Pfloyd needs your support ...
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

Prayers from Waverly my friend! Nice to meet you at the Convo this year!
Re: Pfloyd needs your support ...
Prayers to you pfloyd. I know exactly what you’re going through. Last February the drs gave me one year. Well I’m one month past the one year and I have no intention to give up now. I’ve missed a lot of basketball this year ( chillicothe and Unioto fan) and struggle to last a whole game when I get the chance to attend a game. My cancer has metastasized to my bones throughout my body but my last bone scan showed no new growth since the 6 months after chemo ended. I remember reading all the updates pfloyd would post on his cancer these past few years and was happy things were getting better for him. And when I found out I had stage4 cancer , I was lost . My wife and I cried for hours. All I kept thinking about was my wife and 2 boys. As I’m sure pfloyd would agree, cancer changes everything in your life. You live day by day. So pfloyd , my hat is off to you for your courageous fight and here’s to many more years of your elite eight posts. If you see someone Thursday at the convo walking with my blue rollater, that would be me Feel free to stop and say hey

... (((hug))) Bronc21 ... you are in my prayers my friend ... the struggle is real, the thoughts of family going on without you/me are real ... I wish you the best in your fight ... I thank you for your support over my struggle/fight as well ... battles are MEANT to be won ! sports prepares us for ALL of those battles in LIFE ... being IN the battle counts , putting self on the line counts, taking loss as a learning experience counts ... fighting the battle for your life - counts - being able to draw on those competitive moments - priceless in winning LIFE's battles ... YOU are in my prayers my friend ...Bronc21 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 11, 2018 8:09 pm Prayers to you pfloyd. I know exactly what you’re going through. Last February the drs gave me one year.
