Lifes lemons. PART DEUX

[Rob Canadian]

As you may have read from my other thread on my divorce things went well and was happy with the outcome of it...

I have had this ear ache for some time now and it got worse over the last 2 months. Started back in Jan of this year. I have seen doctors and got everything from mid ear infection to a blocked saliva duct. Only on my right side. Tons of meds. 2 rounds of blood work and everything was spot on. Was told to see a Oral Surgen. Maybe a impacted tooth? Root Canal?

Pain got worse over the last 3 weeks. I had a appointment with the Oral surgen last Tuesday and a appointment with the ENT specialist on Wednesday.

*grab a beer guys*

I have the "C" word. Oral cancer. I left my work last Thursday on illness leave. Been with the company for 27 years. I am 48 years young and will beat it!!!!

Next step is a bit of surgery and a CT scan to start a baseline. After that. Radiation and most likely Chemo. I have a bit of a bumpy road ahead of me. As far as $$$. Well we will see. I have good coverage and sickness insurance on my house.

I am 110% positive about this whole thing and in good spirits. Things are going to happen fast. Just waiting for the calls to come in for surgery and CT scan. Within a week. I have a great family and friends to rely on. My girlfriend of 4 1/2 years is the BEST!!! Honestly I am very greatful. I am taking this to seriously but I will crack some jokes. Being positive is the best medicine.

My brother said lets go to the cottage for the weekend. Bro time. Loaded up the XL250R (which is going to stay at the cottage) and relaxed for the weekend. Left my XR400R at home.



Good to run up the XL this past weekend on the back roads. Thing runs like new.
Thanks for taking the time to read.

Please don't say sorry to hear. This was not my intent at all. Positive thread only here guys. FU Cancer!!!!

Go get some rest and then go kick some cancer azz, the rest of life will figure itself out.

God bless!

Awesome bike you got there! I have a serious addiction to my 84 XL250R. I love your positive outlook on all this. God Bless!

Kick its ass buddy

[keister]

Love your attitude! Love your bike!

I take it you were also born in 1971.
There is a scary, and I mean scary high % of 3-wheeler enthusiasts born in '71.
But that's a thread for another day.

Never rains but it pours. You're being tested to be a warrior when you come out the other end of this. Stay positive! Like El said, do what you need to now and let the rest of the cards fall where they will later.

Pre OP was done on Friday. Took off to the cottage again and took my XR400 up with me. My brother and me had a great time riding. I had to do a bunch of paperwork and prepare for the worse. Geeze I am worth more dead than alive. Joking but true. I called it "Plan Z"... Not that I hope to be down that road but prepared. I had the talk with my family and we are all on the same page.

Still going with "Plan A". Kick it's ass and heal up and get back to a normal life and live it!!!!

Surgery is tomorrow. After that see what the doctors say. Baby steps.
