Been a long time since I last logged on to this page. I was diagnosed with stage one Lung Cancer last May and underwent surgery in June. The upper lobe of my right lung was removed and all appeared to be fine. I was scheduled to be released in two days then all hell broke loose. The lung collapsed and I went on a ventilator for two weeks. I do not remember any of this. After a couple of more weeks mostly in ICU I was finally released to come home but was having great difficulty breathing. I was home 10 days and come down with pneumonia and went back to the hospital for two more weeks. When I was allowed to come home again I was signed up for home oxygen and have just recently started weaning myself from it. I now only use the portable oxygen bottle when I'm out and about for any length of time. Doctors say the breathing will eventually come back I just have to learn to breathe with limited lung capacity. I have been riding and happy to say while I'm on the Valkyrie I do not have breathing trouble. Better days are on the way!  |

Like John said. Enough of that kind of stuff Wayne. Looks like you are still in OK. so "back" means back in circulation and on the VRCC board I suppose. But anyway so glad to know that you beat the odds.

Happy you are doing better.
Sounds like a little forced induction from a Valk ride is a good prescription!

Glad to hear you're on the mend Wayne. It does sound like you need to spend more time on the bike.
