Health Issue
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2024 3:53 pmWanted let everyone know why I have been absent from the forums for a while.
Last summer I started have head pain and after going to Dentist 3 times, a Medical Doctor 2 times and finally getting referred to an ENT Specialist I was diagnosed with stage 3 neck cancer. It had attach from the back of my tongue to my left jaw and down the left side of my chin. ENT said it was inoperable due high mortality rate due to so many vital items in your neck area. Late last year I went through 8 weeks of 2 different kinds of chemo each week and 7 weeks of radiation 5 days a week to my neck. That ended December 28 2023. Shortly afterwards I was in the hospital 8 days due to the treatments ravaging my body. I'm not a big guy but lost 72 pounds and went down to 93 pounds. Currently I am now bedridden and on a 24 hour feeding tube at home and will be for weeks to come. While I will eventually get better, doctors say it will be 8-9 months for me to be back to normal self.
With that said I did a lot of work last year on the mod while I didn't feel great so many things were pre-done. There will be a DDSCB24 College Mod this year and I believe all will be done on time if not, very, very close.
A few people at the forums knew I was having health issues so I just wanted to get it out there so everyone understands why I have been unresponsive and everyone understands my condition at this time.
