This is my last post folks unless I get more cancer in the future, but that's not happening. I went in for a colonoscopy a few weeks ago and the results were negative for any other cancer in my intestines. Now granted the tumor I had was at the end of that tract right before daylight, if I may be so bold, so I didn't expect the doctor to find anything. He didn't. He said there was a small polyp, but it wasn't cancerous and he said "See ya in 3 years!" So with that news I think it's a good time to close the book on this journey of mine through the treatment, surgery and recovery. My wife was totally supportive. She is one hell of a woman. My Mom was totally there for me too. She even created the undercover for me to wear! I still wear it! I am feeling pretty damn good too by the way! Guess I had a good team working on me there at Integris Medical Center! My surgeon Dr. John Carrey was the shit! He was a nice guy, good disposition. I was cracking jokes through the whole process with him and he talked straight with me. I think that helped alot. My oncologist, Dr. Janbay jumped right on the tumor when it was found and prescribed a treatment plan that worked! I was lucky though. Now granted my attitude probably helped a little, but I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for those two. So even though they will never see this blog I want to give them a big THANKS!! I should thank their parents for putting them through school! I am back playing guitar too! Just had my first show with BLACK JUNE REVIVAL the other night. Man it felt soooo good to be up on a stage tearing it up! It had been well over a year since I had played for people and it was badass! Everytime I felt myself standing still too long I would remember what I went through and it would motivate me that much more! Getting close to cashing that final life check can do that for ya! Need motivation? Get cancer people! it will change the way you look at life. For real. So I bid all of you a bittersweet farewell! Thanks for keeping up with my ramblings! if you have any questions, know anyone going through this shit and need someone that "keeps it real" to talk to hook them up with this blog and have them get in touch with me! My email is garyleebecker@yahoo.com. Find me at facebook too under the same name if you need to! That's all folks! i am outta here! Take care! Asta la vista Baby! Ciao! Adios! And don't forget my mantra....say it with me...FUCK YOU CANCER! Peace!
