Hawg, I'm very sorry for your loss, I know you and your brothers are very close. I have lost both of my brothers in the past 3 years and every day I wish I could hear their voices again.
 
So sorry. The surprise makes the shot even greater I'm sure. But is there a better way to go? This or some lingering and painful farewell. Please. Gpd.

One certainty we see from this,heartfelt tribute, with his passing comes remembrances. None who knew him, it seems, will be without their wonderful memories of him.

Requiescat in pace.
 
Welp, it is back. PET scan shows lymphoma in bone and tissue again.

I will begin the stem cell replacement process almost immediately. It takes about a month to get things going.

Bone and tissue biopsies to confirm cancer is the same as before. It is possible but not likely that it’s another type.

8 to 12 weeks of chemo to try to eradicate it again. This will be a shorter but more harsh version not designed with my other organs’ protection in mind, but only to eradicate.

Sometime in late January or early February, I will go to the Karmanos Cancer Institute for about a month for the actual stem cell replacement process. This will include additional chemotherapy to wipe out my immune system. During this time, I will be in isolation and then they will reinsert my own cleansed stem cells.

Once complete, I’ll be released home but will remain in some form of isolation until my immune system comes back. I should be at home for about six months.

So next September, if all goes well, things should be back to normal.

I was planning on retiring soon anyway, so I’ll work with our financial advisor and my company’s HR to make the right moves. That said, I think sometime in the next week or two, I will work my last day.

I’m going to do my best to continue to live my life -as I did through the first round of the battle. I have a wonderfully loving and strong wife and family. I have been incredibly lucky to have lived a great life, so no matter what happens, God has been good to me. I am most concerned about my family.

I will fight this.

I will be around from time to time.

It clearly doesn't remember the ass kicking that you gave it the last time. Hopefully it will remember after this next ass kicking.
