[quote=CamT]I haven't been on the stage a lot lately but have followed and prayed for the many who have ask for them, to name a few Marion and Leo, RJS and Jean, the two brothers, and many others. Some here know that in October I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and have been dealing with the process of biopsies etc. The up side is after several Dr. visits and a second opinion with M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the best available here, I found out that my and all of ya'lls prayers were answered. I went from 1st Dr saying I needed hormone therapy and 8 weeks of radiation to being told my cancer is slow growing, caught very early, and very small so MD Anderson has put me on "active surveillance" and no treatment necessary.
This is from a 15 year study of men with this type of cancer that the one's with radiation therapy and ones on surveillance have the same survival rates. So if the spot starts to grow in the future we will discuss treatment then. I am grateful for all of your support here, a great bunch of guys and gals that happen to share the love of fishing 🎣 and each other. Be kind and love one another, this has been a rough ride as many of you know I lost my wife to lung cancer 2 years ago and your support was very special then also.
Great news, CamT. I'm also in the "active surveillance" group. Amazed at the goodness of God, as the prostate cancer led to discovering I had early stage bladder cancer, which is a greater problem. But catching it early meant that I could be treated with immunochemical methodology--weekly injections of an attenuated bacterial strain into the bladder. Your body attacks the bacteria, and the same army attacks the cancer. So far I have been having those treatments, with no side effects. And this week my cystoscopy showed no visible cancer in the bladder. So life for me at age 85 just goes on normally. We serve a big God!
Everyone have a g Sorry I posted inside your post
Is the last one Gina Lollobrigida?
Anyone have a recent report on crappie from the Lakeview Landing pier?

I'm guessing they still have what is called worm bedding.
I used it yrs ago when I collected nightcrawlers.
Basically ground up paper.
Add a enough water to keep it moist.
That should be easy if you have a paper shredder.
Welcome, Pam. The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. But then, I'm retired ...
Nice fish! That sea trout will be great eating!
Too far away to join you, but I want to get into fishing for redfish. Good luck!
Thanks for all the info, Eagleclaw! Appreciate your help! Tight lines.
