Attention Jim Hawks, just for you

Read my response to him…Having no cancer in his body as Floyd States is the same thing as cancer free or free of cancer.

I just read through every post in this thread and I didn’t see a single one where Floyd claimed that Dave Rose had no cancer in his body.

I’m not sure where grasshopper is getting this from. Grasshopper needs to read back through this thread and look at all 21 or 22 posts. Floyd never wrote what you said he did.

Just trying to be honest here.

Floyd wrote: “he doesn’t currently have any cancer in his body.”
So, does this sentence mean he is or isn’t cancer free? Not only does it mean he is cancer free, he’s been cancer free for 10 years. Go ahead and deny it. Wouldn’t surprise me.

PROVE IT SCOTT… Cut and Paste MY EXACT COMMENT that has my name next to it!..You can’t, because I NEVER EVER SAID IT!

I did cut and paste the exact comment you made that has your picture on it as the poster to show you exactly where YOU MADE THAT COMMENT, not me! That comment was verbatim what you said I said.

But your ego and pride will not allow you to recognize that you were WRONG!

Good Grief Scott… “Man Up” and admit your mistake, and please Stop LYING about what I posted.

CAPS are for invasive not yelling…

Okay Floyd…you are correct. I posted it but it was fun anyways.
However, Rose doesn’t currently have cancer. The tests he takes doesn’t mean he has cancer anymore than when you have your prostate exam every year that you have prostate cancer. The PSA is a test to make sure you don’t have cancer.

Thank you Scott… I appreciate that you accept you made a mistake.

As for the cancer, you are never really “Free”, it is always there, just not active…
It runs in my family, all but one person of my mother’s family died of cancer… Horrible disease.

What do you mean “it’s” always there? The cells? Or the possibility of cancer returning?

There’s no way for doctors to know that all of the cancer cells in your body are gone, which is why many doctors don’t use the word “cured.”

If cancer cells do come back, it usually happens within the 5 years following the first diagnosis and treatment, but it varies with the individual.

Some cancer cells can remain unnoticed in the body for years after treatment. If a cancer returns after it has been in remission, it’s called a “recurrence.”

It’s normal to be concerned that this will happen to you. Every situation is different, and there’s no way to predict what will happen.

One of my best friends at work got breast cancer, she beat and it went into remission, about 8 yrs. later it came back (in a different area) and it eventually took her life.

That is why I said that it is never really gone…

If it’s in a different part then it’s a different cancer. Not a reoccurring cancer just like my father. Each of his 3 cancers were independent of each other. What I think could be said of many is that their immune system is inadiquate as they get older. The likelihood of getting cancer as we age goes up as our body breaks down.
I’m glad you mentioned the 5 year mark that I did.
What happens when someone has a serious illness of any kind, they take a defensive posture for the rest of their life. Well, some don’t. Diabetics should lose weight and excercise but usually don’t. Cancer patience take a defensive position. But that doesn’t mean they still have cancer.

So what is it exactly that you want me to do? Should I get the crow ready for you? It might not be bad if you put a little salt and pepper on it.

Enjoy!

Think what you want Scott… This subject is getting too personal for me and this topic is about Basketball not cancer.

BINGO!!!

I was thinking same thing yesterday :slight_smile:

Well, it was about basketball and why Rose retired and why he was recruiting lazily. Anyway, I have had close friends die recently from cancer and it’s good to be concerned. A former student of mine I stay in contact with through church is a nurse and reminds me to get colonoscopies. She saved my life. Everyone should get it done. Jim???

Really?

You want to talk about the time you had a camera stuck up your booty?

I had one a few years ago and the doc. told me I didn’t need to do it again for at least 10 years. Clean as a whistle…

You want the video?

Just being the warning voice for my friends. Dew? Thawk?Tex? Everyone!

I’m in support of Rose’s work :slight_smile:

Floyd, you got sucked in … again by the Hopper. Don’t let that happen anymore.

What is it with you? Are you so immature, uncertain and insecure that you can’t take opposing viewpoints and challenge to your line of thinking?

No… he is just warning Floyd about getting sucked in to your constant stream of nonsense.

Floyd has a hard time resisting…

It’s not nonsense. I’ve been right 95% of the time…

Wrong 99% of the time and everyone knows it😉
