 Subject: Cancer sucksI think about posting and then don't then think then don't. In a week and a couple days I go in to get a kidney removed. Kidney cancer. WTF? Can't bike for a month. I had to talk Doc into saying I can swim in two weeks IF it doesn't hurt. I'm just grumpy. |

If you are mostly upset about missing training, it sounds like cancer is about to get it's azz kicked! Best wishes for successful surgery and quick recovery. |

| Subject: RE: Cancer sucks The good news (there is actually some) As long as it hasn't gone out of the kidney, as soon as I get it cut out, it's done. There's not even any special diet required after that and life goes on without restriction. Good news #2: According to my urologist (the doc doing the surgery) he's used to the FAA and flight surgeons and he says there is no reason I cannot get cleared for flight status as soon as it's healed. I just am crossing fingers it's internal to the kidney only. 10 cm X 8 cm X 6.5 cm. I basically don't have a right kidney any more. I did change out my crank set with power meter and bottom bracket over to the carbon road bike so I wouldn't have as much vibration on me when I got to riding again. Yeah, I'm finding little puttery things to do to keep occupied  Thanks for all the good thoughts, all are appreciated! |
