My worse most closly guarded secret........................
Every one has secrets. Some are really bad and some are embarrassing. Some are things that we would think would scare people away if they knew about us. I have so many secrets that I hold inside myself for many reasons.
I have decided to let one out to make me feel better and to see who stays and who runs from me.
I worked for many years as a fire fighter and enjoyed every moment. The down side to an old smoke eater like me is the damage that all that exposure had on my body. I over came the broken bones, the burns, the torn muscles, the aches and pains and accepted them as part of the job. I knew from the start that my life would be shortened by the life I chose.
Now I am done with that and facing the results of my many exploits. I have, to date, five different forms of cancer in and on my body. I have other problems but they are slower acting/progressing so they don’t count as much. On June 13, 2011 I get to have them try to remove my prostate and any cancer around it. After a month or two for recovery I will go back in to have other doctor’s try to remove the cancer in my mouth. The other two cancers are very slowly growing and are not curable.
Now, at this point, you may be asking yourself why Tom is telling anyone about this. No it is not for sympathy as I chose the life. It is just to let you know that my time is limited on this stop along the circle of life. I treasure true friends and family above all others in this life. Those that feel the same will stay and be my friend and the others will leave. Your choice and I hold no hard feeling regardless.
I do choose to be who I have always been and will not change. None of the doctors will give me a time frame which is OK with me. If we are meant to be friends then we will continue and I will answer any questions you may have. If your chose is to move on and away then I wish for you only the best in your future.
What else to say? Nothing comes to mind right now. Love and hugs to all. Tom
