Nothing is wrong , I feel good healthwise - it is just THAT time again - the yearly CT scans/blood draws/oncologist appointment at OSU - The James ... I've posted before I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Melanoma in October of 2010 ... I had 4 years of intense treatments trying to stop the metastasis of the cancer - I've had my lungs resected , lymph nodes removed, nodules removed from my liver & lungs ... my final big surgery was 2 summers ago removing a foot of cancerous intestine ... napkin stats include: 43 days/nights in the James ... 4 separate immunotherapies ... high dosage interferon ... 65 leukine self injections ... a record for the most over night weight gain in one stay when treated with IL-2 ... gain of 31 lbs of water/fluid gain ... coded 1 time during that stay at OSU ... when first diagnosed the oncologist team gave me less than a 50% chance of making it through the year ... we ALL know that those kind of odds simply bring out the competitive spirit in a person ... I played sports in school ... I coached in HS for 20 years prior to getting sick ... don't tell me I DON'T have much of a chance LOL ... I'm still here 7 years later ...
... I know this is a busy time for the basketball faithful Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line ... if you could throw up a prayer or 12 for old pfloyd as he makes his way to C'bus tomorrow morning - it would be greatly appreciated ... last year cancer had NO chance as the entire Warren basketball team prayed with pfloyd in their locker room after a win vs Athens ... please ask the Head Coach to continue to give pfloyd more playing time - living Life is NOT overrated ... #cancersucks #manythanks2allofU
