Ok, soooooo....

[DapperButch]

I haven't posted on this because I am not an attention whore when it comes to this type of stuff and I don't like people feeling bad for me or anything like that. But I realized that NOT posting on this makes me feel like I am not being genuine in my interactions on here, or something. So, in order to post on OTHER things, I realized that I HAVE to post on the most significant thing going on in my life right now...lol

Geez, after that intro:

FYI: I recently had surgery for colon cancer. I was diagnosed on 8/5/10, and had the surgery on 8/19/10. I am ok and I am home getting better. I have to have some chemo, but won't meet with my oncologist until next week. According to the colorectal surgeon (again, haven't met with the oncologist, yet), it will be 6 months of chemo, but it shouldn't be too tough...maybe like once every two weeks or something. Anyway, I should be in tip top condition after that and fortunately, it did not spread to any organs.

I am lucky.

I will probably be out of work for another 2-3 weeks in order to heal and will start chemo in about a month or so. I have support and people to take care of me (again, lucky).

That's all. Just needed to say that out loud!

Carry on, folks!

P.S. I plan to be at next year's reunion instead of "under the knife"!

That's what I like about you Bro, your integrity. Be well my friend.

Wishing you nothing but the absolute best DB. There is so much love and support in this community. Will be looking for you next year in LR.

[DapperButch]

That's what I like about you Bro, your integrity. Be well my friend.

Thanks, Corkey. I appreciate you saying that, as I respect you for the same reason.

[Blade]

Best of luck to you Dapper, hope your recovery is quick and smooth.

[rlin]

positively positive! a great attitude!!!
grab yourself a pipe... pack it with natural herbs and be glad that it fixes all the ills associated with the chemo!
seriously... if you have stomach problems... hit a pipe...
its fool proof...
and... im damned glad to hear that you are doing well... its good to hear strength behind your post!

rlin...

[betenoire]

If we were better friends I would now make some inappropriate comments about pain in the ass. But we're not, so you just go ahead and pretend I didn't say what I didn't just say.

Be well, Dapper. You're good people.

[SnackTime]

Best of luck to you Dapper!

[Greyson]

Dapper, I have noticed you were not around much lately. Thanks for sharing with us about yourself. I will keep you in my thoughts, best wishes to you, my friend.

thank you for sharing this.

now we can all send you healing thoughts (the love and support of your community does NOT make you an attention whore).

there are more than a few of us who have had to deal with chemo or are in the process of having chemo right along with you.

if you have any questions, feel free to pm me and i'd be happy to share the brighter side of chemo with you.

i am SO glad they caught it in time and that your surgery was a success.

you are now on official woo status and that will end up being a priceless gift. :rrose:

Thanks, SF, I appreciate that. I also know that you genuinely mean it, which is damn cool.

And yes, I am very, very lucky. I waited a LONG time with symptoms. Too long...so yes, I am indeed lucky. :)

P.S. Thanks for the comment on the attention whore, thing. I do appreciate any healing thoughts, etc. from others.

[betenoire]

Did you know Cottenelle has an aloe version? Yes indeedy they doooo.

It's actually horrible. I bought it once because I thought it would be fantastic - but it actually left a bit of a residue on my nethers and made them feel less than clean.

We bought the stuff by mistake, it was gross, but it was soft.

Sweet Dapper....
Thank You for sharing this with Your family here..... There is a candle lit in Your honor here at Chez Diva and will soon be lit on the candle thread over there....

You are a special soul.....and I hold You in my heart.:tea:

Dapper...

While you have been through so much lately, you obviously have such a great outlook on your healing and dealing with what is ahead of you.

I wish you the easiest of times through this!!!

See you next YEAR!

MAD FUCKING RECOVERY WOO TO YOU!!!!

[Soft*Silver]

Dapper...there is magic in this community when they woo. I send pink woo. Wonderful warm soft rain of pink woo. Cleansing, healing, joyful, happy, celebratory pink woo.

[chefhmboyrd]

sending lots of light and healing your way dude!

[WickedFemme]

Get well soon :)

[JustJo]

Sending you big hugs :gimmehug: and wishing you a speedy and complete recovery :rrose:

And sorry, I have no TP recommendations :giggle:

[Gemme]

Dapper, like Greyson, I'd been wondering where you were. I'd hoped for a vacation or extra hours at the office. However, it looks like you're in the process of kicking this to the curb.

We're all behind you (heh) and are sending you all kinds of good thoughts, less than helpful hints and tricks, and uber funky but always well-meaning woo.

Big hugs to you, my friend. I'll look for you in LR 13 months and a few days from now!

[Cowboi]

Wishing you a speedy recovery!!!!

[Scorp]

Dapper,

Thank you for sharing your courageous story in this thread.

I'm sure it was difficult for you to put this out in the open.

Know that you have a lot of support here from those who know you and those of us who don't.

Stay strong and positive.

Be well.

-Scorp-

[friskyfemme]

Dapper

Wrapping you in a green blanket of healing energy! May your recovery be speedy.

Best Wishes to you.

Sending my Bro some hugs from the Mrs and I, woooo is on the way!

[JustBeingMe]

I wish you well DapperButch. I wish for you to fully recover and to be cancer free for life.

[AtLast]

Dapper, my very best to you.

You are one of the people here I have great respect for and get so much out of your musings.

I am glad you have support around you and I think it is a good thing to post this as we care about you as a right-on member here! A good friend of mine recently had colon cancer surgery and treatment and she is doing great which will be the same for you. But, hell, this is a big deal to be dealing with! sounds like the surgery went well. Good!! The first step is over!

You RAWK and I will keep you in my thoughts while you get through this.

[waxnrope]

Hey bro. It was a good idea to let people know here. Well, maybe not Corkey and Betenoir. Lol. They would always sink to the bottom, so to speak.
Know that your community here will keep you in our thoughts and/or prayers, sending light and evoking the healing power of collective will. Candles lit through your chemotherapy. And, yes, rlin was mostly right ... mostly. Depending.

I know that you have a lot of support at home. We've just widened that circle. You can't do better. Hugs to you, bro.

[betenoire]

Hey now! Me and Corkey provide a valuable service!

It is no coincidence that poo rhymes with woo.

Hey now! Me and Corkey provide a valuable service!
Are these services paid for, or, ate they freebies? :sunglass:

That's right with out poo humor there is a lack of WOOOOOO factor.

Poo woo? :seeingstars:
I'd watch out for these two if I were you, Dapper. In the meantime, just be sure to :fart: and keep the surgeon happy.

wow ((((((((((((((Dapper poohs))))))))))))))
hope you mend..soon...... will keep you in my thoughts..:candle::candle:

[tantalizingfemme]

Just wanted to let everyone know that Dapper didn't fall off the face of the earth after starting this thread.... Hy unfortunately developed an obstruction in hys intestine and ended up back in the hospital on Thursday. Today hy had surgery to remove the adhesions and everything went well.

Thanks for all the well wishes and woo.... (and let's hope the poo will soon follow):praying:

T

[Corkey]

WOOOOOOO and bring on the Pooooooo

[Gemme]

Lots of woo to you, Dapper. Get well soon!

[morningstar55]

has anyone .......... heard from Dapper ??? and how he is doing ???

[DapperButch]

Hi, Folks!

Thanks for all the well wishes...I am back in business!

As tatalizingfemme said (thanks, honey!), the day I wrote the thread (strangely just a few hours later), I started having intense pain and then went into the emergency room. I had a second surgery and just got out of the hospital the end of last week. This is my first day I have turned on the computer. Tougher recovery this time around, but onward and upward!

Later this week I will meet with the oncologist in my area and then next week I will meet with the folks in Philly for a second opinion on chemo.

Thanks again for all of the wonderful support...it is so very much appreciated!

:fart:

[Corkey]

Good to see you back Dapper!

[DapperButch]

Well, this is IT, folks!

Last chemo infusion today!

It has been a tough road since August, but I am FINALLY done! Just in time for summer!

The support I have received through my gf (tantalizingfemme), has been incredible over this time, and I just want to give a thanks to her here at bfp! I truly couldn't have asked for a better partner!

Also, a little shout out to Bete for being a wonderful support to me as well. I didn't know her before the chemo, so it is pretty cool that we became friends during this time and I had an online support friend.

Also, I appreciate the support that I have received from EVERYONE here.

One can get a little whacky with chemo (perceptions get off and brain doesn't work oh, so well), so I apologize if I have been a little "off" in my posts at all. I suspect that the ones who know have kind of treated me with kid gloves if I offended without thinking, which I appreciate!

I hope to not have any problems in the future. With the surgery and chemo, I only have about a 18-20% the cancer will return, so that is awesome!

Thanks again, all!

[suebee]

GREAT news Dapper! I'm so glad to hear that all of that is over for you. Take a deep breath and know that it's behind you! :cheer:

Sue :floatbee:

[SelfMadeMan]

DB - I feel so bad that I never even saw this thread until today! I am sorry you had to go through that scare at all, and everything that came with it, but I am so thankful that you are ok :-) Sounds like you maintained a positive attitude throughout the process and that is so important - that and the love and support of your girl. I'm glad you're healing well - sending you lots of positive thoughts!

Sweet Dapper....
Thanks so much for this good news! I'm sorry I haven't kept up with You (I started to say "haven't kept up with Your ass..." but that would have been over the top, I'm thinkin'... )..... I have no excuse for that....

But THIS! THIS is grand news and I'm so happy for You and Tantalizing Femme....and God bless her for helping You through this hard part...and onward!

[betenoire]

Well, this is IT, folks!

Oh don't even. It's clearly been a two-way street - you've been a good friend to me as well. Which is a lot of work, because I just happen to be batshit crazy.
