    I am new to the site and happened upon the in memoriam section and decided to read. The passing of your husband is a tragedy, and i ran into similar problems a year ago. While I had been going to my GP with complaints for 2 years, there was little ever said or done about them. Finally, last June I was in so much pain I couldn't even walk any more. A quick digital exam revealed what was later determined to be a fist sized tumor in my colon.

    I was diagnosed with 4th stage colon cancer and told by doctors to get my final affairs in order. It had spread to my lymph nodes and liver. I was fortunate that I survived, and I am currently "cancer free"

    But you are right… if you ever suspect a problem and your doctors don't seem to think it is a big deal, but deep down inside you know it is, seek a second opinion. I am fortunate that I am still here to tell you about this. I only wish that Rick was still here as well.

    My most sincere condolences.

    Donna - thank you you posting. I'm sure it was not easy to write of Rick's death. I'm a member of a few forums, but Lumber Jocks is a special site. Like me, I would guess that your husband found this site (addiction) to be "family.' May God bless you and your family.

    Donna:
    Thank you for posting this sad news. As some one who welcomed Rick to LJ, I was stopping by his profile to remind him that he'd been a Jock for one year. May you find peace and joy; I'm sure Rick has.

    Grace to you and peace. My greatest sympathy for your loss.

    Your advice is so very important. "There is no greater thing one can do for one's self than an annual complete age/sex appropriate physical. Tell'm everything…..then do what they say. If you don't do what they say it is even more important to go back next year. Some of us get a few mulligans."

    Thank you for sharing Rick's obituary. spj

    Thank you Debbie. We appreciate that. I have updated Rick's profile and explained what had happened to him. Still hard to believe … yet, it happens all too frequently.

    WOW What a great welcome!!! The warning of how addictive this site is is too late!!! Sorry to hear you had to go to a compound Tom, but at least you can still enjoy chasing critters around with a sharp stick.
    Thanks one and all!

    Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

    Happy hunting from another old bow hunter! I shot recurves my whole life up till a few years ago. Hurt my right arm and could not hold the higher pound bows any more. Had to go to a compound to keep the poundage where I wanted it. Love bow hunting and wood working as well.

    God Bless

    Welcome to Lumber Jocks! The forums are a great place to get woodworking advice and to give out some wisdom as well. I am always getting new ideas from the project posts and I also find the videos instructive. I hope you find the site as useful as I do.
