On top of all that, they discovered that I have traces of Leukemia and will have to begin chemo-therapy which rules out any chance of going on the Kidney transplant list. Major bummer!

All of this happened on my birthday, so much for that being my lucky day! Looks like I may be selling the scoot.

I feel your pain TK.

Bummer for sure, we really hate to hear this Jim! Not much anyone can say that will cover this but stay strong and stay in the fight. Life's a long and winding road and sometimes we are running against the wind. Stay positive and don't give up hope! We will keep you in our thoughts and in our prayers.

Jim:
What a bummer. You are also in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong and keep up the faith. I probably wouldn't be in any hurry to sell the TG, who knows what will happen.

Coupe's right,

Mike, +1 on the "kick ***"!
Those that have followed my post for a while have probably discerned that I’m feisty type guy and will not go down with out one hell of a fight.

Trying to keep a positive mental attitude, I look for the silver lining in the dark cloud. The silver lining is that I received a heart transplant 4 years ago; if they would have discovered the Leukemia at that time, they never would have given me the new heart and would have lost these past 4 years.

Thanks for all of the good wished!
Jim

There is no doubt in my mind that you are a very feisty type of guy and that you will not go down without one hell of a fight.
