Cancer Free Still......
Cancer Free Still......
Back on 10 Dec 2010, 6 days before my 44th birthday I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer. Got real lucky because it was discovered because I passed a stone and the blood freaked me out. Even luckier was the fact it was Low Grade, Non-Invasive, so in other words we caught it way early all because I panicked when I peed blood.
Today I had yet another scheduled bladder scoping and I'm still cancer free, so I'm basically close to being cancer free for 11 years. Doc told me today if it was going to come back, it would've/should've reappeared already. Went from 3 month scopings, to 6 month scopings, to yearly scopings, to 2 year scopings now. Can't complain about that!
So I celebrated by smoking a fat ole Cohiba.........
10 Dec 2010 cancer diagnosis
16 Dec 2010 pre-op and my 44th birthday
23 Dec 2010 procedure to remove the cancer
Within 13 days of being discovered the cancer was removed and they got it all.

Re: Cancer Free Still......
Dominican Cohiba is all right, but I found the Cuban one a bit on the strong side. You have to smoke them slow, try to rush it and it will bite you. Congratulations on the no cancer thing, something it's always good to find out you don't have.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Tell me, them things are strong, and I for some dumb reason smoke a cigar like a cigarette with no problems. The stronger the taste, the harsher the burn the more I enjoy it. Just goes to show I more than one loose screw.Junk Yard Dog wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 5:49 pm Dominican Cohiba is all right, but I found the Cuban one a bit on the strong side.

Re: Cancer Free Still......
Found out at 1700, I'm scheduled for a consult with my Cardiologist in October to get me scheduled for a Cardiac Ablation in November. This will help control my Afib and get me off the Amiodarone. The Amiodarone will cause Pulmonary Fibrosis.
So if no more Afib I'm all for it, although the surgery itself if not without its own dangers. Example bleeding, stroke, death etc, so I'll learn more about all that in October. But as said if it gets me off the Amiodarone and stops the Afib, ends the Pulmonary Fibrosis scare, etc, then I'm game.....
That way I can remain a pain in yalls asses for many more years to come!

Re: Cancer Free Still......
Good job Mike. You guys don't be lame brains get your checkups. I've had two pre cancer melanomas removed in the last 3 years.
