Some bad news for my family!!!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

teeitup · 09-30-2003, 06:33 PM

Well I've been having headaches all summer, went to Dr. a few times, finally did a CT Scan of my head Monday, they called today and said there is a spot up up there, now I go back in Thursday morning for a MRI to get a clearer pic of it. I won't know anything till next Tuesday afternoon. We don't know what or how bad it is. They kind of left us hanging and put me on some drugs. Its going to be a long week around here. And Susie is 3 weeks away from having the baby. So if I don't return pm's quick you'll know why. I got everything I got sold boxed up and ready for shipping so once the $$$ gets here I'll get it out as quick as I can. THANKS for your time, alot of you are like family so I'm just letting you know. Randy

STATE OF MIND IS EVERYTHING RANDY!!!!! KEEP YOUR CHIN AND SPIRITS UP!!!!! WE'RE ALL BEHIND YOU.

griesel72 · 09-30-2003, 07:18 PM

Dang Randy,

Hope they find that it is something insignificant, or that they caught it early enough to do something about it. If you need any help with stripping parts, boxing up to ship or anything, don't be afraid to ask. With my wife getting her masters, i have a lot of free time in the evenings and weekends.

Good bless and hope the best for you and your family,

David

Randy- Like everyone said try to keep your chin up and don't worry about peoples parts! Family 1st! Keep yourself healthy and strong for that new little one! God bless you and your family. I will keep you in my prayers!

Hope you stay well physically and mentally. You have alot of things depending on you right now. Susie having the baby, Taz, providing money for the family, but yourself. You have alot of things to worry about, but you have to make time to keep your health in shape. I'm a ways away over in Ca, but if theres anything I can do to help, let me know. Its just a little drive away. Let us know how things are going. I'm thinking about you and the family in Prayers.

ckhd · 09-30-2003, 07:41 PM

Wow. I hope the spot is tiny.

Like others have said, attitude is very important. I know a couple people with full-on big brain tumors, and it seems that the ones with a positive attitude heal faster and respond better to treatment. My ex-boss is one of the most positive people I know, and he had a large growth that he had cut out (it ended up making him deaf in one ear), and he's doing great several years later.

Keep your chin up. If there's anything I can do, let me know.

**jerry moss** · 09-30-2003, 08:24 PM

Randy,
God bless, hope everything works out for the best.

**BIG ORANGE** · 09-30-2003, 08:51 PM

Gee Randy I hate to hear all that,take care of yourself and the Misses and don't worry about us, we will be hear when your better!
You will be in out thoughts and prayers!!!!!!!!

SLS · 09-30-2003, 08:53 PM

I too will be rooting for you, Randy.

Like the others have said: a positive attitude is the best medicine in the world.

I hope the tests come back good and this is but a memory real soon!

**BAD4X4** · 09-30-2003, 08:56 PM

Randy-

Keep your chin up! Modern Medicine can work miracles. My mother-in-law had a brain tumor 19 years ago and she is alive and well today, a few complications of course, but none the less alive to see the world. Keep positive and we'll just hope whatever it is is non cancerous.

You'rein our thoughts and prayers

We'll say some prayers for you just in case. Keep the faith!

We will be praying for you here too. I hope everything turns out alright. WES

If you need anything, give me a ring. Stay positive!

*72longbed* · 09-30-2003, 09:12 PM

Hang in there Randy! Think Positive, Be Positive, Get Strong, and Stay Strong and you will do well. You can beat whatever it is!!

We're here for you!

*rage'nrat638* · 09-30-2003, 09:13 PM

get well soon......
will keep u and yours in my prayers

palallin · 09-30-2003, 10:20 PM

Here, too.

Huck · 09-30-2003, 10:30 PM

A small spot could be a lot of things---most of which are very treatable. Just hang in there till more tests are done.
My "susie" was given 3-4 months 4 years ago. In fact yesterday was the anniversary of her first operation for Liver Cancer.
She is still here driving me nuts. 20 years ago she would have been lost but modern medicine is doing fantastic things. Your headaches were probably caused by guys sending you money without telling you what they wanted!!! Or saying they wanted things, you wrapping them and never receiving the money.(:>)
Hang in there and we will all have you in our prayers.

**Tim Christian** · 09-30-2003, 10:40 PM

Hey Randy, I will put you and your familiy in my prayers. I also want to see the pictures of the little one here in a few weeks.

weasel29gm · 09-30-2003, 10:40 PM

Hang in there Randy, will keep you in mind

gashog · 09-30-2003, 11:29 PM

Take care, I hope all works out well.

Hooter · 10-01-2003, 01:45 AM

jose · 10-01-2003, 02:35 AM

Hang in Randy if the radiologist would have looked closer he would have seen that Cheyenne emblem you was thinking about . You are in our prayers .

chevy_fatman · 10-01-2003, 04:35 AM

Man I hate to hear that Randy, whatever it is being a small spot it should be treatable, as everybody said just stay positive and think about your family and Taylor, they'll keep you going and optimist don't matter how you may feel, I'll keep you in my thoughts and pull for you way over here man.
