Thanks all, dig all the comments. Real cool to have the support.

When i was a kid my grandfather owned a CB. He had an antenna in our side yard that was 50 feet tall, and he would pick up signals from Asia. Anyways he would spend hours talking to people from all over. In a way his hobby was ahead of the curve, in that it's very similar to these internet social forums.

Anyways it's always been nice to meet people you never would have met otherwise, or come across ideas you would have never have thought, and receive support in sentiment in this way. It's really kinda cool when ya think about it...

Anyways, had a good ride today with some good pals. And now it's time to move forward.:)

GO! SEAHAWKS!
We stopped by and saw Timmy Saturday afternoon. He was doing good, the surgery went well, positive about the future.

He'll know more next week, Thursday I think, after they test the growth.

Hey monkies thanks for all the good vibes.

Great news, the Cancer was a Seminoma, all the tests came back negative. i'll be getting radiation blasts to make sure i'm free of any microscopic cells missed by the CTscan. Then stay monitored with more CT scans as time goes by.

So my recovery chances are as good as you can get.

You know sometimes when people say they would trade their left nut for a "...". Well i never thought the day would come around where i would have to seriously consider it. But when it comes to LIFE, hell yah, i cashed in, and did the deal.

i first felt this from going down a sandy fall line downhill trail on my XC bike. Some guys had crashed in front of me and i was stalling a bit trying not to endo. My junk hit the saddle a bit hard and that's when i first started feeling the pain. After a while i noticed how bigger it seemed, and after a few weeks it started to feel better but it seemed like it wasn't decreasing in size, but only growing.

This type of Cancer commonly happens in men in the age of 15 to 35, but i'm 38 and it's known to happen in younger males too. Just so you guys know whatsup, Cancer ain't no joke.

See ya on the trails.:)

Best wishes, seen a couple people go through this and come out the other side, so stay strong.

For the radiation, all I can say is remember to ****ing eat! It's going to seem like a bad idea, but do it anyway.

Yah i'm probably going to have train myself not to make the same mistake. While i'm glad i still have one left, if i had lost both of them, it would have been cool to film footage of people kicking me in the junk and me being absolutely unphased. The ole Iron Egg...

I have no idea where I am
A friend told a similar story at a party one night. He had to have one of his little buddies removed and he was given the option of have a prosthetic implant. He said the doctors offered a choice of shapes, natural oval, round, square or pyramid.

I think you could have some fun with an unexpecting date with the square or pyramid one.


Best of Luck to you Skooks.
