Hey friends,

I have a tumor in my throat, basically connected to my vocal cords. The cool thing is that I got to see the "reveal" of this thing live, the sad thing is that I got to see my doctor say in real time "well, that isn't supposed to be there, hmm.."

Suffice it to say that as an American, I'm very fortunate to have a job at a company with excellent health insurance. I couldn't imagine this type of
thing at any other place :/

I'll keep the group apprised of the prognosis. As of now, I need to schedule emergency surgery (different from ER) in the next month or two to deal with this. In fact I expect it'll free me up for more BBS time.

Hey friends,

Take it easy, and get yourself in as good a shape as you can before you go in, and good luck. No surgery is fun.

Wow... heck, well I'm sorry to learn of this Ryan. On the upside you sound
like you're in a good place/space to get the treatment you will need. And yep more time for BBSing :) On the 'this is a pain in the rear' side of things
it's a troubling thing and something that can give a bloke a rumbly tummy
with a few sleepless nights etc.

So know this, you're supported here. I care (and I know a bunch of others do also) about how you're getting on and where you're head and body is at. Although we can't all be in your part of the globe we're here to support you and talk geek as much as you care to engage in it :)

Go gently good sir... and if you end up with a voice like a ballsy boss radio jock I may just hit you :)

Have the same hope for you as well.

12 years ago had a golf ball sized tumor removed from the back of my head.
Was worried that it might be something serious...but they said was just a growth which almost wouldn't fit in the specimen jar. Friend & I went out to party that night over the great news.

Please keep us informed on your condition.

The cool

that I got to see my doctor say in real time "well, that isn't

Suffice it to say that as an American, I'm very fortunate to have a

Get well. My stepfather is battling cancer tumors in his brain and lounge and hopefully he will pull through. Never smoked a cigarette in his life, hardle ever anything stronger than wine to drink.

Sorry to hear that news but glad you were able to find this out sooner rather than later. Good work benefits really come in handy in times like this. You should be able to use FMLA depending on how your company allocates that type of
time.

The main thing is to get better because good health is #1. Without it, the rest doesn't matter.

Best wishes and keep in touch!

I deeply hate cancer and would really like to see a cure in my lifetime. It effects so many people and in so many different ways/forms. When I think about
it, makes me wish I had gone into scientific research to help figure this out.

That really sucks; I'm very sorry to hear it.

If it helps at all, Sonny Barger (of the Hells Angels) had advanced
throat cancer in the 1980s, had it removed in a VA hospital, and is
still kicking, so it's beatable!

A man goes into a pet shop and tells the owner
that he wants to buy a pet that can do everything.

The shop owner suggests a faithful dog.

The man replies, "Come on, a dog?"

The owner says, "How about a cat?"

The man replies, "No way! A cat certainly can't do
everything. I want a pet that can do everything!"

The shop owner thinks for a minute, then says,
"I've got it! A centipede!"

The man says, "A centipede? I can't imagine a
centipede doing everything, but okay. I'll try a
centipede."

He gets the centipede home and says to the
centipede, "Clean the kitchen."

Thirty minutes later, he walks into the kitchen
and. it's immaculate! All the dishes and
silverware have been washed, dried, and put away
the counter-tops cleaned the appliances sparkling
the floor waxed. He's absolutely amazed.

He says to the centipede, "Go clean the living
room."

Twenty minutes later, he walks into the living
room. The carpet has been vacuumed the furniture
cleaned and dusted the pillows on the sofa
plumped, plants watered. The man thinks to
himself, "This is the most amazing thing I've ever
seen. This really is a pet that can do
everything!"

Next he says to the centipede, "Run down to the
corner and get me a newspaper." The centipede
walks out the door.

Ten minutes later. no centipede.
Twenty minutes later. no centipede.
Thirty minutes later. no centipede.
By this point the man is wondering what's going
on. The centipede should have been back in a
couple of minutes.
Forty five minutes later. still no centipede!
He can't imagine what could have happened.
Did the centipede run away?
Did it get run over by a car?
Where is that centipede?

So he goes to the front door, opens it.and there's
the centipede sitting right outside.

The man says, "Hey! I sent you down to the corner
store 45 minutes ago to get me a newspaper. What's
the matter?!"

The centipede says, "I'm goin'! I'm goin'! I'm
just puttin' on my shoes!"

You are exactly right...but as I learned from a former stand up comedian not every joke is going to be a prize winner...but someone will enjoy it. In my current employment...those dad jokes don't get me into trouble & get some laughs/groans. It's a reaction & it makes me keep trying.
