Monday morning my right lung will be removed due to mesothelioma as a result of asbestos exposure while in the Navy. I have been on this forum since December 2004, mostly as a reader.
In my opinion this forum has the best communication link of all. I love CTT and this website.
Hopefully I. Will be able to return in a week or two.

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! Remember always, miracles happen to those who ask for them!

Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!

Hope all goes well.
Since I am not service connected, the VA wouldn't schedule me in when my lung first bothered me in July.. I was told my next appoint was in April.
In November I became very ill and my daughter and wife took me to Urgent Care. I was examined and sent to the ER. The doctors sent me to our community leading pulmonary specialist who took charge. He found asbestosis! Then a biopsy mesothelioma was found.
Thanks, older is an honor!
I am 73 and until July had excellent health. As long as I worked at AMVETS never took a sick day.
I appreciate you folks.
We arrived in Columbus and are at a motel across from the hospital. Operation prep starts at 930am.
Sad to report the surgery was not successful. Do not know if there are many options.
Prayers to you my friend please keep us in formed

HE does bless!
David, As a cancer survivor & a former Man-to-Man member, I have seen miracles happen. God be with you.
David,
I'm sorry to hear the surgery did not turn out well. I'll be praying for you and your family.
Joe
I'm going to put you on the prayer list at my church. The whole place will be praying for you my friend.
George
Good luck! There are many of us out there in different stages of cancer. You are not alone, and don't be alone
Sorry to hear about the surgery. Keep a positive outlook. We are all pulling for you. Like Ted said, you are not alone.
John
Chin up buddy. Prayers.
I don't mean to seem unfeeling, but have you considered finding an advocate to file an claim on your behalf against the National Asbestos Trust Fund? If you google it, you will find information. You are entitled to compensation.
God Bless
Hang in there David, better days are ahead. Believe me.
Jon
So many roads, so little time.
David, Prayers from our lips to God's ears.

Tomorrow I am to go to rehab, back home in Portsmouth Ohio.
Hopefully
Good bless and Good luck!
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
David, I am going to chapel this morning with my wife. We will say some prayers for you. I have three cancer surviving sisters who are all holding their own for a long time. One of them was diagnosed with stage 4 and is still doing great. Still driving, shopping, whatever and also host a cancer survivors group at the hospital where she went. She is home now and has been for the past two years. I flew from California to North Carolina back then thinking I was going to a funeral but she's still doing good. God bless you.
