Kevin! I am sorry to hear the bad news!!! Pm me if you ever want to talk... I have had 2 family members fight for there lives with cancer! I understand!!!!! I'll keep you in my prayers!!!I had fun riding the Dragon with you! And look forward to doing it again with you leading the way!!!!!:thumbsup:
 
Kevin my brother, you and your are in our thoughts and prayers. Don't give up. You mean too much to too many, and are an inspiration to us all.
 
Thanks all for the kind words and most importantly.......prayers. Yesterday, I kinda did feel defeated. I look at all the chemo that has been dumped into my body and yet a new cancerous area has started growing. It just seems like for every step forward, I am taking one back.

I look at the toll this is taking on my wife and seeing her in mental pain and with a broken heart is HARD for me to fathom. I can only imagine what she is going through.

This journey has been filled with ups and downs. Yesterday we received news that I now have cancer in my colon again. But we did get some good news.....my lung mets are shrinking and my liver is still stable. So you may ask what this means?

I will know more sometime next week. From what I understand I will be facing another colon resection. My Onc is going to touch base with the Directory of GI/Oncology at Chapel-Hill. This Doc just left the Mayo Clinic to start in North Carolina. I will have to wait approx 8 weeks for the chemo to be out of my body.

I am also going to push to have my liver partially resected to remove one of the tumors and RFA on the remaining 4. Once successful, we will just be dealing with lung mets.

I will more than likely have this surgery in Chapel-Hill, about 4 hrs from home.

As soon as I talk to the doc, I will let you all know what the plan is.....
 
Thank you for the update Kevin. You and your family will always be in our thoughts and prayers. Please keep your head up.
 
I'm praying for you Kevin. We're all here for you, and God is with you.
 
Thanks for letting us know what is going on, Kev. We are here for you as much as you need us. Stay strong and we'll stay strong with you!
 
Kevin, hang in there buddy, keep on fighting like you have been doing so well. We are behind you and with you brother.
 
Hey, Kev...thanks for the update.

I have read every one of the posts leading to this point and to everyone who as replied...serious kudos to you.

Kevin: You are going to win. It's tough to imagine how, but you will.

Looking forward to your future posts/updates. I'm standing by.
 
Glad to hear from you Vman. We will keep praying for you, you keep fighting. My Uncle Mark, who was like a father to me, fought his cancer for 17 years! He didn't go till he was ready to. Even though the doctors told him otherwise many times. You kind of strike me as someone similar to him. So keep up the good fight, and don't let them tell you how it is.
