Been having health issues for a while now.
Just got the news yesterday from my last test.
I officially got fucking cancer in my gut.
Edit:
Sorry all,
Had a couple of days that weren't the best.
It was a swift reminder that I still have things to take care of.
My wife still needs to learn passwords, bills, etc. That got me thinking about what my "footprint" will look like when I'm gone.
I'm actually an intensely private person and I thought I've shared a tad much on here. At the same time I've got to talk to a lot of great people here and it does lift my spirits some when I see the positive posts from everyone.
Got rid of most of the pics etc.....the more I thought about it the more I felt selfish. CP has been my go to for 10+ years now and it didn't feel right to throw the C word out there and then just ignore it like it didn't happen.

Lost even more weight still can't eat.
It's been a place I found to rest and say stupid shit.
This has been a great community and I hope it continues for years. I'll try to pop in if possible but don't hold your breath.
It's been a ride my friends.
Thank to all the kind words spoken along the way
Hopefully more time but I wanted to say goodbye guy while I can
Thank 'CP
Michael
Wherever you go, your memory will live on CP forever. Thank you for sharing your story with us all. Thank you for facing this shit as bravely as you did. It's an inspiration, and a lesson i'll take with me if i ever have to endure what you did. [Reply]

These terrible situations are always a struggle to respond to because whatever words one can come up with seem wholly inadequate to the moment (I never really could find them for Joe earlier this year and that haunts me) And then you feel like an ass because you’re lamenting a struggle with words while someone is physically, emotionally and mentally suffering and in the throes of leaving their loved ones to face this world with out them.
It’s been a pleasure “knowing” you. Thank you for the example you’ve set in facing this tragedy. Thank you for the many genuine laughs starting with the CP Royal Court and the “feud” with Bearcat that came out of that with the Christmas time pink bunny picture and sign, and everything else that happened thereafter, up to and including allowing me to parody your testicles.
I pray you go with and in peace, and that God grants your family peace and comfort in your absence. And I promise to give Gaycat hell for you from time to time in your memory. [Reply]

Your courage is admirable. Ride on, Michael. [Reply]
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [Reply]
