Another quick update.
 

Sorry it's been a while guys, but there hasn't been much to tell until now. I had another CT scan last week and got the results from the oncologist yesterday,and the news was not what was hoped for. Whilst most of the spots have stabilized, a couple of areas have grown slightly. The oncologist was disappointed because after so much chemo he expected them all to have shrunk significantly. He also noted that my Lymph glands are a little swollen, which is not good. I'm also still bleeding a little internally and as a result my blood count is down at 9.2 (should be 12 - 13). It's not critical but leaves me feeling run down all the time. I had another chemo treatment yesterday, whith six more to go, presumably with another scan after that to determine what path we take next.

Thanks for the update.

Maybe all those Aussie-released Joes used a toxic plastic or something! Whereas the ones that were released here for the US used a different plastic recipe. And we all know the Joes released in Colombia and Argentina have cocaine mixed in and...

I hope all those docs can find a way to fix you up.

I'm still hoping things work out for the best for you. I always enjoy your shots. :)

Forza Outrider!

So THIS is why eyerybody "Supprts Outrider." I just thought everybody here was a big fan of Dash Rendar's ship.

Well, good luck to you my friend, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Keep up the fight. Your positive attitude is an inspiration to me, I am sure to others as well.

Thanks for the update Craig, hope things get better. Both you and your shots are inspirational.

So, more 6 chemo and there will be good news!

You're always in my prayers bro.

Hang in there bro! We're all pullin for ya!

Slow improvement is still improvement. Tell the doctors not to be stingy with the chemo. Good luck onward.

We're all behind you brother.

It's never over till it's over and only you determine that! The way you have been fighting this I don't see you giving in any time soon! As long as you are fighting were fighting with you! Best of luck in the next round, were with you 100%!

Colombia is passion!
 

Still supporting you Craig.

As for your comment Sonneilon....

Keep it up Craig! You're fighting spirit is an inspiration to all of us. You will beat this!

I am still praying for you Craig. Peace be with you.

Thanks everyone. :)

Has anyone heard from Outrider? I haven't seen him post in a while. :(

Firstly he doesn't post on Joedios anymore.

Secondly he has recently had more unfortunate health problems and was in the hospital here is a message he posted:

Later on he also said this:

I'm sorry to hear that. I will keep him in my prayers . . .

Nice to know about him. God be good with him!

Frak me, I thought he was still having problems uploading stuff, hope he's gonna be ok :(

Outrider
 

I pray for the Outrider every day. Allthough I don't know him personally I feel like he is one of us.There is nothing I can say that can relate to what he is going through. It's not fair that a good person has to suffer with all the bastards running around out there. What I do know is that he is a fighter and a tough one and he has my respect for having to go through this hell. I know he'll make it. He has to. Anyhow Craig we all love you here at Joe Dios. Don't quit. Keep fighting and know that you will be in all of are hearts and prayers. Russ Spencer rds13601

wow I didn't know he'd gone back in . that sucks seriously . I hope the best for him and hope he pulls trough

That's a bummer. I wonder why he doesn't post here anymore.

Craig, haven't been on in a bit keep up the good fight bro and I continue to keep you in my prayers.

I am very sorry to hear that man. My best wishes go towards you.

CF

Keep fighting and we will keep praying for you Craig.

Mainly due to his problem with getting on the site, he started a thread about it and all.

Keep fighting the good fight man...

Guys, this will be my last update for a while, things have moved along quickly. Tests have finally identified the problem and I'm booked for emergency surgery a.s.a.p. (probably tomorrow). Without the surgery I only have two weeks to live. There is no guarantee that the surgery will succeed, and even if it does it will only fix the immediate problem, not the cancer itself. Even with a successful outcome tomorrow I only have a limited time left at best because the cancer is beyond chemo or radiation therapy now, it's just too aggressive. Hopefully Deanne will be able to update on my behalf after the surgery.
