Good bye from Chevytech

[ChevyTech]

Some of you may have noticed I am no longer posting on the board.

I have stage 4 cancer that is inoperable. The tumor that got me to the doctor is in my duodenum. I did not even know what that word was. It is the top part of the small intestine where the gall bladder, liver and pancreas mix secretions with the food you eat. Attempts to open the blockage that were planed to last 2 to 3 months, to give time for chemo and planning, failed in 9 days and I had a total blockage. That entire part of my digestive system is bypassed now, to give me time to get my affairs in order. I also have internal and external drainage tubing. Blood clots are the latest problem that has popped up.
My body can’t get much from the food I eat so I have lost weight and am weak and tired.

I have so much I want to do and little time to get it done. I have some good days and some really bad days. I will watch this thread and probably post on it but I won’t be replying to any other threads any more.

I enjoyed posting on the board and I hope some of what I said lives on after me. I did not want to disappear without letting you all know why I stopped posting.

Moderator you can move this to the general discussion area if you think that is where it should be. I posted it here because this is the area I did almost all my posting.

Oh man. I have no words. I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better. I'm sure your legacy here will live on, as it will with your family. Stay close to your loved ones and give them hugs. Prayers to you.

I cried when I read this.

I did not cry when my own father died, but I cried when I read this.

Thank you for posting and putting my day in perspective, and many other's too, I'm sure.

Thank you for your service here, in your insightful technical posts. We will make sure you live on.

Best wishes for your time that remains and beyond.

True legend and full of knowledge. You didn’t have to come on this board and help anyone. But you did and that shows your true character.

You will not be forgotten
