[Megaterio Llamas]

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear this Rats.

Keep up the fight friend.

Holy hell, what has happened to us?

25 years (give or take).

[JelloPuddingPop]

Sorry to hear Ratman - that is a tough hand to be dealt.

Take care of yourself, along with yours - its hard on everyone involved.

I'm not sure where the PSA test fits in though, as I indicated above.

My family doctor checks the PSA box every time on my yearly routine testing. Never been charged for it.

There I’ve said it I feel better letting you all know..

I hope you achieve the best results possible.

Well, I’m adding to the list.

Last October I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I went the chemo route over the winter which sucked in a very big way. I had numerous trips to the ER with the various things that happen when the immune systems gets poisoned, I won’t go into the details but will if asked.

I’ve metastasized lesions that went to lymph nodes an adrenal gland and then finally to my brain.

We have radiation treatments on the brain lesions and being very small and no new ones have shown up. I am on immunotherapy from April on and it seems to be working and keeping things stable. So considering where I was this is a great outcome so far.

My case is not curable so it’s time we are fighting for…

There I’ve said it I feel better letting you all know..

Luv rats19

Fuck ratski. I'm so sorry brother. I just read this. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I've been poked and prodded lke a lab rat for six weeks. From the original diagnosis of early onset Parkinsons, then perhaps Type 2, I'm getting terrified of more tests. 55 seens too young for this shit.

I can't get a hold of my best friend. He's on a cruise through Jamaica, Dominican etc.

There I’ve said it I feel better letting you all know..

Heya Rats.. just read this..

Damn dude.. sorry to hear it. Let me know if I can do anything..

[Tciso]

I know we don't share much about our personal lives, but I am in financial services, and I have done a lot of work in retirement planning, and estates and wills.

If anyone in the group has any questions about how to arrange shit for your family and help to reduce death taxes, feel free to message me. Getting old sucks but we all have people we want to take care of. If I don't have the answer, I know people who do.

Take care, and Go Canucks Go.
