Holenn has had some serious back pain and surgery and we are keeping in touch though myn wife and his sister. Tehy are still best of friends.

I know who "wallowinit" is and he is a dear old friend. I am not sure how this got started but I can assure you it was NOT ever directed at me. Please let's move on.

"Schaf" I had not idea you and your brother were hear in houston. I live in Cypress, the door is always open man!

This is Duane,
I am so glad to hear from so many people. I have been on Sutent since Friday evening before I went to bed. I take it four times a day, so obviously I am just getting started. I have opted out of the "Clinical Study" as it was really slowing things down, I stil would not be on Sutent if I stayed on the study. I had an MRI and that along with tht CT scan has verified the cancer has not matastisized to the brain, but like I said before I really had little chance based on brain cell quantity LOL! I am very comfortable with my doctors and please know this! I feel the prayers, they carry me, THEY WORK. I humbly request that you will provide more.

This is Duane DeArmond, Disco "D":) I am overwhelmingly humbled by all the kind words, the outflow of concern and of course the prayers from you all. I want to thank Randy aka "Bo" for setting this page up as well as old freinds like Wally, Tommy 'O' "Shaf" Reid my cousin and many others others who have posted. As it stands now I have cancer of the kidney. It has spread to my liver and lungs. The tumor om my kidney is the size of a softball. I just spent a few days in MD Anderson and my treatment plan will be completed Thursay and I have an appt. with my lead doctor at that time. The kidney will most likely be removed and I will have a chemo based treatment among others things to attack the other parts of my body which it has not spread. It has not spread to my brain nor my bones. I have my share of really bad days but I can assure you that this board makes all days easier to get through. have no doubt that I will survive this and I will no doubt be a better person
after it is over. I feel this way because I walk with the Lord and he is watching over me. May God bless you all and please keep the prayers coming!
