Man.....DAM CANCER!! Y'all got me kinda upset...I have yet to lose anyone close to cancer, but being as that my whole family is Smokers I'm sure sooner or later it's going to surprise me somewhere. I am certainly a man of faith though, so my prayers and thoughts go out to all of you & your familys.

Sometimes you wonder what your life wouldve been like if that particular person was there. Lost my Dads dad to pancreatic cancer. 6months after the diagnoses he also left us. Right now our old parts guy was diagnosed with lung cancer (smoker) and they fixed that but it also spread to his brain. Hes in hospice care right now. We saw him last week and he pretty much didnt know who we were or anything. Hes been workin for us since 93 and he quit in 2011. Pretty much like an uncle to us. Just so sad to see someone who used to be so sharp and smart go down hill so fast. Hurts even more when they dont know or recognize you. I think it would be cool to have like a get together or somethin for a cause like this.
Actually Corey is trying to get an annual Drag day going in support of this. He posted here about it. He is still working on it, but could use all the support he can get.

heres an update from my mom, i copied and pasted it from facebook since its kind of a lot of info.

Had a review of a CT scan this morning. The good news is that the cancer has NOT spread to other parts of my body. The bad news is that the tumor did not shrink after 3 chemo infusions as hoped. At this point the cancer is contained as the tumor itself. It did change shape and is no longer "inflamed" or causing irritation to other organs. Good for me as I haven't had any pain or major discomfort from carrying this thing around. In this case, the chemo did help as the tumor stopped growing/spreading. As of now, surgery will hopefully be scheduled in the next couple of weeks. They had hoped the tumor would shrink enough for easier removal, but at this point they will have to do the best they can with removing it at its present ~11.90 cm size. It's original size was ~12.97 cm. It did shrink a tiny bit but they still consider it pretty large. Will keep you posed as to how the surgery will go and results afterwards. Three more chemo infusions will continue after the surgery to finish the 6-phase infusion process. Good news or bad news depends on how you look at it, I guess.

Yeah, its the worst. They scheduled surgery for the may 7 and she has an appointment this coming thursday for an overview of what exactly theyre going to do. the most important thing is that the cancer hasnt spread and the tumor is self contained so if surgery goes smooth, after the last 3 chemo infusions it SHOULD be smooth sailing.

o my gosh... i have been insanely busy lately and haven't been on my computer in forever. I just found this. You guys are awesome. I am not gonna lie. i found this and i got a little teary eyed. I recently just spent the entire day Friday in the cemetery hanging with my family and my sister alone. Did a lot of soul searching. I have had a rogh couple of weeks around the house hold. Friday sarah would have been 17 years young. And the weekend before that would have been the prom she went to last year that she would have been to this year. I never got to see her in her prom dress because i had to work that weekend. and at that point in time we thought she had a lot more time then she actually did. I missed many things like this that i will forever kick myself for. I am still working on doing a huge get together but this legal stuff is never ending. and finances to pay for lawyers and accountants is taxing heavily. So it will take time. i am now looking at next summer or spring for a huge event. That way all my ducks are in order and i to will have my truck ready. I am possibly going through a career change in the process also so i am busy to say the least. I appreciate all the support this cause gets. My heart goes out to all who have to suffer through this stuff... I am not a religious man but i have seen first hand some out of this world happenings. and again as always anyone ever needs help or is in the illinois area getting treatments for anything hit me up. i would love to come up and meet you and your family. I am going to post some pics of relation to this topic. we took them friday on sarahs bday.
