Somebody's Prayin, I Can Feel It. (Re: Jim No Horse, aka Tusco Horse, aka Chemo Sabe, aka Honorary JEDI #222)

well Jim the fire ants only bite on this side of the grass, but still a preferred place to be!  Keep concentrating on all them good things and folks around you and let that distract you from the temporary unpleasantness.  

 

Hope to see you soon!

[Del Rio Pete]

From Jim's post on Monday on his other thread.  

 

"As of last Wednesday my MRI came back with four one inch tumors and one 3/4 inch in various parts of my brain. 

I ask that you lift me up in prayer as I start what is called full brain radation in a few hours. Fifteen, once daily treatments to hold the tumors in check while they get the  immunotherapy drugs they think might shrink them.This feels a bit like drawing to an inside straight but it is the hand I have been dealt and I will play it.

I am on steroids  now  so I can walk again. Edema, swelling was affecting my gyroscope. I have been told I have a big head before but who knew you could take a steroid for  'big head'  ..LOL...

Prayers have given me the last three years and you cowpals are closest to my heart when I think of riding the river.

 

So this is a gun forum not a pity party for Jim No Horse so....Come shoot the Cabs at Texas Republic Ranch in our brand new Old West town of Determination Texas...it has been a grounds up build and is an exceptional range. We even put in indoor plumbing with rainwater to feed the toilets...God bless you all... Jim "

[Jim No Horse]

Finished my 3rd whole brain radiation today. No way to quantify changes in the tumors till all 15 treatments are done. Got a full body PET scan yesterday which will tell if there is more spreading of the cancer. 

On a brighter note I bought a new Stetson for EOT and four Texas Star conchos for the mule ear boots I wear. I plan to make EOT if it kills me....LOL..We are gonna have a blast in New Mexico. We have 9 coming from the town of Determination Texas alone.  Do not fear my gun....remember my motto... "Shooting last so you don't have to!"  Lets all go and have a blast...Jim

 

[Jim No Horse]

okHere are the new Star Conchos.

Keeps my mullies from to much flapping. Flapping is my job...LoL.

The Stetson is still in the hands of the Amazonian...LOL.... Thanks  Jim

 

 

 

[Del Rio Pete]

Jim,

How are you doing this week?

Are you sleeping?

Are the treatments going as planned?

Did you get your new hat?

[Del Rio Pete]

Jim,

How are you?

[Jim No Horse]

Got my new John B Stetson Gus hat and a stampede string that Slick McClade was selling in the Classifieds.

Can't believe The Dawg didn't beat me to it...LOL...

On a more somber note....still LOL....I can't help myself....

On March 1st I start Immunotherapy.  It is a T cell enhancer designed to radically increase your T cells ability to fight infection...including cancer. It is the latest form of the drug that killed Jimmy Carters brain tumors a couple of years back. 

 

On March the 6th I go to Houston to see my consulting oncologist at The Baylor Clinic for his opinion. 

After finishing my 14 full brain radiation treatments I took the staff a full blown pancake breakfast made to custom order...bannana chocolate chip...a couple of double blueberry...some whole wheat...a strawberry lemon...anyway the crew there love this pancake joint and the boss cleared the schedule for an hour so all 11 of them could eat together. It was a surprise and a simple blessing I could give. It made my day.

The new pet scan shows a tumor in my liver...my spleen..and one in a kidney. Also the Cyberknife did not get the Adrenal tumor. My radiation oncologist told me her pal from the Air Force (the pretty doctor) told her I had a great sense of humor so she says....Mr Barbee...you are a target rich environment...I am a gun woman and I will kill them. So....that is that. Anyway thank you for your prayers for me and my family...there are many others on this Wire who are fighting this same demon. My prayers go out to all...May God bless them ...Thank you Jim

 

[Abilene, SASS # 27489]

I'll bet those doctors never met anyone like you before.  Prayers continue, and may God bless the T Enhancers.

 

On another note, I'm not sure if I knew your last name before, which is not the most common.  Did your family ever own a cabin on Lake Brownwood?

[Jax T]

Jim,

Have not seen your thread before. Good luck with the doc's and my prayers are with you in this battle. From a new to the game Texan.

[Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474]

More prayers heading your way Jim.

Your courage and sense of humour in the face of your challenges is an inspiration.

May God bless you and keep you+

[Jim No Horse]

Abilene 

Now truth be told my family is one step up from white trash...we have a double wide...with good tires...LOL

 

A cabin on Lake Brownwood...sounds idyllic. Abilene, you honor my family with your kind words. No we did not....more like  an outlaw cabin at the shallow muddy end of the lake...Squatterville  for horse thieves ...LOL ...bring your bugle..

wake em up...ll   Thanks Jim

 

[Abilene, SASS # 27489]

Haha!  When I was a kid my dad worked for Paymaster and they had a company cabin, so we got to spend 4 or 5 days there each summer.  My brothers and I walked the rocky shoreline casting our lures, and one inlet that usually had fish we called "Barbee's inlet".   But we never knew the family, just their name.  Hey, maybe you have some distant rich relatives you never knew.

 

I guess you've raised your place in the world since then.

Time for a song....

 

Lean On Me by Bill Withers

 

 

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain

We all have sorrow

But if we are wise

We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride

If I have faith you need to borrow

For no one can fill those of your needs

That you won't let show

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand

We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand

We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear

That you can't carry

I'm right up the road

I'll share your load

If you just call me (call me)

If you need a friend (call me) call me uh huh(call me) if you need a friend (call me)

If you ever need a friend (call me)

Call me (call me) call me (call me) call me

(Call me) call me (call me) if you need a friend

(Call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me)
