bobmc Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hey all, Having a time of it, In March, I found myself in a Costa rican hospital unable to swallow, could'nt eat or drink, got back to the states and was in the hospital for the next 15 days. The tumor in my chest has been wreaking some havoc. It's closed off the esphoughages (sp) and theres a hole ( fistula) sp? that allows fluid to enter my only good lung. I'm presently hooked to a machine to get the nourshment I need, It Really sucks, I could use a good Texas steak. The plan is to reduce the tumor with chemo, and insert a sleeve so I can eat again. Be a few more weeks. The whole thing has had me pretty depressed and I really do thank you all for the cards and letters and Fay for the chickens. God bless and be well Bobmc left pneumonectomy 5/2/01, brain mets, 12/18/03, WBR, 2/04 chemo- 5/1 for mediastinum tumor " absolutely insist on enjoying life today" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie B Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hey Brother Bob, Your a SIGHT for SORE EYES or any eyes for that matter! HIP HIP HOORAY, Our BOB MC is BACK TO STAY! WOW, YOU HAVE BEEN MISSED! Do you FEEL THE LOVE?? Let me tell you my friend, there's LOTS of Love on this board for you! Sure hope you'll be eating steak real soon. Maybe Fay could send you another chicken until you can eat the steak?! Chicken's not as heavy as steak might be. Hey, just GET BETTER, PLEASE???? You have so many of us praying for you that even if you wanted to leave us, we have you under a prayer spell, and we know where you live! So, on that note, I'll still keep you in my prayers. So, did you say Steaks at your place in two or three weeks? I think we can make it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Dear Bob, I joined the board shortly before you went on your "famous" trip. I read your past posts and feel as though I got to know you. I am sooo glad to see that you are posting again. You are in my prayers and my thoughts. I hope you can eat that steak soon and so proud of you for not giving up...keep up the fight...we all believe in you. I am sorry you are depressed but I can't imagine anyone facing all that you have had to face without being depressed. Just know that we are all here and pulling for you. We miss you.

stand4hope Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hi Bob and welcome back, I was new on the board about the time that you went off for a while. I remember your picture and reading your posts. I also know that from the posts from others wondering how you were that you are a pretty popular guy on here. I'm glad you're back and looking forward to reading all the good things you have to say. Katie: I was wondering - if I promise to stay off the board for a while, will you send me a TEXAS steak? Bob: Once again, welcome back! God bless you, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
