it's been a bad year 2 years

[Randy]

Thanks

This is a very special place with very special people. I’m not sure there’s anything like the cafe on the internet

No matter how hard it kicks you in the butt...just keep kicking it right back twice as hard. Something that you've obviously developed a skill in doing given your history of remissions. We still need to meet up at CRC.

 

[LyndeeLoo]

Hang in there, Randy. I cannot imagine what you are going through, but you have my continued prayers.

 

[West]

Looking forward to going to Reifel bird sanctuary again

 

[hotrod4x5]

Your story is inspiring. Keep up the fight!

 

[tony-b]

You keep being a grumpy *** kicker. It’s worked this far and you’ve got a lot more grumpy *** kicking to do. You got this. Stay strong.

 

[bsinc1962]

Fighters fight. We're all here for you Randy. Cafe strong ?

 

[andreasb]

What everyone else has said plus: Its amazing to me how strong you are, and that you have the will to fight it like you do, Inspiration is not a big enough word!!!! But I'll say that similar to Vera Lynn, we will shoot again!

 

[MNglass]

Hang in there!

 

[DudleyG]

Randy, remember the saying “Winners never quit and quitters never win” - Keep on Winning !

Agreed, Randy.

Also, I had no idea you've been doing battle for that amount of time. You've been the subject of several case studies at this point, I'm sure.
There have been some advances made in many types of cancers, and they are also becoming, as you mentioned, less toxic.

I'm glad you continue to kick *** and help make the Cafe a great community. Has your doctor done any studies to see if cantankerousness (is that a word?) is an anti-cancer agent?

 

[soxOZ]

Same here Randy, didn't know the battle you were fighting, especially for that amount of time...
Both you & Chrissie, keep up the battle mate..
As you said, "I'm a stuborn grumpy old man who my wife says is too mean to die" so remember, "Only the Good Die Young", you'll out live us all...

I think the baby boom generation has been underrated. Two of my close friends have been in the same fight with one now cancer free from stage 4 melanoma due to an advanced treatment from UCSF. The other has stage 4 lung cancer and is about to get his last dose of chemo but is still busy with his oil painting.

Keep those pictures coming Randy, they're a source of joy.

 

[Commodorefirst]

Hang in there, keep on chugging away and giving it heck. We are behind you.

Randy, I am sorry to hear that things have returned, but it is good that you body is fighting them. And I am sorry to hear about the steroid use. I was steroid dependent many years ago and hated what it did to me, but it was nothing like the ultra high doses they gave me during chemotherapy treatments. It is a wonder drug, but it does come at a price.

Keep fighting and keep moving forward,

--Ken

 

[MikEm13]

I wish you the best.

 

[Brian_S]

too many birds out there needing you to get their pictures, fight the good fight

 

[kilofoxtrott]

Randy, I had to take a deep breath.
Keep on fighting and whenever you'll need support, let us know.

Kind regards
Klaus

Thanks Ted
Just a few years ago metastatic melanoma was a death sentence

Btw Keytruda infusions are $35k each and the previous drug combo, I forget the names, was $75 each. Last year I blew past a $1m
