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.

We made it through the night and woke up surrounded by people. Wife on one side and my dad and son on the other.
From experience I'll tell you that boy will carry trauma for life. It's so hard to lose a parent when you're a child, especially having them basically pass in front of you.
I didn't really know you too well but you were a funny guy who kept positive until the end. You are an inspiration on how to handle tough situations. God bless your family and keep them safe and ease their pain. [Reply]
RIP to one of the toughest and mentally strong people I know. He handled this damn disease like a heavyweight boxing champ. He came out swinging and never showed a sign of weakness, only gratitude. You was a legend and one of the most respected members of Chiefsplanet. [Reply]

Tough post. Damn, it’s dusty in here. I’m currently having issues and they are running tests. I hope it’s not this. I doubt I could go out as cool as haywire. [Reply]

I had a mass removed from my neck a month ago. Turned out to be cancerous. Will be thinking of Haywire and his strength and attitude as I start radiation. I don’t feel sorry for myself but it’s been non stop worrying about my wife and 5 month old son. [Reply]
