So glad the prognosis is favourable.

A good reminder for everyone to take care of themselves and their loved ones.

Yep, obviously this won't mean much now as you've got way more important things to think about in the now, but you should be proud that you've built the best NHL AND local discussion message board in the hockey world.

Most people/groups dream of nailing one of those let alone both. It's pretty incredible really.

Sorry to hear the news Bingo, but it sounds like this punk is beatable so that's a relief. Best of luck in your fight with cancer!

Very relieving to here that this is beatable. The word cancer is down right scary.

My thoughts and prayers are behind you and your family Bingo. God bless and good luck!

You certainly have a lot of things in your favor that will allow you to win this battle. Thanks for sharing the story, it might help another them identify another unicorn in the future. Looking forward to seeing you come out of this stronger than ever.

All the best to you and your family as you battle through this.

Two days in and I'm slaying chemo so far! So a huge start to the process. I'm cocky but not arrogant enough to not think there are tough days coming, but so far pretty much symptom free ... but still on lock-down from the warden.

Way to go Bingo, keep laughing and beating that cancer back as it comes at you until it wimps out and slinks away.

You're dodging the important information.

If that isn't a sign that you have someone watching over you and you're meant to beat this, I don't know what is.

The first couple treatments for my father went fairly well, but it's the next handful of treatments that start to get you. Mind you, he said that getting blood transfusions were way worse than the chemo. On the overall, he said that it wasn't too bad and was definitely significantly less bad than he was expecting.

Glad to hear your first round went well Bingo. My aunt was diagnosed 8 months ago, after a few rounds of chemo, treatment and some good luck she is now in remission. I can see you walking down the same path my friend. Love the positive attitude

Cheers,
