Well Monday I saw my Oncologist. Got some bad news. Where the tumor is makes it inoperable at this stage. So I am in Stage 4 and they are hoping Chemo drugs will shrink the tumor. In the mean time I am on pain killers. Pain is almost constant and gets worse at times.
So that was Monday. Now Tuesday I felt a bit ok to do some machining on my indexer spindle. Well I go down in the shop and start turning more down. Well I started getting a lot of chatter in the beginning of the cut. I tried everything I could think of to remedy the situation to no avail. Not a good day.
So today I am just going to relax a bit and do nothing.
 
Take care Bill and look after your self

Bill, attitude is everything in battling cancer. Go back down there, get rid of the chatter. Then finish your part. You'll feel much better, and that will help . Everythings connected.
Its when you don't feel good mentally, that you need to push and get over it.

Good luck.
 
Bill, I'm sorry about the bad news. Not much of a consolation but sometimes these tumors do regress. I certainly hope that it is the case for you.
 
Went to pain Dr yesterday, spent entire day in excruciating pain from being up and traveling. But I'm so sorry for your Dr reply. Ill be praying for the chemo , no fun but sometimes it works really well. Use the full gambit food changes , whatever they say that helps. Bill I really do think God helps us, I'm hurting like somebody's ripping my insides apart right now I've had no relief from the epidural but I'm scheduled for another next Tuesday. If it don't help I'm going to Jefferson in Philly and either I come out in no pain or I don't come out at all. My directives are on file I'm done in and can't take no more.
 
Thanks for the best wishes. Only time will tell. I am hoping it does shrink as the pain should lessen or be gone if it does. right now it is against both my bladder and rectum. It causes a lot of pain when sitting. But does ease up a little when standing or laying down. But even then it does not always ease up when standing or laying down. Good days and bad. I was going to ask the Oncologist if it would have been operable 6 months ago when I first notice the discomfort when sitting. But then I figured why bother. It's too late now. But it does leave me wondering about my Urologist not doing a scan back then and waiting until I couldn't pee on my own and had real pain.

He should have done that right away , I've been screwed by Dr s for ever. I'd see a lawyer not right for him to at least do xrays and bladder scan . May have helped . Six months extra growth means ALOT.
