    You know, we always look

    You know, we always look forward to your posts, they often make us laugh right out loud, but this one kind of stunned us. We'll be praying that the good doctors can remove that nasty tumor with the cyberknife. Now, go out and get that big buck on Saturday!!! Love and Hugs, Cynthia

    Dear Kerry,

    Sorry to hear that the news you got was not good. These folks have given you lots of good food for thought to talk with your doc about.

    Get you a hunting buddy, just for company, and bring back a big one. One way to be sure of having good aim is to picture that cancer thru the sight and blast it.

    You know we all love ya and are rooting for best things possible for you.

    and as a wise man has said on here many times...Attitude Attitude Attitude!

    Hugs,

    Marie who loves kitties

    Thank you all for the encouragement and love
    Thank you all for the encouragement and love. You all were a big help to me today.

    Update – scary old woman says I have to keep the log splitter and damn well use it.

    Also, I have now learned that brain cancer trumps chemo brain for getting out of trouble or getting anything you want. The fight is on. I be in the kick **** mode.

    Kerry

    Hell yeah you have to keep
    Hell yeah you have to keep the splitter.
    Yer my hero and I'd really appreciate you stickin' around.

    NO!
    Oh, no! This is NOT news we want to hear. Tell the scary old woman to give you a huge hug for me.

    Praying for a wonderful answer to this latest ugliness!

    We ain't having none of that.........
    You know me, between you, me, Phil, Craig, and Eric (God rest his soul) and more I haven't mentioned when this comes to past there are a few of us that don't take no for an answer. Seems like the scary young woman ( did you catch that suckup remark) has the same idea that we do....You get rid of the log splitter and the other log splitter goes too....Nope, ain't gonna happen. You ain't gettin out that easy. You kick my **** and I'll kick yours. I had this last tumor in the lung come up I thought oooooo sheeiitt this is it.....Nope, its gone, and we start all over. Same with the tumor in the ole noggin..Kerry, we had a kid here that got shot by one of his friends in a hunting accident, in the head, it didn't look good at all for him, now, hes a bright young man back in school...So Mr Kerry, Supremo Hunter of Deer, I suggest that you get busy with the task at hand, but just prior to that, you have a deer to harvest, and wood to cut....

    BTW, is your chain saw sharp and ready ? and is your wood down already and easily accessible ?

    Just because its a brain tumor....does that mean that because its in a hard shell that its any harder to get to than any other tumor....No, it doesn't.....and the removal of it will allow the space to be reoccupied with more of whats suppose to be there (which in our case is bullchit) ..So, its simply a matter of removal...thats it.

    My brother in law has a scar all along his frontal hairline ...He had a brain tumor that was causing him to not remember what he was trying to do at times...They removed it and he is fine now...It was in the frontal lobe and he is absolutely fine now...

    OK, kill the deer..post some pics of it..and then lets work on the head, and the wood....Love ya bud, Buzz

    I be taking my new log splitter back
    Thanks Lisa darlin,

    That’s good info. I need to wait to see what my STL doc says about this. Had the scan down here in the country hospital. I went to the brain cancer board. Bummer.

    Once I get info, I can make the call on what to do. I do know - You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, know when to run. At this point I think I be taking my new log splitter back.

    Kerry

    Oh no, keep the log splitter
    Kerry,
    You are going to need that new log splitter to cut firewood for years to come! Please get after this one like the others and getter done. Like so many here and your sweet princess, we're counting on you.

    Oh the man that makes me laugh!! Between you and Buzz, my world is a most humorous one.
    Go kill that buck, 10 pointer at least, eh???
    Gosh, I love your scary old woman!!!! She's right, you keep that log splitter, you have a lot of use for it still left in you my friend!!!
    I wept when I read this, but then I ended up smiling, knowing you'll get your venison, and with the new technology, you'll beat this newest upstart of cancer.
    Cancer sucks big time for sure!!
    And when you told your wife that the meds should keep you from getting nutty? What exactly did she reply?? LOL.
    Love ya Kerry,

    Kerry I am so sad to hear of
    Kerry I am so sad to hear of this new news. I think you should just keep the log splitter and give lesson to young men and women on how to use it. While you do that you could teach them how you keep laughing and loving and never allow giving up! We all need you Kerry! You keep fighting, please!! Jean

    I don't agree with hunting, but darn it you are so sweet and funny that I think you should get the biggest deer you can find. I'm so sorry about the cancer spreading to your brain, I hope they can remove it. You and your lovely wife :0) are in my thoughts and prayers.

    ok first, please don't post
    ok first, please don't post any pictures of dead deers.

    Sorry you are having to go through this Kerry. At this stage, there is absolutely no point in taking back the wood chipper thing. (sorry, I am a city girl, not really sure what that is?) No matter what, there are still days to enjoy and times to live. So look to that deer, the crisp fall air, stomping through the woods. The next day will then be plenty time to worry :)

    Sorry to hear that Kerry
    I hope it's something they can work with. As far as the deer goes, do what someone by me did. Hit one with your car then cut it's head off and leave the body on the side of the road for everyone to enjoy!
    Some moron actually did that. It had to have been a buck or they would not have beheaded it. When I stopped at the local police station, the cop actually told me that since it was on such and such road that it was "not in our jurisdiction".
    If it was a severed donut they would have been there.

    Hang in there, be nice to your little lady....

    Keep Fighting the good fight!
    Kerry,

    The one thing I have learned from this whole experience is to not give up. Everytime we get horrible news and think we are done for some new procedure or medicine comes along that gives us alittle more hope.

    KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT

    Wishing you the best of luck

    Brain scan
    I bet they found that the part of the brain that creates humor was larger than usual too! You always have such an incredible sense of humor no matter what you are going through.

    I'm so sorry to hear about the tumor. I hope that nanoknife or cyberknife or something will be a good option for you to get that sucker out!

    Get yourself a trophy tomorrow and make yourself some jerky!
