Bad news
SimplyRed started a thread about me not long ago. I thought I'd start one with the latest. I got very bad news today. My colon cancer got into my liver and the doc said it is stage 4. She said it can't be cured. Without treatment, I might last 10 weeks. Even with chemo, the best I could hope for is maybe 3 years. I'm scheduled to have a port put in tomorrow, Tuesday, at 1 pm. They start me on 3 types of chemo on Thursday.

I just had my first one at 55 and they snipped off like 7 polyps. Due back in 3 years. This probably saved my life at some point. |

Ed, tell us more about yourself, if you're comfortable doing so.
I'd love to learn more about you and your life!

I have stood on mountainsides and gazed over lush valleys and rivers. I have breathed deep of clean mountain air and drank water so pure I could feel it doing good things inside of me. I have eaten peaches so good that I was in awe. I have savored beers so finely crafted that I gave thanks for being alive. I have seen sunsets and sunrises with so many levels of color that I couldn't even describe. I've felt the soothing cool air come off the North Sea and gazed across the waves. I have felt joy savoring what was for me the perfect spring day, listening to the sounds of happy birds singing. I have savored the autumn and marvelled at the changing colors of the leaves in the trees. I have enjoyed warming up by a fireplace after a walk on a winter day. I have stood in fields bathed in the light of a full moon on a summer night. I have stood in awe before medieval castles and felt great joy exploring and learning about them. I have stood in a graveyard in the Danish village of Vrensted and read the names of my great-great-grandparents and great-grandparents and felt the connection of my family down in my very bones. I have seen and done many things in this life that I feel blessed to have been able to do. I was hoping I'd be doing it for many more years, though. |

And, though you mention loneliness, which we all suffer sometimes, you should know that you are valued here. I know you don't post very much, but its nice when you do. For the folks to get to know you better, and glean insight from your life experiences, would you be comfortable if we started an "Ask Lonewolf Ed Anything Thread?" Again, you are valued and cared about.
