5 days in ICU. Wow, does sound not so good but so so glad you updated us. Cancer is where? ‘bet’. Now can’t wait till your interesting ONC visit conversation.

Rest as best you can tonight tomorrow my friend...

Based on his previous posts, I think he meant "belt".

I'm back home. Friends who are nurses are each watching me in 6 hour shifts. Pain is around waist. First chemo round survived -- but it was challenging. I am told to get my affairs in order "but no hurry."

Lots of pain, shakiness, imbalance. My "logic" has returned.

Sorry to hear Brutha. You’ll always get good honest advise here. Not sure what “bet” is tho? And even tho it can be a little dark at times, i do kinda miss your poetry Cisco. How about a new one for the gang?

I have no idea what to write. "Take care" seems so vapid, "Best wishes" so ambivalent, and "Good luck" just downright stupid. Try this: May the probabilities be with you, Cisco.

For future reference, I like -- "Courage, friend." "Be strong man." "Think about good things." "Stay curious" also works a bit -- it's better in person. You embrace, maybe shed a tear. Maybe "We're counting on you." Stuff like that.

Not criticizing, just -- I've been through this before. Important thing is that I don't scare or discourage YOU.

Courage friend!

Here's what I have come up with. Since I was diagnosed, I have entertained the idea of suicide, to "outsmart" the cancer. Not from despair, but from a kind of practical convenience. Save money, etc.

But I'm working on an approach to seeing it through.

My daughter took her life, because she was in such mental pain. I don't ordinarily correct her, but I'm the dad. Maybe I'll see it through because I'm an adult. Life should be lived through to the extent possible. Seems like it would be good karma.

I can’t imagine how that felt to lose her like that. I have a friend who dad came home one day and blew his head off in the family home. It hurts those left behind. Ride this MF for all it’s worth . I’m glad that you’re home and not in the hospital... Scott
