Glad he's getting better, Maybe it wasn't his time to go, and the accident may save his life, Finding the cancer!

I had a car accident and they found a broken bone C7 that I didn't know I had,(previous hunting accident)they had to do an MRI and found out I had thyroid cancer, by the time it was removed it was the size of a billiard ball... That accident may have saved my life!

Hope you two can get back out fishing together this summer!

Unfortunately his only fish of the year was already caught. Glad I had a chance to post it on this site. If you can only get 1 trout per year make it an 8 plus pounder.

He has the Hooper fight and healing powers in him and things are going very well. He may be released from Hartford Hospital early next week. The healing at home will be several months. The cancer should be addressed in a few weeks. Hopefully it is only in one place and opening him up did not wake it up. He sounded good today but reassured me he is hurting bad.

Thanks again for the consern all.

Glad he is making progress. Prayers sent to you and your bro. Sounds like a tough SOB. Keep us posted.

Hoop,
Sorry to hear about your bother's accident.
Things happen for a reason (as bad as it may seem at the time).
I'm living proof that serendipity CAN save your life.
Good luck to your brother, and prayers sent.

UPDATE

His bones are healing well and they addressed his cancer a bit earlier than expected. It is not only (IN) his kidney but also growing out of his kidney and is threatening his lung. His bones are borderline healed enough to stand up for the 5 hour surgery. We will get the decision from the bone doctor on Tuesday. If he gives the OK things will happen fast to remove the cancer. Maybe as soon as Thursday. Let's hope the bones are healed enough to allow the surgery now.
