Default I've missed Subsim

Hello everybody,

Just wanted to stop in and tell you where I've been lately.

I've been having some stomach problems and last weekend it became so bad that I admitted myself into the emergency room on saturday the 26th (my birthday) . I've been in the hospital this entire time since I had surgery on monday which led to the discovery of level 4 colon cancer.

I finally got out of ICU on Friday afternoon and am currently trying to get better and determine how and who will treat me for the cancer.

I've missed coming here and playing my favorite games so hopefully in the not so distant future, I'll be able to get back into the action.

Take care my fellow gamers.

Fred

Hey Fred,

I'm praying for you here.

Like Hitman said, laughing and keeping in good spirits works miracles as much as anything.

Hang in there Fred ... we love you, plus you could help us to stop ignoring the problem and get checked (over 35 I think) too.

Would you contribute to us by helping us men understand the importance of detection?

Post away on anything that helps us ... were here for you

In this day and age, most problems can be fixed, especially if you detect early. Don't wait and learn the hard way like me. Noone is invisible. Don't wait until you have pain like me.

Thanks again everybody.
