I'm not good at this.....so I'll just wish you the best of everything. There's a lot of folks you never met pulling for you!!!

The Doctors are getting better information every day and the techniques, methods, and medicines are progressing as well. Faith; Hope; Family and Attitude. Our Prayers are with You and Your Family.

Good luck Mac. Give it both barrels.

God Bless you, and I wish you the best, and a swift recovery.

In my prayers...

Mac:

This is rotten news. Since you've hung out with it for quite a while, I'm sure it will be all right. My thoughts are with you until I hear from you again, my friend.

----------------------------

"Serious rifles have two barrels, everything else just burns gunpowder."

Good luck Mac. You are in my thoughts.

Good luck Mac. As a long-term cancer survivor I can tell you that there is life after cancer. Keep a positive attitude and don't ignore what your body is telling you. Little problems that you used to ignore will now need to be addressed promptly. I know it sounds silly but I feel that I am a better person for having faced it.

Mac,
Sorry to hear such bad news.
We will pray for your health.
Good luck!!

Good luck Mac,

You'll be up and hunting soon! My father has been a cancer survivor for the past 5 years (some say that he looks younger than me) and my mother in law for more than 12.

We'll look forward to seeing you back here soon!

Good hunting!

Mac,

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Regards,

Terry

Mac, my thoughts will be with you for a speedy and thorough recovery.

MacD37-Best of luck- Mindset is everything. I know you'll do fine!-Rob

Mac,

I'm another prostate cancer survivor. Had mine dealt with 4 years ago. So far, so good. Trust the Doc's.

You will be huntin again in the near future.

Mac,

Like the others say, hang in there and keep that positive outlook!

Mark

God Bless. I hope he holds the surgeon's hand. Attitude is everything as has been said before. We will pray for you. Hope you are back hunting soon. "D"

Hey Mac,

Good luck and God Bless!! I will remember you in my prayers.

Bob

Mac-
get well soon, we'll miss your posts!

Best wishes MacD37!

And, as others have said, attitude really is important! Keep a positive attitude! There is lots of research indicating a strong link between the immune system and a patient's attitude.

Thanks for the kind words, folks, I'm home now, and everything is OK! Outside some recovery, and learning to use my left hand, and arm again, I'll br fine. The cancer was in my left hand, and arm, It will be some time before I can handle a big bore Double rifle again, but That's better than looseing the arm, and maybe more!

Again, thanks for the kind thoughts!

Mac,

Glad it all went okay. Even with a bum left arm you can still make deer season. Just use one of those light kicking, plastic stocked, push feed 700's
Hang in there!
Rich Elliott

glad your OK and welcome back.

There is much to be said about life after surgery.

It is good.
welcome back!

Mac,

Best Regards,

Mac: as a fellow 9.3 or was it a fellow Merkel shooter?

anyway, an old friend of mine said when asked how he was:

"every day left on this side of the ground surface is good!!"

I am off to conditioning exercises. just had my 52 birthday yesterday, and my 17 year old son expects me to hike him into Idaho backcountry to get his second elk. What he does not realize is that I am in search of my first 6X6 more than in search of his second elk!!! We leave in 33 days, and my gut dunlops too much.
