[QUOTE="megamania, post: 5323949, member: 9255"] okay..... feel good story ( a true one no less) from my past...... September 1997 I was weak and tired much of the time. Debveloped a bit of a cough. Figured I was over tired and had a start of a cold. October 1997 Cough got worse.... much worse October 27, 1997 Had a constant cough and never could get a decent breath. Had several people think I had whooping cough. Decided to see the doctor that day. They thought I had eoither a virus, a super virus, or something called Hodgekins Disease. Went home and looked up what that was. Cancer. Following Monday I got the answer. I had cancer.... lymphonma (sp). November 2nd, 1997 Had a test done that involved pumping radiative particles into my blood. These particles stick to soft tissue (eyes, reproductive organs and...cancer cells). I was told to stay away from my then two year old daughter since I was ... radioactive. I immediatly pushed the wife away and told the doctor we were trying to have a child all summer with little success. He signed for her blood work and within the hour learned she was 10 days pregnant. YAAAAHHHH-HOOOOOO!!!!! oh.... wait.... I'm dieing and I can't be near my loved ones for the week AAAAARRRRGH!!!!!! Winter 1997-1998 I handle the kemo well. Doctors amazed my sence of self as I tell them things like what the chemo syrup is by taste (I could literally taste it within my system) and where in my body it was as I could feel the 90 degree fluid course thru my 98 degree body. Learn we are a symbol of good hope by others since I have cancer and a child occuring at the same time. To top things off, I remain working 36+ hours a week on third shift no less. Spring 1998 Learn the kemo is not enough. Even after an extra round of chemo I now have to do radiation. Mack Molding (my employer) pays for me to get four free tattoos. July 8, 1998 9am My last radiation treatment about 11am Timothy Clifton Farrell is born August 1998 Officailly told I am free of cancer but that I am diabetic (booooo) Spring 2000 Officially considered "cured" of cancer Every July I think about the whole affair and how it turned out. In the end.... neat story to tell battle scars to show off free tattoos a baby (not so anymore) boy not too shabby of a good feeling story [/QUOTE]
