<400 Nitro Express>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.

MarteriusGood luck Mac. You are in my thoughts.

MikelravyGood 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.

mehulkamdarGood 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!

jpbBest 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.

MacD37Thanks 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!

Rich ElliottMac,
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!

At my age, there is much to be said about life after a knight's sleep!
Thanks Jameieter! Pardon the joke, I'm just feeling a little giddy today! Too much pain killer, I guess! ![[Confused]](images/icons/confused.gif)

JameisterMac: 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.
