Looks like I'll be starting radiation this coming week...

OchoReales

for a new tumor that showed up in my left upper arm. This one is in the bone as oppossed to my pelvic tumor (on the bone) which makes this one pretty serious. I am currently in danger of breaking the arm due to bone weakness (so says the oncologist).

Anyway, please chear me up by posting your electrically toned, radiating World goodies and I promise to someday soon list the Jerusalem Collection! And, if you are person of prayer; PLEASE and THANKS in advance!

Hi Gary - My prayers are with you.

sumnom

I posted to your thread over on the Lite Side but why not post here again? Our thoughts are with you and we hope for the best possible outcome.

And WWW, that is a thing of beauty!

Thats a bummer. hang in there.

FilthyBroke

Best of luck, we'll be pulling for you.

Have done the radiation thing, not as difficult as chemo, just tedious. Approach it like any job, follow the rules and it will soon be over. Also realize that lots of prayers and good wishes are flowing your way.

Hang in there Ocho. I'm not a person of prayer, but that doesn't stop me from sending you all the positive energy I can muster.

I posted a neutron-irradiated Roosevelt dime over on the Liteside version of this thread, but since this is the Darkside, well, here...

Recreation of the seller's original scan (though mine is bigger and not as dark). Doesn't look like much "electricity" goin' on there, does it?




Now, my first pitiful attempts at photographing it:




And finally, blu62vette's photo of it:



I still have yet to find the photograph that ideally matches this coin's "look". It is off at NGC right now with most of the rest of my daughter's collection, and they are photographing it, too, but I have never tried their photo service before. At $3/coin, I don't expect much.

All of this over a tiny little coin that cost me $9.99 originally. But hey, it's been a longtime favorite.


8R, as I mentioned on the Liteside, my prayers are with you.

I wish you the best Ocho and you will be in my family's prayers. Cancer sucks and I hope you kick it's a**.

Also, I like any chance I get to say "Ocho".

Best of luck to you Gary. I just had my 3 month cat scan and they say I am stable. In our world stable is great. Keep up a positive attitude and it goes without saying that all of our prayers are for you.

I agree with garneteye - just follow the instructions. Went through 9+ weeks of radiation myself last summer and found ways to enjoy the experience.

Lots of prayers going out that your path is as smooth as mine was!

RobP

Hang on in there. I don't do prayers, but thoughts will do just as well.

Ocho - Stay strong and make the best of it. We'll keep your spirits up here with some nice looking hunks of metal.

I you guys!

UPDATE;

My wife and I had a consultation at the University of Miami this morning. The doctor feels that the radiation for both areas can be administered in 14 daily (M-F) sessions. I have complete peace about this type of treatment irradicating both tumors (arm and pelvis).
CICF (4/14-17), here I come!

Glad to hear it, and thanks for the warning!

Hope this keeps your spirits up, it even looks like this in hand.

Good luck Gary, hope everything turns out well.

Some beautiful coins here Gary-hope they're doing their cheering up job. We're all thinking about you.

This one isn't exactly electric but it's a new proof set pluck out that I have reasonably
high hopes for.

Please keep us posted....

canadacolornut

I meant to mention.

Apparently the mint worker in charge of placing carbon spots on the coins as they come through
the finishing area had the day off

Zohar

Now that may be a good reason to head down to CICF!
