well guys , Great Big thanks for Your well wishes and Prayers ,I am able to feed my cows each day , and have been able to change out a starter and change tires on my tractor with no strain ,,, and at 2 pm I take a 2 hour nap each day .. So now ,.after colon surgery heals all the way ,, gonna do chemo for one lousey loose cannon on deck cancerous lymph node,,one out of nine tested to be a trouble maker ,..my Sara and I met with the chemo dr.today ,,the colon cancer has been removed surgically and is done! . but because of lymph node test I have a 5 % recurrence rate if I do nothing,.. it is amazing that some of us are walking time bombs carrying cancer cells for years that are dormant ,and we all feel ok and have no idea ,. the Dr. told me I have a kay -mast -strain (spelling ) in my body that could go rapid fire if it chooses to ,if bad things line up ,. kinda like a ember in a woods that finally gets wind and fuels itself on dry leaves to make forest fire ... So with That knowledge , I must move forward for chemo without a doubt ,,.not sure if I should get 2nd opinion ,I know I must receive treatment ,,. but I question the method ,the Dr , says I will be in treatment 6 monthes, twice per month, 12 sessions that will require a 3 hour office visit with chemo coupled with a take home box treatment that will dribble into me for some 44 hours at which time I come back to office and drop off the empty ,, they will have to install a port in my chest that will stay for a year ..there is lot to think about , they were most helpful and supportive and loaded us with literature and info which Sara is poring over rite now . ....and THEN ,there is another Dr.that I am thinking I could discuss methods with,. and i wonder how the treatment would differ . both Dr.are highly recommended and have a 4.5 star rating . their volume of patients seen and cured is a high number .consequently , and sadly both have indeed lost patients they could not cure , just wonder if you guys got any advice from your life experience and are willing to share ,,..I know you folks are not Dr.'s and I am not pretending you know more than the good Dr.'s,,. I certainly have come to trust your wisdom ,and have thouroghly enjoyed your fellowship and brotherhood in my 15yrs with the forum ..

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
