I am so incredibly happy for you and your family! God is good my friend. Thanks abw! You are such a beacon of light on this board, and I mean that with all my heart. No matter what, you are positive and supportive of everyone....even those who don't WANT to can't resist your good vibes.

I'm just so pleased that one as unworthy as me has been used as a miracle to show the strength of prayer and the Glory of our Lord! And yes, we are smiling so big knowing that God is not finished with me....OH, what a feeling!!! See, it's this. This is a hope-dealing situation. This is what the seeking (or even non) world stands back to watch...how do believers respond...for the long haul...when crisis strikes? You have made no secret of the Source of your strength. Everyone's journey is different...my dad wasn't healed this side of Heaven...but when you live with an eternal perspective, as you clearly do, and can accept the outcome no matter what, others gain strength, hope, and store away tools for the toolkit when crises of all sizes and temperaments strike. You HAVE brought Him glory with your faithfulness. You have brought US perspective with your updates. You have brought us JOY with the opportunity to stand with you in this fight. You aren't heavy...you're our brother. No matter what comes for any of us, there is strength to be found from keyboard to keyboard when you are AUFamily. Love you, Nathan! And Sonya! And the girls!

Hey Brother. Thank you for the continued good news and support. Though you're right...the neuropathy doesn't seem to be going anywhere, LOL! (Not sure why I'm laughing about that though 🤔).

It's been one of my mantras, so to speak, that's helped keep me positive is the knowledge that at least it's me and not my wife or girls. My wife has been the brave one!

I'm pretty much already there as far as my feet. Away from home, I walk with a cane because after 15 mins or more of walking, I almost literally cannot feel my toes. After 30 mins instead of numb, it feels like I'm walking on broken bones they hurt so bad. Then, yes, at bedtime I wrap them up in a blanket trying to warm them (which is hit or miss). That doesn't even take my fingers into account. But it's a small price to pay for healing IMO. As long as my future scans remain cancer free, then what do I have to complain about?

AUMASTERS 555 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 72, So glad to see this Great news; I have been praying for you daily, and will continue to. As others have said God is so good; while my wife lost her battle to cancer in February at the age of 56, God gave us 20 more years together after she was 1st diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. One thing is certain that she is in a better place today than we are. Keep the faith brother, I Love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so glad to hear y'all are people of faith though and trust The Lord's plan. There is such a joy in that. 🙏 Truthfully, if I get 20 years, I cannot complain one bit! My family doesn't have much of a history of cancer, which is why this was even more shocking, but my Granny (Dad's Mom) was diagnosed with lung cancer and wasn't supposed to be around to see me born.....I was her first grandchild and she didn't pass away until I was around 20 and she had 4 other grandkids!!

They are the best, and you are also correct young man when you say God is Good! Following your journey as you have walked this path that I, along with others, have trod, there is one common thread throughout. That thread is, "God is Good!" You, my unknown friend, along with countless others, are indeed blessed. We have a responsibility to do as you are doing and spread the Word!

Sorry for "bumping" this thread but I didn't want to derail another football thread since the season's getting so close. However, as many of you know I had completed 7 weeks (5 days a week) of radiation a few weeks ago after having had roughly 8 months of hard-core chemo before that in order to fight a VERY rare and VERY aggressive malignant colorectal cancer that had spread to my liver & lymph nodes. I'm not sure if I ever shared this but we were told that one of my specific cancers (of the 4 I have...ugh) is so rare and deadly that only 70 cases have ever been studied over the last several decades and 70% were gone in less than 1 year from diagnosis....the other 30% never made it to year 2. The Lord has used me for HIS miracle! ....today we got the news we have been praying for.... NO SIGN OF CANCER!!!!! I temper the news with the knowledge that by my being Stage 4, the cancer is in my bloodstream, so I'll never be "cured" according to the Drs but my organs are at least a blank slate again. Praise Jesus Christ, our Lord & Savior!!! Thankfully and prayerfully, I am blessed that He has more purpose for me and I get, hopefully, many many many more years to be here for my family, watch my girls grow up, and I can bless y'all with my genius Auburn Football insight and legendary wit for a while longer. Sincere thanks to all of you who have prayed for me, supported me, sent well wishes my way. Y'all have even brought me to tears on many occassions with sharing your own stories and I've seen the absolute BEST of our AUFamily. I'm so blessed and I love you all! God bless & War Eagle!!!!! @AUsince72, that his AUsome news!!!!! Rejoicing and praising our Lord with you my brother!!!!! This is the best post I've read in a long time!!!

doverstutts 1,643 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 oh, 72, one more thing!...i may or may not have told you, i can't remember, but have a yearly PROSTATE SCREENING due to the radiation you took....5 years after C/R cancer, i had prostate cancer due to the radiation treatment that i took.....the symptoms are not as obvious because of the damage to the nerves in the area, and as a matter of fact, i had no symptoms at all....the urologist that did the surgery said that i had massive damage to the area and he had no doubt that radiation caused the prostate cancer....the treatment is awful, but what do we do?
