Sucky News Today so post pictures

Hey all, two days before my departure for Utah for Elk and Mule Deer I got some bad news. The cancer bug bit me and I have to head home for some surgery. Looks like it is something they can get rid of pretty easily. Just a kidney. Guess that is why god gave us two of them. Not looking for sympathy because there are plenty of people in worse shape than me but I am missing both the Utah and Washington elk seasons. That sucks so post some pics guys! I want to see cows, bulls, bucks and any other critter you can put an arrow in.
Everyone out there have a great season, enjoy it to the fullest and bring home some memories.
By the way I wouldn't say no to any prayers you can send the man up stairs. I was a pretty bad boy during my active duty days and could use all the help I can get.

Hoping for a full recovery brother

You'll be fine brother. Today's treatment for such things is absolutely amazing. I went thru a bout of the "C" quite a few years ago it came out fine. I currently work with a Warrant Officer and a DoD Civilian that both went thru their different kinds of issues over the past 6 months and both are now fine. Get yourself fixed up, do the follow on stuff, and you'll really enjoy next year and have a new reverence for the elk woods. Best of luck mister and keep us in the loop on how things are going. RJ

Sorry about your news. Looks like we'll both be missing big game this year, for me the first time in 50 years. I feel your pain. I hope they get it all and you're done with it. Keep us posted.

Prayers for sure. Early detection is key. I am sorry you have to miss these hunts but glad you are going to get this taken care of. The hunts in front of you will be even better and I am sure you will appreciate them even more.
Good luck in the fight ahead, a positive attitude is a big part of it. I think both lines in my signature apply.

I was diagnosed with kidney cancer for my 40th birthday. Took out my kidney no radiation or chemo and now I'm 8 years clean. Hoping for a speedy recovery and the key is walking as soon as they let you. Heck youll probably be back in the woods by October.

Everyone, thanks so much for the words of encouragement and support. This has been really difficult to deal with for the last few days. I am just about done with 4 months on travel in San Diego and am all alone. The phone is great but not having a loved one with you is really difficult. Finally yesterday the Doc told me to relax and I am not going to die. Great news but I didn't exactly react in a manly manner and not ashamed of saying so. That being said I knew I could count on all the fine people in the forum for support. You guys rock.
Missing the season this year but like many said, getting this done will give me many more. By the way I figured it out because of a kidney stone. I think I am the only guy that ever thanked God for a kidney stone. Well worth the pain.
I will off line for the next few days driving home but will post a status as soon as I can. Just give me those pics of some good animals and that will be good enough.
Thanks again and good luck in the woods.
