Dammit! Hell Brent so sorry to read this. Sounds as if you have it reigned in.
Hope the recovery from this point is smooth. What an ordeal.
Was tempted to do a APB but figured you were tracking out in the wilderness.
Now you need to stay on track!
Safe journey home man. Your pup will be anxiously awaiting your return I’m sure.
Talk to ya soon. Stay strong buddy!

Oh Man, that bites! I'm sure you know you're not alone. Can't say I've ever heard the term 'chemo' and 'gentler on the body' in the same sentence. I feel for you. I had a tumor removed from my cheek a year ago but didn't need chemo; radiation was bad enough. Hang in there and don't rush the recovery...listen to the docs. All the best to you.

Been wondering where you took off to? So sorry to hear about this my friend. I keep looking for you to pass me in the Bear Trap Canyon or see you in the Bozone. Recover and put this behind you. Let me know if there is anything you need... ANYTHING

Brent,

Well that was not what I wanted to hear….. My personal experience with Cancer is that it is a nasty journey. Be prepared that you may never be permanently clear but it is something that you have to live with and can. All the best brother. You will make it!

Brent,

I am so sorry to hear this. Totally rooting for you and prayers are going out to you and your family. Yes, too many people coming down with cancer.

Stay focused and never lose the faith brother

Best to you and your family.

Prayers for you Brent! Been spared melanoma, but have enough other skin cancer treatments that I'm always thankful when I come away from my dermatologist with all the same parts that I went in with. The stuff is no joke and I'm praying that you will have a full recovery.

Take him up on it Brent, Kent is a great guy. And Kent, you won’t believe what a cool spot Brent has. That three mile road to his house keeps the riff-raff out, or in.

I hope you get better, and finally get driving the car.

Carbs work fine, get them setup and start driving.

Thanks everyone for all your support! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

@flyer86d Yes. I keep trying to emphasize that to my aging mother who keeps wanting to hear a declaration of "all clear." I keep trying to tell her that it isn't likely to happen, but cancer like mine that was a nearly certain death sentence not many years ago is now a manageable disease.

@76-914 I think that would be WAY cool and would love to give it serious thought. Now is not the time but the time will come. I am worried if we did this I would somehow wind up with a Japanese lump in my engine bay though! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Yesterday was a nice day so I did peel off the car cover and drove the teener to my doctors appointments. It aggravated the hell out of my surgery but damn it was worth the pain. The car runs absolutely sublime after spending last summer dialing in the carbs to a gnat's ass even after sitting for the winter. Sure, the carbs run fine but there are many reasons they have to go. We'll get there.

Had kind of a surreal experience in the 2 1/2 hours in the infusion chair yesterday. I bought a new DD from a dealer 1500 miles away while there. Us old farts know that is sorcery. We've been looking for a RAV4 Prime for a year but can't get them out here due to supply shortages. Toyota simply will not allocate them to Montana dealers and other western dealers won't sell them out of state. I noticed that east coast dealers were starting to build inventory on their lots so started contacting some. Didn't take long to find the right car and make the deal. With this car, we'll be able to fuel 80-90% of our driving that is local commuting with solar power off our roof and have very fuel efficient transportation for longer trips. I estimated it could cut the payback time for our solar system by as much as 1/2. Pretty excited about that. It won't replace the Porsche as "the fun car" though. BTW, any advice on choosing a shipper welcome. I have a ton of quotes to sort through.

Thanks again all!

Hi Brent - I have shipped a few cars back and forth. Try to find an owner/operator who picks your new Rav up at the dealership and is actually the one who delivers it too.

Most transports now are handled by brokers who accept the job and then the car is leap frogged on many different carriers to get to you. In my opinion, that is not good.

Have the dealership shoot all around high quality photos of the Rav right before it rolls up the ramp to be loaded and once it arrives you inspect it closely for damage.

Good luck on all fronts my friend.
