking.

    Please stop smoking! You don't think it will happen to you, but it does.

    If I am on here posting some weird sh*t next week or so, it's from the pain meds.

    Salute!

    Have faith, believe in yourself and find peace wherever and however you can. Lot to be said for the love and strength of man and beast.

    You, Achilles and your family are gonna be fine.

    My thoughts are with you.

    Aspirin and vitamin D3 are supposedly cancer preventers according to the ABC TV doctor.
    I take a 325mg and 5000 IU of D3 along with a multi vitamin.

    I've quit smoking using the Nicoderm CQ step down patch with the help of St Johns wart (herb).

    Thanks for getting back to us Jim, we were getting worried.
