Attention all of my KTC brothers and sisters. This badass quitter and I were exchanging sext messages right before I boarded a plane. Those of you that know Traumagnet's (Todd's) story are much like me envious of the fact that this tough as nails SOB is not only fighting cancer but he has his hands grasped on the throat of cancer. I never had a doubt that this dude was legit, he is not afraid to speak his mind and he is loyal as hell.

Well short story long...this man gave me a glimpse into a bucket list he wants to do to not only show cancer but to show the world he is a badass. He wants to run a race in Fargo...possibly this year, I have decided that no matter when he runs, walks, rolls, my ass will be right beside him. Then it hit me, KTC people do the Tybee run and others together so without a date yet I am dubbing this the Trot for Trauma. So when he lets us know I will put up something in the Quitter meet up section, but none the less brother I got your six!

Traumagnet, I've been here less than ten days. I just read your intro thread from beginning to end. You are on an incredibly inspiring journey, and we are very fortunate that you have invested so much of yourself into this site and documented the past 2+ years. I am going to recommend to the people I reach out to, and the people who read my intro, that they read your thread. Reading about your process is very, very, humbling. The fact that our troubles aren't over on quit day, or at 100 days, or at 700 days, is a punch in the gut. We were all fools to start this drug and permit this addiction. I know why you started gutting it, and I know you were proud of it, and so was I. I fucking hate the part of me that allowed this into my life. Thank you for allowing me and everyone on this site to share your journey. I am pulling for you harder than I've pulled for family members fighting a serious illness. This site, and it's community, does that to us, I suppose. I am in your fucking corner permanently, thank you for letting me join your other brothers there.

6:18 PM - Jul 14, 2015 #598

I am humbled that you took the time to read my thread from start to finish it gets sketchy now and then as it probably does in all threads of addicts but I did want to say that I am honored.

I am just a guy that has some decisions to make I could lay down and give up or I could rally the troops and fight for all I got. I have never been good and just letting shit run me over so I only had one choice. As you have read I took the fight road and on this road it was full of great leaders motivators and some of the best men and women that I have ever conversed with. I believe that if it wasnt for KTC and my education that I received here I would not have the mental capacity to defeat cancer. I am hardened now I have been forged I know that I will always be an addict but for 820 days I have been in control of my addiction and for today only wake tomorrow repeat. I was then able to apply everything that I have learned here and dig deep there are days when the 400-430 alarm goes off that I wanted to say fuck it stay in bed but you know you give up and not get up its just like letting the mistress we left behind whisper in your ear just one day just one dip...bull fuckin shit you pull your ass up by your bootstraps and sack up you got people depending on you and they dont have time for your short comings. I have not missed one day since I have taken my new job...granted there are days I probably should have tossed in the towel but I didnt I stood fast for I am an addict I cant ever give myself a break.

Would like to mention today was especially tough to get rolling but here at 415 am I am getting a text from my ol' pal Worktowin I dont know how he does it but he knows when I need a pick me up. One text all it took sacked up got my shit together and out the door. Cant tell all the new people enough these are the type of people on this site. You get to where you can tell just from text what is happening with your close group so my suggestion for newbies is grab on to a cornerstone here and never let go.
Rambling now
Trauma out.

Talked to my oncologist yesterday all labs look good. He said that 5 cycles of the heavy duty shit was good I told him I could do one more cycle of the heavy shit and he said that would be fabulous so this is the last cycle of the hard stuff then it will just be lighter chemo doses for good measure. I still will do the 12 cycles then I get a two month break so no chemo during Nov Dec. This cycle still getting the weird nerve shit but when we quit the oxilaplatin that should all go away. I still will keep the pump with FU5 but was informed yesterday that all the VA assistance the clowns on the hill promised may come to an end. Based on the call I had yesterday you have to call some chioce office and they will either approve or not approve coverage that the VA doesn't have like my pump and PET scans. We will see by the time I need tye PET scan it will be a new fiscal year for the Gov't. That a whole new ball of worms n will cross that when we get to it. Once again thank you all for the support it helps very much while strapped in w the big infusion pumps just buzz into KTC and get my dose of spinach and press on!
