brian hang in there bud, you can beat this, odie lost 16 lymph nodes, not a big deal, the good news is it isnt in your liver, that is VERY good, my brother lost a testicle to a hernia, & still had another son after, so hang in there bro, we are thinking about you. :)

what i dont understand is the people who are giving you hard time about your condition. i never heard of people doing that! you probably can sue them if they fire you for your condition. fuking idiots!

what is the name of the company you work for? maybe the thousands of MW members can flood thier phone lines and complain how big of an aszholes they really are! Also, who are these rejects you work with?:mad: :mad:

hope you pull through!

James....

Do i want a ride?? HELL YEAHHHHHHHH!!! :D :D :D

James Thanks for the support. The people at work that are giving me hard time are 2 people in the office that have never liked me from day one. My boss is real cool about the situation. They thought it was funny when the doctors gave me a pregnancy test and it came up positive. Other people at work overheard them laughing saying Brian is going to have a baby. Stupid things like that. They also wonder why I am not cured yet--like it is supposed to just go away. I remember one time when I had kidney stone and was pouring blood out of my private area ans they laughed and said it is no big deal I was over reacting cause i stayed in the hospital for five days and had surgery to remove the stones. Then one week later that person had the same thing happen to them and they did not laugh anymore. Maybe this person will get ovary cancer and lets see how she reacts to it. You seee they think there is no way I can have so many medical problems. But hey some of us do and it is no laughing matter. They will get what is coming to them later on in life when Judgement day arrives. I could go on for hrs talking how this one person HATES me. I have no idea why I have never done anything to this woman at all. Oh well I guess that is life. Thanx again bro it is nice to know some people really do care.

oh that burn's me up brian, a guy at work told me i should ditch lee because she has cancer, it took everything i had & 2 guy's to keep me from killing him with my bare hands, geez some people are so freakin stupid.:rolleyes:

So VERY true Marty:mad:

if i was there, my back would be turned.....

yeah i would have done the SAME thing if i was in your shoes. actually no i wouldnt. thier WOULDNT be people able to hold me back!

Dont worry Marty, thier is always a dark alley to be found......

My prayers are with you Brian.
I watched my dad suffer through Colan cancer from the begining so I have witnessed what you are going through. The best thing for you I believe is to not let this thing get you down. Keep smiling and God will do the rest!

:)
 

The people you work for are assholes.....I cannot even believe what I just read....that is so inhuman, uncaring and down right bullshit. That pisses me off and I hope they have ten fold what your dealing with....
all my best to you and your family and I will keep you in my prayers....
TNT :D

Hi Brian,
Well I have just read all the posts and am very upset about the idiot you have to work with. But like so many have said there day will come. And remeber God knows who they are. My heart goes out to you in so many ways. I can understand the fear, fustration, anger, sadness and everything else you are feeling. And I know that you might have a hard time telling your wife how you are feeling because I did have a hard time with telling Marty how I was feeling and it took me some time to be able to tell him all my feelings. And thats OK. But I do know that talking with the one you love makes a big difference. I was afraid to worry Marty but all I was doing was making it worse. Now he knows all my feelings and sometimes maybe to much. But thats what he is here for.
Sorry I am ratteling on about myself but I hope that through this you can see where I am coming from with letting your wife know how you feel. Its Ok to have all the crazy feelings it natural, and anytime you or your wife want to talk with me please feel free to do so. Friends, real friends mean so much. And that what we are here for.
Oh one other thing. When going to see your docs. it gets fustrating cause it seems like you go and sit and wait. And thats true for our part. But they have to consult with other docs to make sure they are performing the right decision for your case and make the right deciosion for your situation. So with this pactience is a virtua. And at times its a real big pain in the a** but hang in there. I know everything is going to turn out just fine. Your tough and this will make you even tougher. And I don't mean that the bad way...so hang in there..your friend Odie:cool:

man I hope everything comes out O.K


prayers are with you.

I can't believe people can be so inhumane. I know it happens all throughout elementary school, middle school, and high school....but I've found a significant drop off in horrible people at college. I assumed it was maturity and growing up, but I guess that not everyone gets that. It's sick that these two employees can manage to say things like this - whether or not they've had it in for you since the beginning. Cancer is no laughing matter, as you know. You should stay away from the stress. All you need is a taperecorder of the voices of those two employees poking fun at another employees conditions and they would probably get fired. But like I said, you need to try to stay as stress free as you possibly can and focus all of your energy into beating this completely. You're nearly there. I'm very glad to hear that you don't have it in the liver. Your body is still on your side. You're doing a great job. Good luck on wednesday. We're always still here for you, not making fun of you.

Good advice, Stress will eat your lunch and pop the bag you bought it in. I lost my Mother to Lukemia when I was five. I lost my father when I was twenty-five. I have no Grandparents. I am the last bearer of my name-sake. The ONE thing that keeps me going is my wife and children. They alone are the source of my strenght. I am in NO WAY trying to take away from your pain and suffering. However, through my life experiences. I have learned to keep those closest to you even closer, for they are your source of power, when you have none of your own. For it is not an option to quit, Ever. You have to many friends counting on you. We at MW are your extended family and will tolerate nothing less than your FULL recovery. I know your scared, fear not, we will be here for you. BTW, You built your steed to kick AS*, so now it is time for you to gather your strenght and do the SAME.

Your friend, Brad

Man, that is shitty. Some people are just stupid. Don't let them get to you, although it's hard at moments like these. Just stay strong, don't worry bud. We're here, and even if your having a baby, just remember Arnold Shwachanger (SP? lol) had a baby and he turned out fine. And he's one of the most manly kinda guys out there. ;) lol I'm just j/king with you. hehehe... Don't bud, your in all of our prayers.

Best Wishes,
§am.

Brian, man, sorry you have to go through this crap. I will definitely pray for you, man. In the meantime, talk to God often, He can provide a lot of comfort, whatever the situation. He has for me...

My best friend had testicular cancer last year, he had his testicle removed and he is fine now, they are even expecting a baby! hang in there and remember this "Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you recieve them and you shall have them" not trying to sound like a preacher, but I thought that might help you in some way?

Great News The biopsy revield that my epimtits tube on the testie was abssed and infected the entire testicale area. Althought pregnancy tests revield that it was cancer it turned out to be a severe absses which can only be releiled by the biopsy. The Cat scan showed masses which were the severe swelling on the testie I am so happy, But the down fall is the infection has spread into the lymphnodes and still might have to be removed. I will know in a week or so how everything will pan out. I am so relieved of this news. I am half way out of the boat now and on my way onto a fast recovery. Thankyou for all of the support you guys have given me.:D

Well GOD Bless you man!
 

GREAT NEWS! WOOOO WHOOOOOO!

I had a VERY similar incident happen after the birth of my son. Mine was an ovary and a dermoid teratoma. After a surgical ordeal, and the lack of good follw-up care, I had an autoimmune response for which I am on antiobiotic intervantion for the rest of my life. But after 3.5 years of not knowing and thinking it could have been that, Hodgkins, or Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma...It's great news to have an autoimmune issue instead of cancer.

I kNOW your relief and am glad your dark path turned out like mine! Great news Brian. I was watching the Lance Armstrong story the other night and was thinking about you and your family. I am so thakful to hear that you will come out of this a better person. Healthy, with a new profound view on life.

Welcome, to the scared shitless, think I'm going to die, graduating class of life my friend! Glad you made it to my end of the road. Welcome to the rest of your life. Make it the best you can!
