In case some of you were wondering......

Finally I get a chance to post again after a several month hiatus!! Some of you may have wondering why I havent been posting. Its a long story but I will keep it brief.

I was medivac'd to the combat hospital in Baghdad back in late September. There they told me "oh by the way, you are full of cancer, we give you about six months to live. I fooled the bastards, it's past six months now...555555!!!!

They were going to ship me back to the states, but I made them send me to Thailand so I could hook up with my fiance and tell her all this face to face

The real downside to this is that I used to be a Patong regular with a house, and shopping for a business for my semi-retirement. Then the cancer comes along and my Oncologist will not let me come back This is what I think of my Oncologist

I don't want to be a downer so I will keep this brief. I have been on the message board for several hours tonite checking up on everyone's lives....looks like most everyone is doing great!!

To my friends here on the board, feel free to drop me a line.....later dudes.

Holy shit....

I was actually wondering why you hadnt posted, since there has been a security contractor thread running for a while now.

Like LiL says, Carde Diem and best of luck to you.
It's a tough fight, keep the spirit.

Misterfun sorry to hear about your situation. If you want I can provide you with a couple of forums specifically for people who have cancer and also for different types of cancer if you want.
I'm sure you don't need me to tell you but sometimes its good to talk to people who are in your situation as they can relate to how you are feeling and also keep you up to date with any new treatments.

Anyway just a thought. All the best
