Blue water pro, truer words were never spoken. I've been battling cancer for close to four years now. It comes and goes. Went thru 8 weeks intense radiation. Now I'm told it has continued to increase but it is several years away from getting serious at the rate it is growing. But not a day goes by that I don't know it's there and think about it. I can only count the things I have been able to do with my life that most will never see or even attempt. So I feel lucky.

When I had surgery they gave me morphine in recovery. That stuff damn near killed me but it felt so good I didn't care. So my instructions are, if things get bad, give me morphine, lots of it! My doctor is very pragmatic and open with me.

We are lucky to have good insurance but I will never opt to hang on if things get bad. That is just plain selfish!

When I had the surgery the Doc told me if it had not been discovered I would not have made it 6 months. So I consider it all a bonus now.
