(posted by Mrs Outrider on behalf of Craig) - Hey to all my good friends at Joedios! Well guys, I came through the surgery okay, but unfortunately I have cancer. They removed one tumour, but the other was too large to touch, so they had to leave it in. Once I recover from this surgery, they will try chemotherapy and radiation therapy to shrink the second tumour down to an operable size, then get it out. So it's going to be a long road (about 9 months or so) before I'm back on my feet and all is fixed. Thanks to everyone for your kind words & prayers. The Outrider is down but not out, and in the words of Arnie "I'll be back!!!".
Craig should be home in the next day or two, and can't wait to get back here!!

Craig,

I'm on your side bro. Just let us know if we can do more then pray. I'm here to help in all the ways I can and so does our friends from JD I'm sure.

I'm sad with the news, I was not expecting something like that, but I'm happy 'cuz this thing can't win us. We all here have a bond and for sure this should count. I'm aware of how a good person you are and do know that God have more to give then to take. So this next 9 months will run fast and good news wait us at the end.

Come back on your feet my brother!!!

Guys, Thank you to everyone here for your kind thoughts and especially your prayers. They have allowed me home from hospital for the day, but I have to go back in tonight for some procedures tomorrow morning, but will hopefully be discharged for the time being tomorrow. The first thing I will do is comment on the great pics I've missed whilst I've been ill!

Craig,

I'm sorry about all that's happening. I hope you can get this thing into remission or whatever is possible. My thoughts go out to you. Let us know what happens in the next few days. I hope you two can have a decent X-Mas!

*we should all send Craig a plethora of 25A Joes to him!*
