I haven't said much in this thread, but I've thought about your condition a lot lately, and it was fantastic to read this most recent post. I look forward to many more Outrider photos in the years to come! __________________ is on indefinite hiatus...

I have a heart problem too, again not life threatening but it did require me to be cut in half when i was about 6 months old I'm hopeful that with this surgery out of the way and your preparations for further treatment you will be able to hit the full road to recovery. All the best to you and deanne for the future, keep us updated on your progress please Rich __________________ My Sites Eternity Toys Superiorville Toy blog Urban Saboteur Stories Social Sites & Communities Facebook Flickr Tweet Me

I never doubt the ability of God to perform miracles (especially when so many are asking him for one) but it never gets old seeing it happen. This is great news and i'm sure things will only get better from here. It's really good to have you back here. __________________

Just got home from the hospital today, and though I still feel like I've been hit by a truck, I just wanted to let everyone know the news, and it's mostly good. The main tumor is completely gone now and for the first time the doctors are talking about full recovery. There are however still a few very small cancerous spots remining around the area where the main tumour was, as well as the spots on the liver, so some further treatment (non surgical) will be in line when I recover from the surgery. They also discovered I have a minor heart problem which I have to see a cardiologist about, but it's not life threatening or anything.
I gotta say it was a close run thing again though - by the time I got to the hospital, I needed 9 units of blood just to keep me alive until they could operate.

Whilst I'm still not feeling up to taking pics just yet, I'm going to spend some time over the next few days catching up with everyone else's great work.
And finally, thanks to everyone for your unwavering support, it really lifted my spirits during those long days and nights in hospital. You guys are the best!

WOW!!! GREAT NEWS!!! I'm so glad to hear that the prognosis is good and that you have turned a corner!!! I will pray for a speedy recovery!!!

Take care of yourself, and come back strong so you can make the rest of us look silly. Again __________________ On a quest to collect and customize the 1985 Joes in Modern Era form.
