I have been silently watching your amazing build. I am sorry to hear of your illness. After watching my wife go through chemo, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It will knock the wind out of your sails for sure, but stay positive. You will bounce back. And when you do, I have no doubt that your determination will have the Astroliner finished and in use in short order. A positive outlook is the key.

Edit to add: My wife has been cancer free for nearly 20 years now. She is one tough lady.

Michael,
I agree with the above. You seem to be a very positive person and that quality plus prayer will go a long way to recovery.
Take care my friend,
Tom

I'm going to be positive. I believe that you will make it through this set-back. While the hardest part may be the chemo, you may very well get to see how you would look with your head shaved! I have a friend who recently finished chemo and is on to the radiation therapy. Her hair is starting to grow back and she is looking forward to trying all the haircut styles that she was previously too chicken to try.

Follow doctors' orders. Be with the illness, getting plenty of rest and as much nutrition as you can so that you can get better sooner. And, yes, say your prayers, including thanks for all you've had and have. Positive thinking is important. And Who knows?! You may be back at it by August or even before and get in a couple camping trips next fall. Meanwhile, if you have the energy and the opportunity this summer, plan on going to a gathering or two, even if it might only be for a hour. It'll do your spirits good. :thumbsup:

Chin up bud, stay positive & I like the idea about visiting a gathering to see other people's work on campers. It might just help a bit & give you a new perspective. Waiting to see more shots of the work when it's time!

Michael,
I am so sorry to hear the news of your illness. I believe God is still in the miracle business, so I will be praying for your complete recovery and return to health. Maybe this build will be one of those things to look forward to that will help you on the tough days. The community here is pretty amazing. Post when you can to let us know how you are doing. Stay strong, stay faithful!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you each and everyone... For the thoughts, good vibes, kind words, encouragement and of course, your prayers. I have spent the past 26 days of the month in the hospital. What a long haul. You never know how tough you really are, until being tough is the only choice you have. I have found myself fighting for my life, my sanity, my finances... And it's certainly been a struggle. I am now half way through my chemo treatments and I am astonished at the way it changes you. It changes you physically. Mentally. Emotionally. As someone else here said, it really lets the wind out of your sails. It makes you feel hollow and empty and you look in the mirror and wonder who that horrible person is looking back at you. It's soul-crushing. But, I've lost about 45lbs which I needed to do anyway. (I don't recommend the diet plan by the way.) The chemo doctor thinks the chemo has cured my high blood pressure, so cool. (Still not recommended.) Anyway, just wanted you all to know how much we appreciate all the kind thoughts and comments. I'll tell you right now, it's the cards, texts, messages, calls and prayer that are the only things that lift me up and change my day some days. So, keep it coming ya'll. We can use it! And by the way... My build partner is now my caretaker and I'll tell you she's amazing! She's tough and she's sweet and the combo just rocks. Love my Carrie.

Someday I'll be back at the Astroliner project again. The build goes on in my mind and in my dreams...

Michael and Carrie
