Well Fuck...

[TBI]

I was diagnosed with leukemia the end of April. The type I have is extremely rare with less than 1000 cases diagnosed yearly. The Doc says it isn't curable, but it is treatable. I need to get my boat back on the water for some hydro therapy.

I have only told a few friends and some of my family, those of you who are friends with me on facebook please keep it on the down low for now please

Cheers, Bilge

There is always hope !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My wife and one of my sons had a form of cancer, wife underwent like 100 chemo sessions and is clear today, been like almost 10 years ago. It was the same type that NFL coach had, very rare we were told but curable, promolyspeptic I think, Dont remember what type my oldest had but it was 23 years ago and he is still clean. I know its very, very difficult to do but dont give up HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any thoughts of getting a second opinion?

 

[Mototrig]

I have leukemia as well, mine is treatable. I am so sorry.

Get that boat on the water and enjoy when you can!!

 

[OCMerrill]

WTF Jeff...Well at least you know what your dealing with.

Getting you back on the water? What's needed there?

 

[Tommy Gun Images]

You are in my prayers Jeff! If anyone can kick this things ass and turn it into a positive story it’s you! Can’t wait to see that boat on the water!

 

[PaPaG]

FUCK CANCER, you got this, prayers by the 10 fold being sent....fight on brother.

 

[Jefftowz]

kick it’s ass Jeff! Any off the grid treatments? Mexico?

 

[LuauLounge]

From experience, listen to your medical team and do get another opinion(s).
Use the Internet for general information, but no 2 cases are the same, comparing your situation to Bob’s in Timbucktoo, will drive you crazy and serve no purpose.
As I was told 8 years ago, I’m in a marathon, not a sprint.
Prayers your way and enjoy life every day.

 

[Ducksquasher]

I am so sorry...I will be praying for you.

 

[rivrrts429]

You got this Jeff! I’ve got two thumbs up up for you…. Errrrr… maybe one and a quarter. It’s the thought that counts buddy

Seriously, you got this bud. You’ve got a huge community of support!

 

[Willie B]

… Well that certainly does suck…. Kind of makes me wonder with my old age and not so good health maybe I should get my Spectra 24 and my Sanger circle runner dialed in… Just to have them ready……Hang in there…

Leukemia survivor here (AML - in 2020) and I know there are a few others on here. Prayers, well wishes, and good vibes your way - fight on.

 

[dave29]

I was given 2 years 5 years ago. I'm still going. Renal cell carcinoma stage 4 metastatic. New drugs are released every year. The key is to keep up hope, be positive, live your life and pray that a cure comes before it's your time. Cures are the ultimate but just slowing or stopping the progression is a big win.
I will say a prayer for you tonight. They really help too!!
God bless.

 

[Warlock1]

Damn dude, sorry to hear that. That's a scary diagnosis no matter what they say. Sounds like your a grab the bull by the balls and not let go kinda guy so finish the boat and have some fun while you enjoy life

 

[coolchange]

So sorry to hear this Bilgie. I’m pulling and prayin for ya.
PS, I had it 35 years ago, so there’s that…
