guess whos back...

[nick]

hopefully Ill stay longer this time around work has slowed a bit so I wont have to work 45+ hours aweek which will give me some free time.

I would like to stay and help people who need questions answered. Although, I didn't really pay attention to all the medical mumbojumbo when i went through it, im sure I can pick it up easy.


But, hi to all the older(not an age joke..i swear ) people I know, and thanks scott for bringing me back here.

Nick,
Welcome back and glad you're close to 4 years of all clears!! Us old people (and yes, that is refering to age ) could use a guy diagnosed at 16 to get these young guys to tell their parents and get to a doctor. Hope you stick around !

thanks karen, im glad to be back.

I'll try to help as much as I can, like always,"its easier said than done."

It takes alot to talk to your parents about a subject so different..so you can't be to hard on them...hopefully I can get the point across that they have nothing to worry about.

youngin,
It does seem very difficult...I think more for young guys than young girls. I try not to be hard on them but after 2-3 months of them being terrified of cancer and of telling thier parents somethings gotta give. You personal experiences may inspire them get the courage to do this and save a life. Besides, you youngins never listen to us old folk.

Welcome back, Nick!

Sincerely,
Someone who suddenly feels pretty old
