  • Health update

    As many of you know I have suffered from some serious health issues over the last year. I went to hell and back, then took a repeat journey. I want to thank all of those kind souls here who supported me and wished me well through posts this site. Your kind thoughts were so helpful in getting me through this.

    I met with my oncologist last Monday and she basically pronounced me cured. Looks like I have beat the big C. Sure there is a chance of reoccurance, but it is less than 5%. CT scans and blood work are good and we just follow up and monitor.

    She said she beat me up pretty good. That was an understatement. But, now I have just one more surgery in early January to get the chemo port removed and this is hopefully behind me forever.

    This is good, beacause as strength returns I have a lot of unfinished modeling project to complete, including a blast furnace.

    I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who supported me.

      Ralph, good to hear from you and even better to hear such wonderful news! :up: Congratulations.

      I know that's a large weight off of your mind and your families.

      Can't wait till the 27th. See you then.

            Great news, Ralph. I hope this means you’ll be back in model railroading and posting here again.
