I spent last Wednesday through Saturday in the hospital. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer that has spread to my liver and lymph nodes, so I will probably be spending a lot more time in and out of the hospital for the next few months if I live that long. I won't have the energy or time to process the orders for the game anytime soon.

I am sorry to hear about your condition and wish you the best in your treatments.
Not sure what else to say. I appreciate you putting in the energy to run the game thus far and hope that you are in a place to continue with it in the future.

Thought I'd give you all an update. I start chemo Tuesday (the 12th). This initial series will be every other week for 6 months and if the tumor in my colon shrinks enough they'll give me a break around Thanksgiving/Christmas to remove it and the 3 affected lymph nodes. They'll never be able to operate on my liver though, so I'll be on and off chemo the rest of my life however long or short that may be.

If you’re reading this, then I must be dead. I have ceased to exist.
As many of you know, I went to the ER on my birthday last year and was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer. Back when it happened in April 2015, the doctors were pretty sure I had only days to live. Thanks to modern medicine, support from family and friends and me not calling it quits, it’s been over a year since then. It’s been a rough year, with chemo and almost constant abdominal and stomach pains, vomiting, dizziness and feeling tired all the time. My doctor says that the cancer has spread to my brain, my lungs and my liver and that my diagnosis now is terminal. They stopped the chemo and my liver is basically failing. I’m already starting to forget things and I don’t know how much longer I have while I’m writing this. It’s difficult for me to complete thoughts and ideas.
It’s been a good year too. I’ve been able to spend time with Fi and my family and my friends. We had a few more adventures and I have been given a chance to tie up loose ends and touch base with people I haven’t seen or spoken to in a long time. Every day since that birthday when I thought I was going to die have been special gifts.
Don’t feel sorry for me, I’ve lived a good life. I have travelled all over the United States and the world. I have a lot of friends and family and an amazing daughter. I’ve loved and been loved.
There are a lot of things I’ll never get to see, some I wish I could, like Fiona graduating from high school and going to college, some I’m glad I won’t have to see, like this coming presidential election. I was hoping to make it long enough to see the Doctor Strange movie this November and my 50th birthday next April but it doesn’t look like that will happen.
Live life - That’s what it’s all about.
Peace, I’m outta here
