Dapper

Wrapping you in a green blanket of healing energy! May your recovery be speedy.

Best Wishes to you.

Dapper, my very best to you.

You are one of the people here I have great respect for and get so much out of your musings.

I am glad you have support around you and I think it is a good thing to post this as we care about you as a right-on member here! A good friend of mine recently had colon cancer surgery and treatment and she is doing great which will be the same for you. But, hell, this is a big deal to be dealing with! sounds like the surgery went well. Good!! The first step is over!

You RAWK and I will keep you in my thoughts while you get through this.

Hey bro. It was a good idea to let people know here. Well, maybe not Corkey and Betenoir. Lol. They would always sink to the bottom, so to speak.
Know that your community here will keep you in our thoughts and/or prayers, sending light and evoking the healing power of collective will. Candles lit through your chemotherapy. And, yes, rlin was mostly right ... mostly. Depending.

I know that you have a lot of support at home. We've just widened that circle. You can't do better. Hugs to you, bro.

Hey now! Me and Corkey provide a valuable service!

It is no coincidence that poo rhymes with woo.

:whoop:

Are these services paid for, or, ate they freebies? :sunglass:
Poo woo? :seeingstars:
I'd watch out for these two if I were you, Dapper. In the meantime, just be sure to :fart: and keep the surgeon happy.

Update
 

Just wanted to let everyone know that Dapper didn't fall off the face of the earth after starting this thread.... Hy unfortunately developed an obstruction in hys intestine and ended up back in the hospital on Thursday. Today hy had surgery to remove the adhesions and everything went well.

Thanks for all the well wishes and woo.... (and let's hope the poo will soon follow):praying:

Hi, Folks!

Thanks for all the well wishes...I am back in business!

As tatalizingfemme said (thanks, honey!), the day I wrote the thread (strangely just a few hours later), I started having intense pain and then went into the emergency room. I had a second surgery and just got out of the hospital the end of last week. This is my first day I have turned on the computer. Tougher recovery this time around, but onward and upward!

Later this week I will meet with the oncologist in my area and then next week I will meet with the folks in Philly for a second opinion on chemo.

Thanks again for all of the wonderful support...it is so very much appreciated!

:fart:

UPDATE
 

Well, this is IT, folks!

Last chemo infusion today!

It has been a tough road since August, but I am FINALLY done! Just in time for summer!

The support I have received through my gf (tantalizingfemme), has been incredible over this time, and I just want to give a thanks to her here at bfp! I truly couldn't have asked for a better partner!

Also, a little shout out to Bete for being a wonderful support to me as well. I didn't know her before the chemo, so it is pretty cool that we became friends during this time and I had an online support friend.

Also, I appreciate the support that I have received from EVERYONE here.

One can get a little whacky with chemo (perceptions get off and brain doesn't work oh, so well), so I apologize if I have been a little "off" in my posts at all. I suspect that the ones who know have kind of treated me with kid gloves if I offended without thinking, which I appreciate!

I hope to not have any problems in the future. With the surgery and chemo, I only have about a 18-20% the cancer will return, so that is awesome!

Thanks again, all!
