I have been meaning to blog for sometime now. Its not like there is nothing to talk about and when I saw Da Rock had posted something I figured I better put a little post before I am totally off the GCP page. What up Darrel? Thats right.. you guys keep tipping ,though I still will be putting some of you on tip probation.
Anyhoo...the last time I blogged was around December and it wasnt even about poker as you can see. Most of you that give a rats ass to even read this blog already knew that I found a lump in my thigh which ended up being the Big "C". It is a rare type called Sarcoma, my version is MFH (malignant fibrousos hystiocytoma) After the biopsy report I of course went to the internet to research MFH.( This is before I met with Oncologist) Folks dont ever do this. It will scare the shit out of you. The majority of what I found nearly had me making out my will. Talking to a few doctors in Houma didnt make me feel much better. They said not much is known about Sarcomas and removal was the only treatment. I knew I had to go to M.D. Anderson .That place is amazing..they have a team of doctors that only deal with Sarcoma patients. They have a very aggressive approach to the aggressive cancer. On the net you will hear that chemo and radiation doesnt respond well. At MD they told me that in my case I could handle higher doses of chemo that some people can not. Well I went through 6 rounds of chemotherapy from Feb-June ...sucked but the area where tumor was removed shrunk considerably. I did 5 weeks of radiation which i finished friday. I will be home for a month then go back for reconstuctive surgery to remove margins around thigh muscle. So far they say I am a star patient and everything is going well.. The big thing with this is not to spread to lungs or reappear which it does 50% of the time within 2-5 yrs. I feel I have the edge in this coin flip with MD on my team. Does that sound like an infomercial?
Thanks for the support and prayers as well as the donations to help with all the overwhelming expenses that have incurred, especially you lunchboxes at the poker table(lol) Seriously though I am still waiting for someone to plan a charity tournament for me. Hell maybe I will organize it myself. You mean to tell me yall will fork up 100-300 bucks for some bullshit Hercules mardi gras donkament where you might win a shotgun or a dinner cruise for 20 people. Hell I wont be half as greedy as that ponzi scheme....I digress ....I have been blessed to have such great friends and family.
I have managed to fit in some poker from time to time. Getting back to online play lately, oh how i missed the beats that only the internet can provide with such regularity and craziness. They make it so fun with the dramatics. Hope to see some of yall this week as I get back to the felt. Dont know the dates but im pretty sure i wont get to play the big tourney at the Beau coming up. That sux. I will be on IR for about a month then start rehab. What happened to the Summer of George??!!!!
