Well Mr Hound and I have had a horrble shock this week. I just found out that I have a very quick growing cancer in my left lung that was spotted on an x-ray while I was seeing my doctor for another problem (which turned out to be pancreatitis) They also have discovered that it has metastasized (sp?) and there is also a tumor on my liver as well.
I've smoked cigerettes for 30 years before I was able to quit with the help of Chantix one year ago so lung cancer has always been in the back of my mind. I'm also a recovering alcoholic who has not had a drink in 15 years but I'm VERY sure I put my liver through a lot of hell when I was younger.
We know very little at this point......it has all happened extremely suddenly and we are still in shock at the news ourselves.
I begin chemo on Monday. Apparently 70-80% respond well to chemo for my type of cancer for awhile but the bottm line is that we are merely buying whatever time we can at this point. We don't know how much time but may have a better idea after the first round of chemotherapy.
My log and presence here on cdot will undergo some changes as Mr Hound and I try to work out the news and redirect our focus and energies to the task ahead.
This is NOT a goodbye by any means. It's much more of a "head's up" but please PLEASE respect our need and right to privacy at this very difficult time for us. I will share information as I know it but do NOT want to hear or read about horror stories or how much worse everyone else has gone through or a bunch or platitudes etc etc ......Thanks, but we've heard them all already and I've NEVER played that bs well anyway.
Thanks everyone.

Positive vibes going out for you, Weedhound.

i like your grow rooms. you have nice plants...lol
sorry if that sounded funny:rastasmoke:
oh. and i wish you luck. as much good luck as i can wish. i dont wanna give you any grief, just a little hope. my grandma fought, and when it looked grim, she came back. they cut out 80% of her stomach, but she came back. and she lost that weight she was always trying to lose! she just turned 80 and still works as a piano teacher, about 10-14 hours a day, 7 days a week, to this day. im fucking serious. this can kill you, or make you strong again. do what you gotta do. medical science is advancing every day, i hope your ok. ever since ive logged on to this site, ive looked up to you guys/girls. have a good one.:rastasmoke:
So sorry to hear the news. I'll be praying for you.
Whatever you do, don't let people tell you that you have so long for this or that to happen. Doctors have been telling my mother in law that she only has months to live for about 40 years now. She's on chemo and it's not fun. She had to go to a different kind of chemo recently that seems to do better, but she shaved her head because it made her hair fall out. She keeps hangin in there, so it's not impossible to prove doctors or anyone else wrong.
You and the mister will be in my thoughts and prayers even more than normal. Please let me know if I can help in any way.
You are in our thoughts weedy....

Thanks you guys....it's been a rough road but is finally starting to calm down a bit.
Joe and Opie....more more more!! We'd love to hear from people who given grim prognosees (sp?) but have blasted those numbers out of the water!! It's food for our souls!! :)
On the plus side.....try taking our grow away NOW!!! :D

It is devestating news to hear about anyone and I am really really sad to read this man. I know from close hand how afraid this must make you feel and I really really hope things go as well as possible for you and yours.
Hang in there and when you feel you need it I hope and believe you have ppl close tou you that will support you and push you forward. You are in mine and I am sure all other peoples mind here.
Truly the best of luck mate. Fight.
