Reason I have not been on much lately. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Angrybird 12 · 01-15-2011, 09:49 AM

Just wanting to check in and let everyone know why the Camaro forum has taken a back seat to everything else..
A couple months ago I started having some health problems. after some tests it was determined that I needed surgery to remove a mass. This mass was sent to the Mayo Clinic where it has been tested and the results are I have been diagnosed with two forms of Cancer. There is evidence it has entered my bloodstream but no tests show any other cancer tumors growing at this time.
I will be starting Chemo treatments soon as a preventive measure to kill any cancer cells floating around looking to attach themselves and start growing.
I ask for your prayers for myself and my family as I have had much experience with family members with cancer, I lost my first wife 4 years ago, and my dad 2 years ago.
Thank you.
Tim

Thoughts and prayers with you. I can undestand what you and your family must be going through as I have a sister that is a cancer survivor and she has gone through Chemo and radiation treatments and she is now cancer free and has been in remission for 2 years now. Please keep us posted.
