    Nothing
    can remove your concerns and fears over this news. Nothing we can say that will make you feel better, although I know people have survived the 2nd and sometimes 3rd fight with this dreaded disease. So just know you are in our prayers.

    2 AND 3 TIME WARRIORS
    Yes, I am banking on the good feedback from my fellow warriors who have had to go for more than one tour of duty.
    I am strong, and more than willing to start and endure the worst of the worst treatments that are available. I have too much good in my life to give up on.

    Thanks for your king and most usefull of thoughts.

    Treatable vs cureable
    Doctors do not know everything. I was diag.with B.O.T and lung cancer 2011.They told my wife that maybe six mo. left.I weighed 115 lbs @ 5/9 and was in the hosp. for a week.Had 8 chemo.treatments and 36 rads to face and 36 rads to lungs.Passed my 2nd P.E.P scan and scoped twice---said they could not find any cancer!!! Only God knows when

    We'll be thinking about you, Mike.

    Hi Mike
    I know it is hard but don’t give in just yet, I know I don’t say much in words, but that is because I am always praying and you on the top of the list my friend.

    Tim

    NICE TO SEE YOU BACK MY FRIEND
    Hondo, I am so glad I have you on my prayer team. I know if anyone here has God's ear, it is you. I returned to the catholic church for the first time in 6 years for 5 O'clock Mass yesterday. Ironically the last time I was in my church, I was a Pallbearer in the funeral of my next door neighbor who was taken from me at age 41.

    I cried my eyes out because it took me this much grief and sickness to lean on God.

    If I ever needed your prayers, it is now.

    Thanks

    Mike

    Hang in there
    Thinking about you and the fight you have ahead of you. I've seen a lot of "treatable only" folks live a long long time - my mom is one.

    first
    first, get the thought of going coffin shopping out of your mind

    i will never forget my doc saying to me on jan. 24 1996, "there are two options, first option is you will survive, second option you will not survive, i believe you will survive" that was a long time ago, two weddings for my daughters, 3 grand children.

    Mike, i know you can do this with the help from so many directions. Start with the man above.

    Good Attitude
    Mike,

    Like many others I am at a loss for words. You've been here awhile so to see your post is alarming to say the least.

    Your attitude is so great and also a little bit of humor left in ya. Like everyone else you are in my prayers and thoughts for a full come back.

    Cancer come back
    Sorry to hear the bad news. I am sending prayers your way. I read an article on Cesium and Aloe Vera. This man started treating patients with Cesium and aloe vera juice. He supposedly cured 30 out of 30 people. The Cesium supposedly kills the cancer cells. Anyway, you might want to google it. I do not know if it is true but he has a web site and has been sued by the Medical community even though he can list people who got better. Do not give up. Hopefully your doctors will come up with something.

    Bleep
    Hate to hear this news, but glad you are sharing with us. Like many, I assumed you had a better chance than the average survivor to avoid recurrance, because you're in better physical shape than most. From time to time, I let myself forget that life's not fair. Glad to hear there are chemo options available - hoping they can keep it subdued until docs have a chance to come up with a new battle plan.

    Just bought a card for a co-worker with recurrance (lymphoma) that says "some days it's harder than others to hang in there". Keep putting forth the extra effort, Mike.

    SURGERY
    I was told no surgery as I have cancer in my lymph nodes in my mediastynum. Cancer could be everywhere??

    I will still be pushing for surgery if it is possible.

    Surgery?
    On the one hand, I would keep pushing for surgery. On the other hand, I would not want to be operated on by someone who does not think the operation will help. On the third hand, I have a Swiss Army Knife, but no anesthesia. No skill either. No common sense either.

    Hey Mike
    So sorry you have to go through the second round of this crap. You can do this, just put your head down and go for it. Don't ever give up. You are a fighter and things change all the time in this war, new options, better treatments, etc.
    Just try to keep positive and talk to others with multiple occurances, Hondo is one for sure. He was given a very bad diagnosis as I remember, and he's still here helping others.
    Keep up the fight Mike, don't ever give up.
