Thanks everyone for all the support and prayers throughout this whole thing. It made all the difference in the world. Hopefully this will be the last time I ever have to go through something like this. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers and never forget the support you gave me, through all my tough times. Thank You

Holy shit i missed a lot, where do i start? Gaddis u scared the hell outta me bro, stop that, but very glad to see your "ok" if thats what you wanna call it. Syndicate, your in my prayers i wish the best for you. Sorry its been a while since i been on, thanks Juggs for keeping them informed. As you all know life has been kinda crazy for me lately and I have decided beating cancer and workin a full time job wasnt enough so I enrolled back in Baker College to get my Bachelors degree in business with a speciaty in HVAC/R so it will only take 2 more years. Medicaid is gone again these asshats working in my local DHS office just get bored and fuck with me i guess. Talked to them yesterday and they said i have insurance but its called medicad spend down and its medicaid with a deductible, mine is just over $1,000 a month yes there are 4 0's there. Its all because social security says im disabled and they want to give me $600 a month so as long as they are trying to give me that money medicaid says im grossing 2 grand a month ( i wish) all will be resolved in time i just have to jump though some hoops first. More of a hassle than a would like right now but what can u do. Lastly a special thank you to Pete Durr i appreciate it bro.

I just saw this, my prayers will be with him.
I just passed my 11 year date for my stem cell transplant, I had stage 4b T-Cell lymphoma, also in my bone marrow, the doctors also suspected I had stage one ALL, but could never prove it, I just initially responded to typical ALL treatment. This is the same type of cancer Andy Whitfield had (Sparticus).
aside from giving birth (not possible) and an enema you name it I've had it done. Had to relearn to walk, almost had my left leg amputated completely due to blood clots and tumor cutting off blood flow exiting my leg, bled out two units of blood out of my nose and almost drowned in it, almost died so many times I can't remember them all, shingles, pnuemonia right after I had chemo almost got me. High dose chemo, rads, list goes on.
I was told go home, we probably won't see you back here so many times. Given a 2-10% chance. All I can say is that when I was sick, I knew I was in God's hands and none of it mattered. Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God." Be still in this from the Hebrew means to surrender and be humble before God, his name in this means the Creator of the Universe. Similar to I keep my eyes to the hills, let God be God.
If you ever need anything let me know, sounds like you have an amazing support system there with you, and that is huge.
My hat goes off to you. Congrats on beating that. Thank you everyone as usuall for your support, it always makes things easier when you know there is someone(s) out there that want you to win and i wouuld say i have more than my fair share of supporters. Chemo just started, it is 7:53 pm and i will be done in approximately 16 hours, then back again in two weeks for 5 days. Yup, thats life

So just saw my doctor yesterday, they normally have to give me a shot that increases my white count and makes my bones hurt like hell. Well i just wanted to say thank you for all the prayers they are being answered, i havent had that shot at all after my last treatment and last night just started my next 5 day one. My immune system white count hasnt dropped at all. Its actually at near perfect levels right now acoording to my doc! They were questioning me about taking any other supplement that havent been approved by them and i told them no, just prayer, determination to kick this things ass, and a good support group. So again everyone here. Thanks for bein here, thank you for the prayers, and thanks for the support. For those of you in the michigan area, we really need to go to The Pit

Thanks a lot everyone, yea i realize i need the medicade especially right now and i been payin for it in my taxes fir a few years now so im telling myself theyre just refunding a little bit of it. Hours are picking up at work too as the days are getting hotter. My 22 nd birthday is in the end of this month and im thinking about getting a tattoo on my bald dome while i can, just wondering if anyone had any comments/ ideas on that
-
Ok, im kinda lost. What is a tax stamp? And why do you get it. Is it certain states only?
-
Thanks everyone for your support. I always check the saiga board when im feeling down just to remind myself of the support that i have. I also want to send a special Thank You to Steven Whitaker. Not sure who you are on here so pm me if you want to.

Bout to be done with my 3rd session... Man i feel like shit.
-
Just found this today, glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. I gotta hand it to these kids, I know first hand it's not easy what theyre going through and they are probably in a much worse situation than me, and to see them keep fighting like this just gives me a huge boost of confidence. FUCK CANCER!

Thanks everyone for the condolences, finally getting around to posting some picks of me. Sorry it took so long.

Edit: They're up

Well its finally the last day of this treatment, I get unhooked tonight at 11ish, then I get to spend the next 3 days trying to flush the chemo out of my body as fast as possible. Only 5 more rounds to go. Gramps passed away at about 7 pm last night.

I have come to the conclusion that working WITH chemo is not gonna happen. Too hard to carry the damn bag around everywhere I go and your work ethic is less than adequate when you feel like someone just threw a boot party on your ass. Taking the whole week off and gonna try to resume next week.
Also Thanks to Drew and Lorie for everything that they have done for me to make this ride through hell the best ride through hell you could ask for. The scenery sucks, it's hot as balls, but at least the musics not bad. Does that make sense? They are more family to me than the one I was born to and every bit of that is true.
On a much more unfortuanate note, just recieved word that my Grandfather is in ICU, he is yellow, and his organs are shutting down rapidly, they are giving him only hours left to live. Apperently he had an infection in his Kidney and the medication they gave him to make him well started attacking his body. The bad news is that we were never close, the good news is that he is not suffering. The docs put him into an induced coma long enough for the family to say their goodbyes and then they are gonna pull the plug.

Again, thanks all for the prayers, it really helps
Yea, your right Gaddis, I would hate to be a doctor that has to cut on nutsacks all day, what a hoorible thought. Oh yeah, and 3 of the 5 chemo drugs theyre giving me also say that they can cause a second-different cancer years down the road not sure right now which ones they are but Im getting: Vinchristine, Decadron, Mesna, Ifosfamide, and Etoposide. Not sure yet what theyre gonna gimme during radiation
