Title: Great news from the VA Today!
Post by: Willy on March 22, 2008, 07:15:38 PM
Just got home with some good news! Well not 100% good news but all 6 tests came back OK and health wise I am fine. Cancer wise it can be corrected with surgery. So in a few weeks they said we will just remove the legion completely cutting out a quarter size chunk of me. No biopsey just remove it all and it should stop it. Now they said should but I will take that as all better! This gives me a few weeks to bust butt on the cabin and get a lot down before cutting time. Stiches heal pretty quick on me. I know after 38 years of construction I have had my fair shair of them. So I am happy I can keep working for a while! Mark

Copngrats Mark. I know that is a load off your mind.  In a way it affects your total outlook on several different things not only your health.  Let us know the when and the outcome.

Just not having Chemo or Radiation Treatment is a load off me! I can deal with cutting a chunk out much easier. I am real glad it is not stopping me from working on the cabin cause I need to do something to get my mind off it. Mark

A small surgery beats chemo any day from what I've seen.

I'm happy for you Mark.
