Living with Cancer... my pain, trials, and learning to cope.

[Trini Hookah]

Really good stuff V8, sorry for the loss of your friend.

Keep up the good fight, and keep on inspiring others!

[Ronaldo95163]

Sorry to hear that man.

That Mark 2 looks so very familiar though...where was it from?

[V8 Boys]

The car was from 5 Rivers...

[Ronaldo95163]

I've known that car there ever since I was small as well as that same shop...i'm so sorry to hear that man

I knew that car looked awfully familiar

[88sins]

I'm really saddened to hear of the passing of your good friend from this disease.
My condolences to her family, & to you.

Hopefully a cure for this condition, or at least a better way to treat it, will be found soon.

[bluefete]

Hey V8 - Hope all is well.

Another sad but inspirational story.

Maryland high school graduates senior a month early so terminally ill mother could attend

A Maryland high school arranged a private graduation ceremony for Megan Sugg (center), a senior whose mother (right) is terminally ill.

A Maryland high school made sure a student's terminally ill mother would see her daughter graduate.

Glen Burnie High School orchestrated a special graduation ceremony Thursday for senior Megan Sugg after her family feared she would not be able to attend her daughter's June 10 graduation because of the severity of her illness, reports the Maryland Gazette.

School officials worked with the family so Megan could graduate at her home by the side of her mother Darlene, 47, who was diagnosed with colorectal cancer three and a half years ago, the newspaper reports.

"I was happy my mom got to see, but at the same time it was hard," Megan told the newspaper.

Steve Sugg, Megan's father, said his wife's health had started to deteriorate quickly last week and they contacted the school. Officials quickly rushed together to grab some flowers and a gown for Megan.

"I was surprised they came out so fast because principals are so busy," Megan told the newspaper. "It was supportive and really nice of them."

Principal Vickie Plitt, whose mother is also battling cancer, has spoken often with Megan about her mother. She read a speech at the impromptu ceremony about Megan and her future, the newspaper reported.

"I know how proud her mom is of her and we really wanted to give her family a special time," she told the newspaper. "And to really honor Megan, because as much as she's had going on, she's pushed through and is going to graduate high school."

I've been keeping an eye on this drug, 3-bromopyruvate, for some time now.This compound has the most potential to be the biggest thing in medicine in the last 200 years if it gets approval. Could potentially cut death rates from the most common cancers & metastases down to 10% or less.

Hey V8
been reading some of your post since it came out.
Your last post was in April of this year.
How is things with you?
This entity has now reached not on my doorsteps but now in my house.
Don't want talk much about it as yet.
I was always a techie, had faith in science & technology to solve our problems ... into cars with the latest technology , into electronics and computers etc but now I realize with all of our technology we are still at the mercy of other ' elements'.
This is one battle I am not ready for ...

[ismithx]

sigh... found out recently that a good friend of mine has cancer and it has spread...

I mean, I've seen so many people just go... old age and so on, he's not exactly young, and it does pain you to know that there is the possibility that someone you hold dear could go....


what is life....


All the best v8, haven't heard from you in a while, hope you ok

[~Vēġó~]

real hard there anthony.....dunno what to state....

hope all is well there V8

[De Dragon]

My mom is currently undergoing treatment for Stage 4 endometrial cancer which has spread to he neighbouring organs. She has undergone surgery, radiation therapy and is currently on her second round of chemotherapy. I think having a positive attitude helps a lot as I also have an ex whose mom has advanced breast cancer, but you could never tell when you speak to her as she is always upbeat and positive.

[moses_boss12]

Wow read this thread from beginning to end..It really shows me how little we value what we have..I wish you and everyone fighting this..all the best for the New year to come.

This thread has really enlightened me and put a lot into perspective.

Strength and Love

[V8 Boys]

I had made a decision to avoid answering or commenting on posts or threads where Mg Man makes his derisive and acidic comments....especially towards me.

But this one cuts deep:

ay ketch yuhself eh
DO NOT class me with Captain Cancer
Just remember, V8 Boys gave an import-shell '1967' Mini the best in show cash prize
I wouldn't flame someone who doesn't know the difference..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do know that you can't take offence with everything people say, especially on the internet...as they say...people are entitled to their opinions and there is no person alive or dead that has ever pleased everyone they ever made contact with.

And surely, I could have just ignored this comment too....except that he is poking fun of me having Cancer....which he has done on several occasions. I wont even bother to post them here.

Cancer isn't something to take lightly, or make fun of...no matter who has it. And as someone who has been at the deathbed of several of my fellow fighters, I take great offence to even the "hint of sarcasm" towards cancer fighters.

But I just came back from a long day at 2 hospitals, I will be going to another tmrw. Alota needles...alot of tests.

And one of the cancer markers showed that it is TWICE the maximum limit.

I had been feeling unwell now for more than 2 years off and on since finishing chemo in 2012.

I never allow how I'm feeling to show on my face, no matter how bad I'm feeling.

I almost passed out at the wheel a few weeks ago and am not doing so well now.

When cancer comes back the second time around...they don't give you a percentage of survival anymore...they give you a "time frame".

Based on how hard the chemo was the first time, and the surgeries, both nearly killing me...I can only say that it does not look good for me this time around.

Cancer will kill me, it is only a matter of time.

I have seen how AFTER someone's death people tear their name apart...even those who seemed to have been friends. I would simply like that those of you my car buddies know that I have lived the last 3 years with the sole purpose to make people stand up and take notice of the Old School...to fall in love with the Old School again!

My methods and means of achieving this reflects my "don't take no for an answer" attitude. But whatever grouses and complaints some may have had against me, whether true or not, I will not be able to fix or make apologies for ALL of them.

I thought that this thread would be a fitting end to my contributions on Trinituner.

If I have the strength in me, I will complete the V8 Mustang Drift Car and post updates on it. My guys have made a commitment to getting it done.

Thanks guys....I had fun. I really did.

Now for my most epic battle yet...Chemo the second time around.

[hornchile]

Clifford...May God shower his merciful and healing blessings upon you sir.

[supercharged turbo]

Very disheartening to hear.I hope you make a full recovery and may God be on your side.

[M.E.C.P]

All the best to you v8 boy, you are truly a remarkable person to remain so high spirited in the face of such a daunting battle. May your god give you strength to continue as long as you can. Your contribution on tuner will be remembered by many.
I feel sad to knw you will no longer be with us on tuner.

All the best to you my friend. Thank you for the inspiration.

If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, you’re probably hoping to hear your doctor use the word “remission.” It marks a major turn in your care and long-term health. But it’s more complicated than simply being done with treatment.

There are two types of remission:

Partial remission means the cancer is still there, but your tumor has gotten smaller -- or in cancers like leukemia, you have less cancer throughout your body. Some doctors tell patients to think of their cancer as “chronic,” like heart disease. It’s something you will need to continue to check. If you’re in partial remission, it may mean you can take a break from treatment as long as the cancer doesn’t begin to grow again.
Complete remission means that tests, physical exams, and scans show that all signs of your cancer are gone. Some doctors also refer to complete remission as “no evidence of disease (NED).” That doesn’t mean you are cured.
There’s no way for doctors to know that all of the cancer cells in your body are gone, which is why many doctors don’t use the word “cured.” If cancer cells do come back, it usually happens within the 5 years following the first diagnosis and treatment.

I thought Admin supposed to delete threads like this especially in the Car Park section ?

[De Dragon]

Stay strong bro, your story is a great example to people who feel that they have things tough when they really have no idea. Just today my mom was diagnosed with cancer, and I'll share your story and maybe she will draw some inspiration from you.

After 2+ years of fighting the good fight against cancer, my mom passed away last Friday 10th July. Goodbye mom, surely you are in a better place and your suffering is no more. RIP Nerissa.

Condolences to "De Dragon' on the passing of your mum. It could not have been an easy battle.

Anyone knows what is V8's condition? He has not posted in more than a year.

My condolences De Dragon, losing a parent is never easy but trust that she's no longer in pain. Stay strong.

@ Bluefete ...V8 still fighting the fight....he posted the following just over a week ago :

Seriously ,Mg man .....thats the kind of behaviour that , makes this a si kening place....never expected that.

[Richard Marshall]

Please accept my condolences De Dragon. I also lost my mom 5yrs ago.

As for MG Man, that comment was harsh. I myself haven't been seeing V8 around also, even saw someone else driving his truck and was a bit worried. I knew people who had cancer, and believe me, they were alot stronger than me, to have gone through so much. Even right before the end, they all still gave a bright smile. God bless them. It's not something to make fun of.

[Damien]

Condolences De Dragon...
