Chris' Cancer Causing Construction

[rdnelson]

Not a ton to see but go to the build thread and there is a video of me testing it. Search "Rich's DIY ATO and a bunch of other letters".

Hey Chris that is really great! Every guy needs to get checked. I have had my bouts with my prostate. It started when I was around 24 or 25. I was in the Air Force and was told time and time again that I was too young. Finally after talking to an older Reservist who had the same problems I was able to get the old wave (after I questioned why I pushed so hard to get it lol.) and they caught the problem early. Hope to run into you one day. The best for you and your family.

My wife started less than a month after my daughter was born with ovarian cancer about a year later with breast cancer then bladder cancer. I lost my mom when she was barely 46 and on her 3rd round with breast cancer; my grand mother (mom's mom) earlier this year, my other grand mother, an uncle, an aunt plus a few more great's. Trust me when I say there's not much I haven't seen when it comes to cancer. I've shaved my share of heads due to chemo.

For the first year or two after my wife was fist diagnosed I did everything I could to keep things going. She went behind my back accepting donations from both our Church and family. She did this behind my back b/c she knew I've got the ego (and attitude) that I will take are of everything. I could have probably done it but to honest what my wife did certainly allowed me a little sanity at the time.

It took me quite a while to understand that accepting this even behind my back wasn't charity. It was other people repaying what others had done for them. Allow me and I'm sure other's on ARC to repay what others have done for us. Down the road after things settle down you can do the same! What comes around goes around...

Edit: I also meant to mention... My wife's is now 7 years cancer free!

Very well said and so true. I especially like the last part. .

My Sister was stage 4 Breast Cancer and is now at 6 years cancer free. It CAN be beat.

Alright, I'm starting to gain some strength back from my final long week which I finished on 9/20 (35 hrs of chemo over 5 days = BRUTAL). I have one more small infusion tomorrow and I will be done with chemo. I hope to start getting my hands dirty this week so be looking for updates.

Thanks again to mysterybox and H2OEng for their awesome donations! That was the coolest thing ever!!

Here is a picture of my wife and I on the last long day. She threatened to kill me if I didn't smile!

That sounds rough man! I'm glad you're feeling better. I have to say you're making me feel lazy coming back from that and ready to get started and I've just been putting mine off. Lol.

I'm about to find your build thread and read through it again

Edit: I thought I remembered seeing a build thread somewhere. Am I mistaken?

Chris....congrats!! It's been 28 years since I did my chemo for testicular cancer and I still remember it very well. This is a MAJOR milestone in your life. I can recommend one thing....don't look back...EVER! Just keep on running forward and it will all be a-ok.

No, nothing yet. I might have started one years ago that never got off the ground.

I don't have anything to offer really but I can offer you something from my tank free of charge... also if you would like I can come do your aquascape as I've been told by multiple members that I have a knack for it....
