Thank you all for a wonderful time!

Just wanted to say thanks to all the posters here as I really enjoy following the Wings games from Denver.

A few months ago I was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and started to receive kemo. Not a pleasant experience. However this has not worked out so on Wednesday morning I will have surgery to remove 1/2 of my stomach. The good news is that I will no longer be able to eat as much (so will lose some weight) however the bad news is that the survival rate for stomach cancer is not all that great to begin with. My doctors feel confident that the surgery will do the trick so we will see.

My family/doctors will not allow me to watch the game tomorrow night even if I am capable of doing so because my body would not be able to take the strain. My heart was beating very fast on Monday night for most of the game and there is no way I could do the same tomorrow night. It reminds me of when I was a kid watching the Michigan-Ohio State games - I thought I was going to have a heart attack then! I will of course record the game/s to view later if I am able.

Anyways, thanks for all of the great posts. It really helps those of us who do not see the Wings regularly stay in touch.

Thanks again and I hope to be back in the future.

Best wishes on your surgery. And do come back when you're able. We all want to hear about your successful recovery!

Best of luck to you, get better soon.

Record the game and make sure no one tells you the score.

I wouldn't worry about the surgery. Most surgeries end extremely well. My main hope is that they get all the cancer.

Ill pray for you.
