I'm speechless,
I don't really know how to reply to things like this,
it looks like it is looking up.
I don't know you, but, I feel like you could
easily be one of my friends.
Good luck.
I hope we can go skiing together sometime,
oh, I mean...
I ride a snowboard,
so...
well, you know...
thank you for your story.
At least you don't have a peanut head like I do!Quote:

Congrats on the attitude and the strength and the general kick-assedness of all that you embody. There's a doofus in Montreal wishing you strength and humour and reminiscing about the tgr chats and Hoss Hog greetings. Your one of the good ones for sure and I can't wait to finally make some turns with you.
Proud,

Scary stuff WSD, I'm glad its turning out ok. Props for sharing this very personal issue with the community and being so positive!!!! :yourock: :yourock: :yourock:
You amaze me. Keep it up, and we'll see you in Moab April '08!
Here's to you beating cancer! I'm glad you let us in on this very big secret, you are amazing WSD!
Congrats on your successes so far, wsd. You've been an inspiration to the wife and I.
I was going to write a long post...but I can't.
You rule :yourock: ... that is all!!!
:) :) :)

Dang, step away for a day and this bomb drops. M, your enthusiasm for life even in the face of this set-back is infectious and inspiring.
You rock.
Wow. Way to fight it and stay strong...I'll be seeing you back at Kirkwood very soon...(and if I ever got a damn mountain bike I'd see you out there too) Inspirational!
I'm a little late to the party, but I'd just like to wish you the BEST OF LUCK!!! I hope beyond hope you kick cancer's ass and live a wonderful life. You truly are an inspiration and we all could learn a lot from you. We all have shitty things that happen in our lives (break-ups, lost jobs, traffic) but your fight puts it all in perspective.
I'm no medical doctor and I only stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once, but your outlook, attitude and personal strength will be your cure for what ails you. These things are stronger than the vicious, necessary stuff you get pumped into your body in the hospital. Here's to your fight and your victory:yourock:
Once again, TGR does not disappoint with support . . . well said by all . . . and just what you did for Ranger Mike was amazing in itself . . . best of luck to you!!
wow, wsd. you are truly an inspiration for all of us. thinking of you and hoping and praying for a speedy and successful recovery.
When you get done beating this, I hope you shave your head again cuz that is VERY sexy.
Just read your post, haven't read any responses yet, tears in my eyes. You are amazing M.
Once you enter "cancerworld," you are never the same, whether you are the patient or that patient's family/friend.
This hits me at an interesting time as my GF is having an ultrasound in the next few days for a lump in her breast that she been watching for a few months--she was told by 2 docs, including her surgeon father (a specialist in breast surgery), that it most likely wasn't cancer, probably a cyst/fibroid or something (I'm no expert!), so we left it at that. But it hasn't gone away and now she is getting a little scared. Hence the further investigation. I am overcautious and thought she should get an immediate biopsy, but she deferred to the docs...
I honestly hardly saw your bald head in that second to last pic--I just saw your radiance and beautiful smile.
I am glad to hear that you have such strong loving support in your fight--that can make all the difference in the world.
And now you have us. :D
you rock mad vibes....
WSD... great attitude, hang tough. AND BTW, with your beautiful smile, you look great with or without hair!
And one up here in Seattle too, WSD.Quote:

wow..thanks for sharing that, you are incredibly brave and seem to have a great attitude and spirit about you through all this. God bless, stay positive and keep on kicking that f&%$& cancer's ass!
Wow, I can't believe this has been going on for the last 6 months . . . it makes me want to hop on a bike and share a laugh with you! I've been thinking a lot about our good times in d-ville recently and you've crept into my thoughts more than once - it's definitely some perspective to find out that you've been fighting a very real fight while it's so easy to assume that no news means status quo . . .
Your spirit and depth of character have shone since the day I met you, and continue to shine in this post. Your presence improves the lives of the people around you, and I am glad to hear that the gifts you've shared with others are coming back to lift you up through this process.
Congrats to being back on the road to recovery, and for keeping an incredible perspective on this journey . . . I can't even begin to imagine what the road has been or what is coming, but positive thoughts will certainly be coming from up north!!
Keep on keepin' on :cool:

Wow M...you aren't just a survivor, your are re-defining the word. Way to fight for it! My thoughts are with you...
