Coming back later this week

Hey everyone! Brian here! Sorry I've been away so long. Well, I had my surgery October 24 and the tumor was removed successfully. Of course, my right thigh now looks like it's been through a sausage grinder lol. I got home November 5 and have started undergoing physical therapy. I'll probably never run again lol. But my spirits are still good and I'm getting used to using a cane, but all in all, things are going well. I'm going to start being more active on the site later this coming week (even though Thanksgiving is coming up on Thursday lol). I've missed you all and I am sincerely grateful for all the well wishes during my fight against cancer. Like MacArthur said when he left the Philippines in 1942 - "I shall return!" :)

Your friend,

Brian :)

Congratulations on the safe removal. My daughter also had a cancerous tumor in her arm (synovial cell sarcoma). Sheโ€™s almost five years out now and doing great. Iโ€™ll pray for you! In the meantime, keep on kicking cancers butt!!!
