When 2 became 1 (a 7th anniversary)

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Every time I get ticked off at botto, I think about this thread.

Rub your balls by all means. If you're over 40 or experiencing digestive problems, get scoped.

I hadn't seen this thread before or for that matter even known about Botto being a survivor. I'm glad you're still around, man.

By the way, this is far from the wedding thread I assumed from the title.

glad you beat it. A lot of people ignore it until it is too late.

Friend of the family just found out he has stage 4 melanoma and has less than a year to live. He's 26.

Good thread. A few years ago I had a funny little lump in my scrotum. Ultrasound revealed it to be a sebaceous cyst, basically a lump of fat. Which seems appropriate somehow.

Anyway, check out your boys, boys.

Congratulations on nine years free of the big C, botto. Here's to nine more. And, you know, a few decades on top of that.

It took courage to post your experience up on a public board such as this, and I know the feeling of uncertainty in cases such as this.

In my case, a lump appeared and turned out to be a benign tumor. At the ripe age of 15. This stuff is scary.

Glad you bumped this thread up, I am really glad you got the cancer dealt with favorably Botto, BF would not be the same without your wit and posts.

I had had two friends with TC and both had the same surgery. Fortunately both are doing well. Congrats on the anniversary.
