    If I did power my Prius that way I would be scared to hit 88mph! (Back to the Future reference)

    No Tom but now that you mention it they did look like a tall aluminum can....

    All the best in the future with your battle. I may check in to the board from time to time to see how you are doing! Otherwise, I guess I'm searching for a few good Mazda boards!

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    -:UPDATE:-

    As per my last post, the CT scan came out clean for signs of cancer in my liver. The oncologist shook my hand and said I'm about as healthy as we can possibly know at this time.

    I then had an x-ray barium enema performed on me. You do not ever want to have this done to you. Yuck! The test was set up to determine if my original surgery healed up correctly and was umm water tight..... Yuck again!!!

    The above test came out perfect so I am now scheduled for my ileostomy take down! I go in on May 26th and should only be in the hospital for 3-4 days at most. I'll be thinking of you guys/girls. :)

    Ohh and the best news of all....... I finally got a girlfriend so between that and work I've not have much time to post on PC but know that I miss you all! Even those who have deserted us and left for Madza Forums. :p

    As far as we can tell. I prefer to say I am cancer tumor free since we cannot know if there are tiny cancer cells roaming around or not. Best we can do now is wait and continue testing. If I'm tumor free for 5yrs then I should be in the clear. :)

    Thank you my friend. Thanks to everyone on PC who has supported me through this ordeal. You all have made such a huge difference in my ability to fight this cancer. I am at a loss as to how I could ever repay you for being such wonderful people. :(

    I very rarely ever come in here and just stumbled onto your thread...what a story, I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so well. I'm in the middle of my father facing serious illness and I can't even imagine what this must be like for you around my own age...wow.

    Keep up the good healing!
