Take care I had a tumor on my kidney two years ago so know what you, and your wife are going through with Cancer. Prayers ant thoughts with all of you.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

Ice,
Great to hear from you.  As always, I've got prayers raised for you, your wife and kids.  You are amazing at how this is going.  Great role model for your son and daughter.  Keep kicking this thing's butt.  We are all pulling for this to be one big dream.

Cheers.

I do need a favor of some special person here. My dad booked one of those cool houseboats on Lake Roosevelt for 5 days in July. I will be asking for someone with knowledge of the lake to throw some tips my way as to what kind of fishing I can get on in July there. Stay tuned for that request. If this special person is you, please PM me!!! :)


So where are you boarding this houseboat?  2 rivers or in Kettle?

Thanks for checking in Ice!  I can't help you on lake Roosevelt but wish you the best and thank you for helping us keep all we have in perspective. 

Blessings!

Awesome to hear from you and glad your wife's tumor is unlikely to return.  I have a good friend currently going through treatment.  He has colon cancer.  He's bummed because he put off his colonoscopy until he was 55.  Had he done it at 50 like recommended he would have just had to have the polyp removed.

Anyway, as usual, it will be nice to check back in with many of you and see what all you have been up to.

From Tenino, greetings! I will be spending a tiny bit of time re-visiting all of you.

Kevin.

I'm just having a merry ol time here Ice. I have THREE new compression fractures in my back now for a total of 5 compression fractures. I was wondering why my back was hurting more and the pain killers weren't working so well any more.

I just bought two bicycles for my granddaughters. One is 5 and the other is 2. But... you have to treat them equally and love them like they are both the most special person in the world. And that can have it's moments because of the sibling rivalries. Such is the life of a Grandpa eh?  :chuckle:

Well it was about 25 years ago that I had a friend take a vacation on Lk Roosevelt. It was some kind of house boat. It sounded very nice from what I remember. When they started to fish they brought in bucket loads of perch. Over all it was the quality time every body had with each other.

Well like I said that was about 25 years ago. I do remember the excitement in my friends voices. And the body language as they described the fish they hauled in. I do know the fish were not trout or salmon. It really seems like they hauled in perch.

I have forgotten about that. Once upon a time I thought that would be a wonderful vacation to take the family too. Have a wonderful time. And you don't have to scale the perch yourself. I think there is a bait boy on board. I hate it when those spines impale my fingers. It never fails. My fingers are harpooned like Moby Dick when I'm done.  :chuckle:

Kevin,

I've always enjoyed your posts and family priority, hard to believe your little kids are in college (mine is too).  Glad also that the WSP is treating you well. 

I don't have any secrets to share about Roosevelt.  I do have a friend who fishes the lower reservoir in July with his son, casting to shore with curlytail jigs and catching smallmouth until they are sick of it (100-150 fish days he claims, but you know fishermen...).  Black and brown are the go-to colors he says. 

Wishing good outcomes for both you and your wife.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Checking in again. Many months have passed. All sorts of crap to fight.

I exhausted all regular cancer chemotherapy for this cancer.

I was referred for consideration into another cancer trial drug study. I made it into this drug study with an exact genomic (spelling?) match. This study is being administered by MD Anderson cancer study Houston Texas. This is the good news.

The bad news is the cancer continued to spread in the mean time into my spine. I am receiving radiation at this time for this one with extreme pain at the spine and back. Taking the trial drug from Texas to attack the original cancer.  So much fun.

I am a shadow of the man I used to be. Have lost around 155lbs to date.

I am usually totally exhausted .

More tomorrow. Need to sleep. Kevin.
