Longarrow posted this on the prayer forum back Oct 11th I believe:
You will have to bear with me as I try to work thur this..It maybe long and.. maybe my last..First...Tradgang means the world to both of us, thanks to everyone! As most of you know I lost my brother & best friend (ShaftSlinger)to cancer in Jan '11. It has affected me in ways no one will understand. Harold was 74...I'll be 60 next month. Sep 25, (funny how you seem to remember important dates), working outside I get faint/lightgs headed, so I took a break. Thing continue to get worst, fatigue, weakness, dizzle, pain in the chest. My brother Darrell and I was at the hunting camp 3 Oct, (our wives had a taken themselfs to LA for a week of gambling & the good life!) Darrell asked if I wanted to hog hunt tonight, I told him I'd rather not, just not feeling up to it. Well the next morning, I tell him he needs to take me to the nearest "Urgent Care" unit. so 30 min later we arrive. We you say chest pain in hospital tha is worth a "hoot" watch out!! After 2 hours test, the doctor say he's sending me to "Big Hospital" where the "real doctors" work! Next thing you know in the red wagon going 80 MPH down the road! Let me tell you, when they pulled me out of wagon, I had 6 of the most beautful DOCTORS I've ever seem on top of me!! Where did the ladies come from!! OK....After 2 days of test, ect,ect. Nothing wrong with my, It's as strong as a 18 year old! But good doctors keep looking... sent me down for an "Utral Sound" (Yea I told tehm I wasn't pregant) I'm not the smartest in the world, BUT I do know when,Bright RED, BLUE dots staring popping up on and an utltra sound, it may not be good. So next up is a CT scan of the stomach region. Yep those things take very good pictures! Yep...the cancer got me to! How bad? Like the Doc said...there is no good cancer...it goes from bad to badest, mine is the badest of all. He gave me 2 weeks to 12. Not many patients i my condition see 12 months. No operations, it cover the kindeys, stomach and pancres. He doing a very good job of making me comfy!! ANOTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND, 2 years ago I was 100% cancer free, had a cancer physical, colon exam all the bells and whistles. In just 2 years, this thing could end my life today! SUPPORT St Judes!! Just keep us in your prayer. Having serverd 24 years in Army and several wars, my family is about as prepared for theis ans can be. You know the best part...here very soon, I'll be sitting the campfire with Mom & Dad, Harold (ShaftSling) Winford, SISSY and many many more family and friends.
We never heard on that forum that he passed. Thanks, "bama" for the update. Sad how many cancer claims!
