I began passing blood in my urine. That’ll scare the daylights outta ya.


Went in for a biopsy, stayed for the removal, never looked back. God is good!

Now every 6 months I get scoped. After the last Doc says every 12 for a scope every 6 for a pee test. Boy am I gonna miss getting scoped. The thing looks like a straw and feels like a sewer line.

One month outViews: 214

I was looking at my day calender and realized, I am within the one month mark for my 2.5 year check up. This will be my first without the “scope”. Just a urine test, Doc says it is good but I am a bit nervous about accepting the results without the look and see. Not that I mind missing the scope, for the timid, picture a man birthing a python. I actaully looked the scope over and it is rather small in diameter, I am left to assume that the nurse inflates it as it passes through the prostate.

So now I sit and wonder…what if, you know the rest. I hate the total lack of control. Like I am just along for a ride in my own skin.

On a happier note I have decided that it time for more ink, so I will be making an appointment to celebrate my test results. I am thinking of one of those little guys pissing on cancer, or maybe a set of lips with cancer written on them kissing my fuzzy butt. You know something tasteful and dignafied. Something that lets the world know just how I feel about this crap.

If anyone knows Gemma or hears from her, ask her to drop by I am worried about her. If you are someone who has introduced yourself and then not updated, why not take a momnet and drop a line. I am always blessed to read all the posts, good or tough, lets me remember I am in good company.

Take care of yourselves. Hug yourself and giggle, it freaks people out!

Prayers and hugz to all
Mac

Hey man!
Good to hear that you are still living like a true Rugged Rider!

Stay strong and know that we are lookin out for you; thinking and praying (praying that I can get the image of your fuzzy backside out of my head!).

Mad Love kid!

Hey Mac!

I had decided that I wouldn’t have anymore tats, but after this I’m going to get a crab. It will do double duty as my zodiac also! =o) That might be my last…

I think Gemma is on her trip.

That is awesome! Can’t wait to see the photos of your new tat.
Here is one of my favorite cancer tattoos.

I think that Gemma has a month off from chemo and was planning a trip to visit Zak. I have my first tatoo planned with two of my children when I am done with treatment. (I’m kinda scared that it will hurt) Everyone laughs at that saying what could be more painful than the crap your going through now!
Blessings.

Hi Mac. Glad you popped in to give us yet another laugh. You better post a picture of your new tatoo, not that I have any myself (too chicken, too conservative an upbringing, too old and well I would rather leave it up to the bold and the beautiful). That comment above with the girl’s head tatooed, you were a supporter of hers. Is she still around? I haven’t seen any posts lately. In fact I never ran into her posts before now. Lovely idea doing it that way. She must have had a lot of looks but only those with confidence could pull it off. Take care Mac and let us know of your results. Weezie

Heya Mac :) no need to be worried I’m still on my trip and haven’t had too much time to sit at one and comment on posts but I have been reading and I’m just fine, your concern is too sweet.

By the way make sure to take a picture of your new tattoo I’m curious as to what it will be.

Take care,
Gem

Hi Mac,
Good to hear from you. I always enjoy reading your posts. They always bring a smile to my face.
I am curious also to see a pic of your new tattoo.
Take care and God Bless.
Hugs and prayers,
Joyce
