I'm very sorry to hear the news about your cancer. I lost a friend who was a fellow Oakland Raiders fan to brain cancer a few years ago.My sister has a medical marijuana card for her glaucoma and I prefer smoking a bowl of the chronic over drinking alcohol. It's the lobbyists for the pharmaceutical companies who give congressmen and senators kickbacks to keep marijuana illegal while they push prescription drugs that are far more dangerous than the hippie lettuce. As someone who has suffered from depression and was prescribed Paxil,I can honestly say that the Paxil made me suicidal and that I was better off smoking marijuana.

iw ill be fine , someone always has it worse. I know there are many people out there worse off. No food no shelter nothing. so i am cool just wanna try to relocate to the great west like colorado or northern cali. where it is epic and the ultimate. i am trying to move first of the year. trying to nail down a job. Think i might have one east bay san fran like wlanut creek ? but never know til i get there. never figured with 20 years experience it would be so hard to get a job. but all in time.

True that. Ive been in the radiation room and infusion room w/ my own cancer. NOT dire, just pesky BUT can always travel as yours did so the scare is always there. Im lucky and have a great family base and a 6 and 1 yr old boys that keep a smile on my face. GODSPEED brother, its a sh1ty fraternity we are in   Thoughts/Prayers are with you

Sorry to hear this! Just want to say my friend's dad was given 1 year to live,back in 2003ish,he did my brakes this past Sunday ! He's not that guy that's going to sit there and pitty party himself!  He does smoke herb,I dont think that's truly the only (or main) reason why he's still here,but I do think it has helped him! It's a shame that people are not properly medicated,because of some old fashioned way of thinking! The studies were done year's ago,and they have proven time and time again that the + benifit's of ganja out weigh the  -'s! I got a petty weed charge several year's ago,and was forced to stop smoking ,so I went to a doc,to see about getting my anxiety level, and depression under control. Well long story short ,she prescribed me enough Xanex,and Kalodapin to zombify an elephant (3 pills twice a day)! I had no motivation,sat around depressed for 9 months not wanting to work ,and gained 30 pound's! I gave up the med's with all the ingredient's that I cant pronounce,and went back to self medicating, yes it's illegal,but I'm not misserable,that's important to me and my fam! Stay possitive,and stop saying 6 to 8 months out loud,no body know's that #!!

Ran across this post. So sorry to hear it !!!

Don't give up !! Keep on fighting !!

God bless

God bless you brother, I will pray for you. I just been down that road and so far I'm OK....or so I have been told that.  I know what your sayin when you talk of the memory loss......it hits me daily. I had chemo and 8  weeks of my head being cooked by radaition..not good at all   Keep your positive outlook and enjoy the time you have........live and love like there is no tomorrow!!
I know I beat my first round and pray I dont have another but I also know none of us is promised tomorrow...... I will pray that god touches you and heals you.

Again God bless you!

Ryan i have. it is the only way i made through life. much less through first round of cancer. I just always thought i could settle down have time to cruise around in a fast jet boat , crank on my two strokes and cruise on my titans. maybe meet a cool woman and have a family. But when it is your time to go can not change it.
I really feel if i can get out of here, move to a different place. get my med card for some medical marijuana. i think it could really help me and definitely lower my stress. it has been documented and proven this is a high area of cancer, and harsh place to live.the ohio river valley is bad for allergies and alot more. rated as one of the most depressive places.
So i am trying to pin down a job in northern cali, close to some nice lakes, nature and laid back. so i have been appyling like crazy online. and hoping i get a offer and relocate then.

God speed........God speed.

Sorry to hear man. prayers go out to you. My wife just went through 3 months of radiation, and surgery for cervical cancer. It can hit anyone at anytime..........

Keep your head up brother!

no need to ever apologize...your in a fight for your life...we are standing behind you here..just you being able to talk about shows mad strength...DO EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO-BUT FIGHT MAN...GET BETTER!!
