so I'm lying in a hospital bed....

Feel better BMC, stay strong

Thanks buzz. This is a tough ride. You never know how you are going to react to circumstances until you start living the nightmare. I eventually stopped waking up in the middle of the night saying "I have cancer."
There has been so much silver lining everywhere I turned. as much as it's been a scary, physically challenging year, it has been such a personally rewarding year, in terms of appreciating life, my wife, my daughters, family and friends. All of that makes me better and gives me strength.
 
Best wishes for a good recovery. It's a tough experience, so keep in mind that attitude plays a significant role. I spent the better part of six months in a cancer ward in 1972, and my wife went through breast cancer treatment about eight years ago. Based on what I've seen, I truly believe that maintaining a positive attitude helps. During your treatments, when you see opportunities to have a little fun, seize them with a vengence.

Also, nice version of the National Anthem. I'm a bit partial to the following -- my band playing before a SF Giants game a few years ago. The vibra-slap was a nice addition.

Hang in there. I know it's hard now, but it will become easier with each passing day. I wish you the best. I've been there. I'm 2 + years cancer free and loving every minute of it, which I know you will be too. If you want to talk when your up to it PM me.

P. S. I would have written sooner but I was on a temp ban. (Bummer)
 
What a beautiful version. Stay strong America. We love you.


Thanks guy. We don't feel much love from the rest of the world these days. I have admit, it's kind of nice to hear.

I hope things work out for you as well. Stay positive, it really does make a huge difference. I'm about 10 years post cancer Tx so, I know the deal.

And yeah, morphine is good stuff.
