kepy0729 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Posted March 24, 2018 The rumor that I died is false. I've been gone a long time as I found out last year that I have cancer. Turns out it was pretty aggressive and all the available treatments were not suitable for me so I had pretty much given up. Then I found out about a new treatment that my Dr. thought would work but the only available unit was out of network for my insurance so spent almost 6 mos. trying to get it approved. Finally got to have the treatments and they weren't as easy as I thought they would be. Had to wait 3 months to check on success. Had the first test yesterday and everything looks good so it appears I may be around longer than was originally thought. I am glad to be back and looking forward to being back in the shop.
