Rolling into the last week of June....

Hi everyone, Brian here! Sorry I haven't been posting lately but I've been sorta busy. Well, I got all the tests done this past Thursday and I see the orthopedic oncologist this coming Tuesday (June 26) to find out exactly what kind of cancer I have. Then it's on to the radiation oncologist July 2 to possibly start radiation and chemotherapy. I'm in really good spirits and I know I'll beat this! I'm thinking of all of you and I hope everyone is doing well. I promise to check in more often and to be more engaged in the community again. :) Take care and I hope everyone is doing super! :-D

Your friend,

Brian :)

Hey buddy!.... I was actually thinking of you the other day and wondering how you were getting along..... well..... I admire your strength and courage as you are a terrific example of both....I only wish I could be half as strong as you are.... I'm glad you’re getting answers so that you can work on the solutions... my sister beat very tough odds with this monster, and I am sending you every bit of good karma your way I possibly can...cause your right, it's a fight...but you can win...I know it. hang in there man.

Will do Artist! Sometimes, you need to hang on for dear life and ride the storm until it blows itself out. Things could always be worse. I bet you're twice as strong as me! You never really know until you face adversity. I'm thinking of you too :)

Yes!! Brian is the man. He gets the dance party started! We are with you. The ups and downs are a part of this ride. Ain’t gonna be easy or fun but worth the fight. You’ve lifted me so many times when I’ve been low, low down. There’s no way I’d ever leave you in the dust at a time like this. Our thoughts and prayers surround you always!!

in reply tobridder01

Yes please help on here. It has been so negative lately I don’t even bother to come on as much. Just one sad post after another. No one offering anything positive.

Thanks Marshall! Not really a religious kind of guy, I have faith everything will sort itself out in the end. After all, without hope, is life really worth living?

Nuts to the dark side! I choose hope! :)
