Carl, I really can't imagine the pain you're feeling. Our prayers and best wishes are sure directed towards you and your son. You need to stay strong for him- remember to take care of yourself during these immensely stressful times. Best wishes, sincerely, and good luck.

Man, I'd be screaming inside, and maybe out, "This isn't damn'd fair! ! !" Best wishes, hopes, prayers for your son catching a break or two...your whole family, for that matter.

So many thanks to everyone for the kindness. Only here.
CJ is now off the ICU and into a surgical floor room. He is struggling with pain control but being a true Harley Trooper. All he looks forward to is riding his Harley. Unfortunatly he will miss Laconia Bike Week that we live right next door to, but theres always next year.
He had a awesome experience yesterday while in the ICU. My daughter and i found Dane Cook doing a TV shoot on the same floor and we started talking to him and asked if he would come see CJ. He dropped everything to come see him. CJ likes Dane Cook about as much as he does his Harley. It was great.

Carl, My heart breaks as I read your story. You must have some mighty big shoulders or God would not have given you all of this to carry. I just prayed for your son and you and your family. Keep us posted.

I can't imagine what you are going through and what you have been through. Prayers sent to your family.

Late,

So i sit here in the ICU after they have removed his stomach and pray to whatever God there is out there that they got all the cancer from his body out.
In his short time he has had so many problems medically, similar problems his sister had who passed away in the fall of last year. I can only imagine what goes through is mind while we are our riding the bikes.
Unfortunate we don't think he will be able to ride in the benefit ride we have organized for this July in hi sisters honor. All he talks about is getting back on his bike. He is defiantly his fathers son.

I wish you and your family the best. I can only imagine what you must be going through. My riding partner is my father and my best friend.

As someone diagnosed with cancer, I wish you and your son the very best. You and he will be in my thoughts and prayers. Maybe one day I'll have the privilege meeting you and your son. Best wishes.

Rich
