Hey GSLPRO - I know this is not the thread, but could everyone please excuse this - My hat is tipped to you guys (Oncology Nurses) may you live long and well! I met a girl when she was 14. At first she didn't think much of me. We got married when she was 20. She was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 38. She died when she was 40. Your colleagues (Oncology Nurses) really helped both of us. Four weeks afted she died and I had even paid for her funeral I was diagnosed with advanced bone marrow cancer. I was given 6 months "tops" . I put a deposit on a corvette conv. and decided to hit Route 66. Talked out of it by friends. Got a second opinion - he said one year "tops". Talked into experimental chemotherapy. Have had 18 rounds over the last 10 years. Will probably soon be doing Rituximab again. Apologies to all readers for my little drama. Three points, if I may - any day is a good day and if it's on the water or even looking at a boat it is a GREAT day! Oncology Nursing is a "tough gig" and those Nurses are saints. I go once a month for my transfusion and they always manage to find a vein! Last - my discussion regarding Axius was that I did not buy it for a toy. It's so the Admiral will be able to drive the boat no matter what. When cancer gets me (and it will) at least it won't get my boat - THAT would be personal!!!!! In the meantime I'll be in my Rinker burning up the water and driving up the value of gasoline stocks.Soooo GSLPRO - Thank you to tou and all of your colleagues for helping me more than I can say here. Long live the RBO and good health to all of you!

Heck of a story Michael.  Glad you're doing well!! 

My brother and I operate a mobilehome/manufactured housing service business in the Chicagoland area.  We do just about everything, heating, air conditioning, electrical, plumbing, sheds, decks, roofs, windows, doors, siding, awnings, patio covers, carports, skirting, etc.  Complete home sets for parks as well as retail work for homeowners in the parks.  That makes up about 95% of our business.  The other 5% is repairing RV appliances, electrical and plumbing systems.

In business 22 years now and I never want to retire, I love what I do!!

I must concur with Michael T regarding oncology nurses, having had several major surgeries, radiation & chemo since being diagnosed 5 years ago. Things are looking pretty good so far, but going through cancer treatment has a profound effect on how you see the future, in that there is no guarantee that you will have a future. That is why we got into boating a few years ago, not waiting until retirement. I will not be content to sit in a rocker and watch the world go by and I will treat every day as a gift to be enjoyed to its fullest. I am betting that there is not a single soul on this forum who doesn't know someone who has had to deal with that horrible disease with all its myriad manifestations. Its a huge club that no one wants to be a member of. And yes, God bless all in health care that work tirelessly to improve the lives of all who suffer.
