I'm posting this here as they have been active in this forum and i'd like to get out their message:

Chris I was going to post and let the board know what has been going on with my health since we all got back from NAIAS in January but was not sure which thread would be best to use. It was good to meet you in Detroit this year.

I have been having things happen to me they could not for over a year now find out why or a cause. Two weeks ago I started having pain in my right side rib cage to go along with pain I have had in my left shoulder for about 2 years. Last week I went to the hospital and spent 5 days there and they found the trouble this time. It was not good news for Cindy and I, they said I had stage 4 lung cancer and a 45% chance even with chemo of living another year. Long short of it is I guess I will not see a new vert sitting in my drive. If you would like to post something letting everyone know it would be great. I am going to try and go to all the events I can this summer as long as I feel I can to see old friends and some I only know from the net.
I start chemo next Tuesday to try and slow it down some so I will keep everyone posted on how it gets.

Damn........

Willard & Cindy,

More than anything else....do what you can to make this period in your life be as enjoyable and non-regrettable as possible.

Best wishes and be strong,

Sorry to hear that. Don't know what to say other than you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

Wow that's very sad.

 

Here's praying for effective treatment and a speedy recovery.

 

Don't give up hope! Prayers for strength and a full recovery

 

My thoughts and prayers are with you both

 

So sorry to hear. With God's help, you can beat this. My prayers are with you and your wife.

 

My prayers are with you on a successful recovery. Fight it, don't quit!

Take note folks on how quickly your life can change - whether its for better or unfortunately worse.

 

stay positive and stay strong

 

Prayers are with you and the family.

Keep a positive attitude, all things are possible.

 

I agree with others who said don't give up hope. A friend of my mom's was diagnosed with lung cancer and they gave her less than a year. 3 years later she is still alive and kickin and there is no sign of cancer. My prayers are with Mike and Cindy. I know it is difficult but try to think positive thoughts - PICTURE yourself beating the cancer every day. It may seem silly but the mind has a lot of power in its arsenal. Just my 2 cents.

 

Come on Settlemire...let the man go for a ride!

 

Praying for you guys! I wish you the best. Stay positive and keep fighting!!! My grandma had been undergoing chemo and finished up treatment a few months ago. She just turned 78 this past Sunday and is doing well. Hopefully that can be a helpful example of fighting it! I hope you can do the same! And Settlemire, I second giving him a ride in the concept Camaro!!!

 

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Try to stay positive, fight it, you can beat it, you WILL see that new vert in your driveway someday. Another vote for a ride in the concept.
