A return and many thanks....

[AP44]

Hello everyone,

It's been quite awhile since I have gotten to interact with you guys. The moderation team has found it in their hearts to give me a chance to talk Giants football once again and to all of you guys - thank you for the consideration and changing your stance on me.

As many of you know I have always been a bit of a lightning rod, who is very hard headed and tend not to let subjects or my opinions speak for themselves and for that I have created a lot of troubling threads on this board - so to the members of this board - I do apologize.

The meaning of this posts is to give you a little background of me and why things have to be different this time. I am 41 years old and a father of 3 beautiful girls. In January this year, my life changed drastically. I was diagnosed with liver and bile duct cancer. It was the lowest point of my life. I went to see many doctors and never got the consensus on what was the best way to attack it. One doctor suggest dangerous surgery, another doctor then suggest a transplant - which had many risk of in itself. I went to a 3rd doctor and went with a strange option - treating the cancer as best as possible knowing full well the cancer probably will never go away. This doctor felt maintaining it would give me the best option to live as normal of a life as possible without the risk the other options presented.

This doctor has told me I am still in the very early stages of cancer, and the risk of spreading and growing back are still in my favor but those risks will always remain. So I have been on Chemo ever since and have been through so many low points - its been troubling. However, the strength of my wife and kids as been so special that I am t the point where I dont even think about it anymore. I just have to get to bed a little earlier than usual

I have always stayed in contact with Rich about the team ever since my last appearance here and there are times when I just need time to myself and felt a good way to interact with people was talking about the Giants. So I reached out to Rich to see if I could be given another chance and Rich reached out to the moderators and they were gracious enough to agree.

So thank you to everyone and cant wait to engage in some great football talk!

Dale, it's great to have you back.   I wish you were sharing better news, though.  I am pulling for you.   I know you are a fighter, so if anyone is going to beat this thing, it's you.

Thank you Rich and the moderators! I always enjoyed AP's post.  I hope Doc finds his way home too; a couple of great posters who always had good insight.

Again, thank you for giving people a second chance. Welcome back, Dale.

Thoughts and prayers to ya!

Always welcome some good Giants chat!

Welcome back!
 Stay strong! I'm in a similiar situation, but with me its Bladder, like it makes a difference right?  If it is one form or another, well you know.
 One foot in front of another my friend, at least thats what I keep telling myself. Good Luck!

Thank you all. The Giants being relevant and seemingly on the right path has been a good thing as well!
