Here we go again...

So, it all started last week when I started getting little headaches.On May 14/15 I had ridden a 60 mile bike ride, the Clean Air Challenge,ironically enough a fund raiser for lung cancer,from Houston to Talkeetna with Dana and some girls from work.
This past Monday my way out to about 20 miles past Willow to visit my friend Roger at Parker Lake, I started to feel worse and worse. I knew then I should have turned around, but continued on and flew out to the lake with Roger. A few hours and narcotics later, I knew something was really wrong and had him call me a Life flight helicopter to Providence hospital. Apparently, I had tumor pushing on my brain, making me incoherent and non-responsive. With some steriods, the swelling has gone down, but I still have the large tumor plus 2 small ones. At this point, I have 18 out of 20 radiation treatments left and then we will see where things are at. The long and short of it is that the cancer is back, this time in my brain. It is fairly aggressive and I am making plans. I plan on enjoying my summer, spending time with family and friends, here in Alaska and traveling as well. We will see where I am after that. Please feel free to write me here or through facebook, that is the best way, as the phone can get overwhelming. I am happy to have anyone come and visit, I plan on coming to Georgia at some point and want to see everyone.
