Good to hear that you're closing 2015 out on a good note, Gramps. I hope 2016 will have even more good news.

I had planned on waiting until mid January to make this post but thought I would go ahead and post before the year was over.

2015 has been the most nerve racking year of my life. The first half of the year was filled with with many highs and lows from a mental perspective.

I was told in the 2nd week of January 2015 that I have cancer and had maybe 6- 8 months to live. I think that is something no one can comprehend unless they are told this personally.

I started this thread at a very low point and did not plan to ever post on here again. Granny and I sat down and decided to get a second opinion then a third. I think we decided to go with a great oncologist with a fantastic support team.

Needless to say but it has been over 11 months and the ole man is still kicking and doing much better. I visited my oncologist last month and was told my tumor has shrunk about a third.

I of course am no longer attempting to work, sold my little business and sit home , read and study my Bible and play on Volnation. Over the years I have come to feel some of you guys are good friends that I only know through VN. I thank each and everyone of you for the support, kind words and prayers you have given me this year. I still have cancer but with the help of God I plan on beating this. Eleven months ago my hope of living was gone.

I don't know how much longer I have to live nor does anyone but I want to thank you all for putting up with me. May God bless you and your families. If you don't know God, I pray you meet him and let him into your life. It does make life easier, especially in trying times. It is also good to know when this life is over I am trading my little house for a mansion in heaven.

Keep me and Granny in your prayers, please.


Go Vols.

Bravo Gramps. You've often been in my prayers and I hope that the darkest of days have passed.

I need you around to pick on me from time to time :hi:
