Glad to see that your not giving up.

I sent him an email a few days ago and still waiting for a response.

Hoping the best for you. Stay positive. My mother has been fighting cancer for almost 2 years and the doctor was wrong. The chemo is working and she's fighting even more. Attitude has alot to do with it. Cancer sux big time. Best of luck Dave ss/ea #1355

Best wishes through your upcoming ordeal Steve, keep fighting no matter what.

As some have said, I am not sure what to say? I can only pray for you and your Family going foward. I too would like you to fight as hard as possible and also spend every moment possible with your entire Family. Please know that although we do know know each other My Family and I will pray for You and Your's.

Thank the good lord for the 51 years you have had and maybe 51 more.

Good Luck and God Bless,

Hello all!

I have not been on the board or checking PM's or emails for nearly a month. I am truly grateful at the amount of support I saw this morning from everyone.

I had a pretty good couple weeks, with a minor set-back earlier this week. Bought the family a nice new loaded pop-up camper. (Slide out, inside shower and bathroom, the works). It came with a built in car stereo, so the first thing I did was throw it out, install a nice new head unit, subwoofer, new speakers and some power amps. The wife was NOT happy about that. And it has taken far longer to install it than it would have in the past. (I should have it finished today, just in time to blow all the fuses in the 12v system, probably).

Anyway, my plan was to spend some quality time camping with the family. They used to camp all the time, but I was "too busy" working, and they'd go by themselves. I'm really liking the idea of spending some quality time in the woods with my wife and kids.

Unfortunately, I keep running in random health issues that interfere with my camping plans, but darn it, I'm going camping one way or the other. Michigan is just beautiful this time of year.

I'll get an updated prognosis in about a week. FWIW, when I was first diagnosed the Docs were pretty adamant that I would not be around even now. I recall thinking that I wouldn't be able to see the Olympics (not that I usually watch it, but it became the principle of the thing.)

So tonight, I'll watch the opening ceremonies, HAH - take that, cancer.

My next goals are:
experience fall in Michigan one last time.
Be around to see who gets elected.
Be around to see if the Mayans were right.
Be around to see my Handicap license tag expire in January.

Thanks again for everyone's thoughts and prayers. I'll be following up on the emails and PM's I've received.

Thanks for the update! Keep up the good fight!

Steve all I can say is God bless you and I pray that you can beat this.. Makes my problems seem very minute compared to yours..

And how could I forget:

I plan on participating in the Flint "Back to the Bricks" thing in mid-august. Its an extension of the Woodward Cruise.

Look for my black 68 Charger with a red stripe.

And now that my Docs have 100% released me from low-fat diet restrictions, I'm thinking of having an Angelo's Coney Dog this weekend. Livin' Large!

Steve you are AWESOME just wanting to see fall one last time is a goal that most of us strive for
Keep fighting man There are some people like you that kick cancer's ass

Steve, thank you so much for checking in. We have never met or really interacted, but I think of you and your family often. That picture of your 68 is badass so it stands out for me.

I am glad to see that you are taking time with family and keeping a positive view. I really don't know how I would do it. Michigan is amazing this time of year (at least it was when I was there in June 2003) so enjoy my friend!
