Here is something I can't understand.
Mind you, I have had family members die from cancer, TB and AIDS....
If the tumor has been removed why is there a need for chemo and radiation?
A long time friend died two years ago from cancer. His docs told him it would kill or cure...
Hang in there and best wishes!

Because it's not surgically curable. All glioblastoma multiforme are stage IV. It's a horrible cancer.
Mike, I don't know you but you mentioning that you have daughters touched a nerve. I have a daughter too. She'll get an extra goodnight hug tonight.

I don't know you but you seem very positive. My best friend has the big ugly c word. They gave him 1 year to live 3 years ago. He's also very positive. Hang in there I'll send some prayers your way !!!

It's not so much the length of the journey as what you did along the way. I hope you have a few thousand miles to go, but keep your attitude and make the most of what time you have. Faced with adversity, you can fight or wait to die. And fight can mean simply living your best life without fear or regrets. Positive thoughts and energy.

Mike, I am new here and don't know any other members yet to speak of. But I am feeling like I am starting to fit in. I hope I get to know you as time goes on, all your friends here love you very much, that is quite obvious. One of my fellow riders just had a bout with the bif C for the third time. We did not think he would make it through this one, but he has. You can too. Hang in there, you can do it too.

Not meaning to be off topic, especially with this one, but right here is what makes this board and community so great.

If Niagara Falls or the western terminus of the Eire Canal are on your list I'll gladly serve as tour glide.
Several years ago my sister was diagnosed with the worst fast moving lymphoma one can get. Given 2 weeks! by the exerts. 5 years later she's alive and well. Never surrender.

To patronise you would be an insult, so a short comment from me.
Your bravery is an inspiration and it cannot be possible to pretend to know what to say.
The price one pays to be fully able to understand what you face is ultimately too great, but I can only hope that when I have to confront my own mortality, that I can draw from your level of stoicism.
If there’s one damn thing that I always draw from posts like these, is that I realise how trivial and trite some of the crap is, that I come out with..
Stand firm mate, your buddies here that know you personally, love you and those like me who do not, admire your guts.
There’s always something we can be reminded of regarding the beauty of life and the value of what really matters.
Good luck mate..
Peter.

Cancer is a weird thing. People can go into remission for know reason known to science so don't allow yourself to fall into a slough of despond. Having said that your attitude is admirable and whatever the outcome it sounds like you are looking the future straight in the eye.

I will raise a glass to your good health tonight!

Thankyou for telling us , there are many here that wont say but we are on your side and you can feel us praying for you to ride to a ripe old age.

Pete Roper said exactly how I feel about your situation. I have had two battles with C this century. I had Hodgkin’s lymphoma stage 2, and recently stage2/3 Testicular C that metastasized into my abdomen. Lots of radiation and chemo, and here I am! Every cancer is different .

I have some very good words for you , fight, fight , fight and then fight some more, enjoy every moment that you have.

Fellas , let's not do this , OK .

Mike knows what he is dealing with , trust me , he is a man with a strong sense of self , he really doesn't need us telling him how to deal with this , and the arguing about it . Do we understand ?

Mike, My wife went to MD Anderson for a rare form of cancer in her neck and they were simply amazing. Best of luck to you.

Fight, yes, but also don't give up.

Best of luck and I hope, best of care for you. If they say you cannot drive a motorcycle, there's always dirt bikes.
