    Good Day: I got a banned Russian Molot Veper Shotgun in trade for my Colt Delta Elite.

    Bad Day: I have polycemia vera cancer and have 10=15 years left to live.

    I’m sorry to hear the bad news. I’m sorry. Keep chugging along. I’m having a lot of older friends around me slipping away. One is a nam marine with cancer in his lungs and brain. If you’re ever in the metroplex or in Palmer pm me. We can get some range time in.

    Congrats on the vepr12. I love mine.

    Well, as a cancer survivor, I’ll say this: F*ck cancer and the horse it road it on. Don’t let it define you. Define your future.

    If I understand, your particular form is manageable. Do you know if it’s too much reb blood cells or too much white blood cells?

    Thanks. My wife is taking it harder than me. I am good about what waits on the other side at the resurrection.

    Too many red ones. Your bone marrow generates more than you need. You become a blood tick. Even though I am 190 soaking wet. So, once a month they drain off the extra pint. That is really the only solution. None of the rare disease I manage to get don't define me. I prefer to deal with it with humor. My wife, not so much. She is having a very emotional time.

    I’m not a doc, but MD Anderson in Houston is full of the best oncologists in the country. I would guess that barring other complications, there’s gotta be a better treatment than that, unless this is early stage management.

    I told my bride that if she hadn’t managed to kill me in all our years together, there was no way something as simple as cancer would. That was 9 years ago and I’ve been in remission since.

    We’ll keep y’all in our prayers.

    That is a thought rather than just get a pint bled off every month in Huntsville with the Cancer doctor there. Though, I felt better with one pint off. I was disappointed they threw it away. Unless this thing carries I am O+ and can at least do someone some good.

    I am glad to hear it. Yeah, there seems like their ought to be a better way than bailing out the boat every month by taking an excess pint off. Seems like that is just attacking a symptom rather than a cause.
