This isn't good news - Page 2

**Bugeater** · 09:14 PM

Anyone who has been paying attention over the last month and a half may have heard me mention about the pain I've been suffering in my neck and shoulders. Originally the Drs diagnosed it as a pinched nerve in a disc in my neck.

Well last week the pain got worse so they wanted me to go in for an MRI, and I did. The results came in last Friday, and they told me they wanted me to see a different Dr, but it had gotten late so I didn't get all the information about him. Well...this morning I did...he's an oncologist. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a doctor who treats cancer patients.

I don't know what this means, but I've never been more scared in my life. My wife is freaking out, she lost her father to cancer 10 years ago. I will keep you all posted as I find more out.

**UPDATE IN POST #50**

EDIT: OK, there seems to be some confusion (understandably) with who I am. I'm not the former "go bo" who is now "go bowe". I used to be Bugeater, but I changed my name to GoBo yesterday when Bo Pelini was hired as the new head coach of Nebraska. Yes, the timing was horrible.

GoBo,

I had a family member with cancer, and they took this approach...

http://www.naturallydirect.net/alkal...al-healing.htm

by eating and drinking ONLY alkaline foods, it balances the acids in the body, and flushed out the cancerous growths.

It worked for her... may be something worth looking into.

God speed.

Thoughts are with ya.

May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ pour out his mercies upon your family in this difficult time. May his love and presence be your source of strength and wisdom, and may his Divine sovereignty bring you peace that passes all understanding.

You are in my prayers,
KCJ

Heh, I probably did say that more than once this year.

I do appreciate all of the well wishes, hopefully this turns out to be nothing and I end up feeling like an idiot for starting this thread.

**DaFace** · 12-03-2007, 10:23 AM

Good luck to ya man. Keep us posted on what you find out.

**luv** · 12-03-2007, 10:34 AM

Oh my. When do you go see the new doc? I'll definitely be thinking about you. Best wishes.

When did you change your name? And why?

JohninGpt · 12-03-2007, 10:36 AM

Good luck GoBugeater, hopefully it's something they can take care of easily. Medicine has come a long way in the last few years.

**Mr. Kotter** · 12-03-2007, 10:39 AM

Wow. Sorry to hear about this. Thoughts and prayers are headed your way, John. Stay positive.

My appointment is at 11:30. In fact, I'd better get my ass off the computer and get ready.

The name change was yesterday, it has to do with Nebraska's new head coach, Bo Pelini.

Well, I'm sending some good thoughts your way. Hope all is well.

Don't freak out yet. My wife recently had a "scare" only to find out it was nothing.

Good luck to you.
