Hi guys!! It's been a while.
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 2:57 AM

what up gang!!

I've been pretty busy dealing with my cancer treatments lately.   It's been a long tough fight but it isn't gonna get the best of me.  I had my radiation treatment a week ago. Haven't heared my results yet but I 'm hopeing that it killed it all.    Should hear from my doc soon and I'll keep y'all posted.

On a happier note, I selibrated my 33rd birthday yesterday (July,18)  Time sure does pass by in a hurry.     I haven't had much time to work on my Trump CH-47A and D hook kits lately becouse of my illness but I thank I'm about to win this fight finally and then I can get back to work on them soon.

Just wanted to check in with you and update you with my situation.

Thanks for the well wishes.

Mark,

Keep your head up, fight it and fight it hard!  There's a lot of new treatments out there.  Do what ya gotta do.  I'm fighting with my wifes fight so I understand.   You need that distraction so bob in now and then.  There's nothing wrong with that.  I've been gone for a while myself taking care of the wife so from time to time I bob in too.
My prayers are with you.  God be with you.  Fight, fight, fight!

John

My doc says that I should still check with him now and then to make sure that I doesn't return.    Gosh!!  What a huge relief!!!  

Thanks for all of your support in this scary time of my life.

John, Hang in there man. Give your wife my best. I keep you both in my prayers.

Mark,

That's awsome!  You don't get off that easy though.  You'll still be in my prayers.  And thank you! The more prayers the better.

God bless

Hi Mark,

    That is FANTASTIC news my man!! Thumbs Up [tup]

    But as the others have said, regular check-ups from here on out will be the key!      And also as some of the others have said, we'll be expecting to see some results from your work-bench now! Big Smile [:D]

    Take good care my friend, and may God richly bless you! Smile [:)]

Hi gang!!

You can be sure that I will be watching this thing with sharp eyes.  

I've got a lot of progress on my Hooks that I must make up.  Can't wait to get started on them.    I see that Cobra co. has a CH-47A resin set out now. Gotta get me some of those.     Becouse of my Illness I didn't get as far as getting the fuselage haves together so now my detales can be even better now.   I was hopeing that there would be the troop seats included in Cobras kit but it looks like it doesn't have them.     Maybe later.   Hope they will soon release a Delta set and a MH-47E/G converison set.

I feal great now and I look forword to getting back in the swing of things once again.     I'll do my best to post pix of my work on here if I can get the hang of it.  I haven't been able to figure it out so for.
