I have something to say... hope it helps someone.

You are always in my thoughts, Randy.
I will always remember our trip to my first FJ rally.
Your kind and open friendship you and Susan showed me how good-hearted you are.
I don't mind telling you, but I hope that the others wound mind seeing to grown men hug at the Central rally.
That is just the best way I can tell you how much you mean to me.
Take care, and stay strong, my friend.

Hi randy,
I read your post a couple of days ago and was thinking of you today.
and would like to say thank you for sharing. My father died from C when I was 17.
Back in 1974. They still had used radiation and chemo. Sounds funny that same sort of treatment 40 years later. My brother in law just passed with head and neck cancer, came back, he was 67.My wife is a cancer pharmacist. But my thoughts are if we live long enough, almost all of us will get the darn stuff.
Good thoughts and prayers your way,
Dave

Dave, first, I'm sorry for the losses you've suffered with this thing.  Honestly, with head and neck cancer, dealing with the treatments is much worse than the disease itself.  I can vouch that they are brutal, and some of the side effects are lifelong.

FWIW, Susan and I met with my new oncologist at IU health yesterday.  We hit it off with her right away, as she has a great sense of humor, and she'd been told that I was messing with her staff in a way that she, in her position, cannot do.  Discussing treatment options, we're on the same page, as well.  By all accounts, she's an excellent onc.

I'll be going back on platinum based chemotherapy right after we return from the ECSR, so by the first couple of weeks of June, I should be well into losing my hair again.  If it's like last time, it won't be all that bad... at least the WX is warm.

You are always in my thoughts, Randy.

Leon, if I don't get a hug from you, I'm going to be upset...

It has been sometime since any posts on this topic. Randy has done a bunch of stuff this year and was able to make all four US rallies in one season: http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=16119.msg162395#msg162395

I was just advised Randy in the ICU at IU Health University Hospital in Indy. I was told he was posting over on FB, but since I do not have account I am not sure what is going on.

Please keep Randy and Susan in your thoughts and prayers.

Randy indicated he was doing better but posted  "So Susan went to dinner and is walking back to the hospital to visit me, and gets hit by a car... Says she's gonna be okay, but I'm like " damn, what else?"  He is having a rough go of it.

Randy,
Hang in there, Buddy!

Since your initial post on this subject, I've lost a good friend in the MG world; and my Mom three weeks ago.

Words simply don't convey the full meaning sometimes.

I care.

Tough subject.
