I have Neuro endocrine carcinoid cancer. Its been in my arteries to my colon. Its in my liver now. Surgery again to get more out. Never have been sick. Get regular scans and it gets caught early. 530am tomorrow. Been home all weekend "cleaning out." Be back in a week.............I hope...........6-8 weeks total recovery time. Fortunately I have 8 weeks paid leave at work so all is good. Have not been riding much due to this, lack of energy for some time. Missing the spring rides in the Sierras and fishing for bass.
Here I go again
- Thread starter MikeinFresno
- Start date
Sorry to hear that Mike, as the lads said before, get well soon and get back on that bike
Wow, hopefully all will go as you said. Get well quickly and get back on them bass and bikes.
Made it back guys thx.
Got home Sun nite, 7 days in hosp. Surgery was supposed to be 6 hrs, took 10. Took the old tumor out and I didnt bleed this time. Then went to work on the liver. Split me from sternum to just above weiner, 50+ staples removed yesterday. Still have 3-4 spots to get off the front of the liver in just a couple more weeks. They now do it with a small hole and large needle. Go thru it and burn the tumor out with a microwave an a wand. I feel ok considering. Still not sick. But this time is much worse then the first time. Im older, they did more, etc. Surgeon said i will be more prone to a hernias now that the same spot has been cut twice. No riding for a few months.

How you doing Mike? Couldn't agree more Andy, I hate the heat
and we don't even get hot here in Old Scotia
Anything north of 25 dc and I'm heading for air con anywhere or 60 with the window down
Im just about healed up now. Going to Stanford on 7-5 for a special scan to light up whatever is left so they can go get it. Then back to work light duty on 7-6. Hope to be back to full duty (deputy sheriff) by the end of July. Ive been walking, getting out to visit and shop. Been fishing a couple of times and getting stronger. No bike riding til Thanksgiving this year, have to make sure it is all healed up before crashing or trying to pick it up on the side of a hill.
Obvs I'm no "Merican" but isn't that what thanks given is all about
