Of course I have behaved Rouky! Just the thought of you keeps me on the straight and narrow. I have been doing a little GAL though. Hanging out with friends a little more and hitting the gym nearly every day. I am feeling very good physically these days. Stamina is not quite where I would like it to be but I am now very confident that it will come. Glad that you made it home safely and it brings me such joy to see your name here. I hope that you are always in my life but in happier circumstances!

Can't get rid of a froggy that easy :-)! I'm very pleased for you as you seem on the upbeat:-)! Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day, so it'll take time for you to go back to your initial body shape.
Rouky I am on the rebound thanks to you. I think that I would be dead without you. Your energy and prayers have healed me. Just feeling better and seeing you in a better place has lifted me out of the darkness and I feel for the first time in a while like I will be fine. Thanks for the encouragement on the workout. I feel however that I am going to be better in the end than I was before the cancer. I am working as hard as I know how and it is starting to pay off. I think that I will have some nice biceps and pectorals by the time we meet! Bonsoir Rouky!

Please don't give such power, I'm just walking along side you and trying to put a bit of garlic and snails to spice up your life :-)!
Your post is so positive and I can see the end of the tunnel for you! Hang in there :-)! Looking forward to see those pecs and biceps!!
Going to the State is always something I wanted to do, never had the chance or the money to do it, or maybe I wasn't really pushing for it as I hadn't really understood the meaning of life!! Need to hit 40 and be cheated on to discover it! Sooner than latter I guess.
Keep the good work and I'm looking forward to hear what you have been up to :-)
Bonjour Rouky! I am so happy to see you here! It always brings a smile to my face that cannot be erased. I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I think that I am finding my voice in all of this. I have been fortunate to have learned very early in life that happiness and success were all up to me. We are constantly told by television shows and politicians that there is someone else that can make us happy but for a couple of decades I have known the truth. I spent fifteen years trying to teach that to my wife but to no avail. I did have some success with a couple of people within her family though so I guess I can take solace in that.
I have had a fun weekend but not really an exciting one. I hung out in Cincinnati with my sister. Thank God that I have a family that will keep me out of the house!
I can't wait to get you here to The States Rouky! I live in a rural community but I can be somewhere amazing in a couple of hours. I know my way around Chicago fairly well and would love to take you there. Or maybe we would just cook something on the grill and talk for a few days!
Thank you again for lifting my spirits and I will go on over to your thread to see more of your wise words and check in on your weekend.

Hello to all my friends. I am asking you all to pray for me. My last scan came with a less than fantastic report. I have a spot on my lung and a spot on one of my ribs. I am waiting to see what the doctor wants to do about it and will probably be in for a biopsy at the minimum. There is a good chance that it is something other than cancer so I am trying to stay positive. The uncertainty is always the hardest thing about all of this both with my divorce and with the cancer. Whatever happens in both I am gearing up for the fight and feeling good physically so all I need is a little prayer from you all! God Bless you all and have a great day. Mark

Yes. The waiting is the hardest thing. No matter what, you are certainly strong enough to get through anything. My thoughts and greatest well wishes are with you. You are a good..no you are a wonderful, inspiring man.
Thank you for the hugs JujuB. Whatever happens I am going to fight to the end. I am thrilled to be feeling as good as I am and hopefully if I have to do more treatment I will not lose as much as I did last time. I will say that the phone call from my doctor has redirected my energies. Nothing puts things into perspective like the prospect of an early exit from this life. If I get that news I plan to go out having as much fun as is legally allowed! A trip to England will be a certainty! I am fortunate to have everyone here and to work with some amazing people and have wonderful friends. I only have to raise my eyes and I see someone trying to help me. I hope that I have been that person as well who always tried to help. And nothing is certain. It could be that there is no malignancy there. I am back living in cancer time though but I am aware of it now and prepared for the challenges. Keep me in your prayers and God Bless everyone!
