Wow, all the best to you and yours! While it completely sucks, you have the gift of knowing not to waste any time, choosing what's important, and to not leave things undone or unsaid - something most of us squander.

I am without words, Brad... I didn't know the cancer was getting that invasive... I wish I was closer to be able to help more... damn... damn... damn... damn...

Cherish the memories folks... and thank you for coming down to help out and for bringing the shocks.

If there is anything I can help with, just let me know.

All the best man.

And I did send up a good thought, when we pulled the car up right before this pass.

Sorry I didn't get the burn out but be assured it will do a monster one.

Back in the 40s Drs used to treat cancer with an IV of Vitamin C. Anywhere from 150-200000 mg. It kills the cells off and leaves your body undamaged.
Chemo kills about everythign and is full of carcinogens.
Of course it comes back with chemo..talked with some Drs about doing that to me . Been spending afew hrs a mo in the cancer center myself. Perhaps someone in Mexico would

Most of todays Drs may not want to do that the pharm cos want them to prescribe drugs. Theres no money in cures.
If you can find someone Brad it works. Cancer hates Vit C and cannot survive high doses of it.

I am sure that a Dr of that ilk would hit you with all the vit c you could ever desire.

Brad I have battling cancer for 8 years now. Have had surgery radiation and chemo .I am still not in remission.
Never give up.
When I started on this forum I was doing chemo and on many drugs. I told no one I just enjoyed everyone on the forum. You were the first one to offer to come by and help me fix something on my vet. I was thankful you explained so much about drag racing to me and I wish I would have had time to see you race at Famosa that video of you kicking ass will always be in my memory. I thought I had your number in my in box but after we changed to this new version of the forum my messages are gone. Pm me I would like to visit you in Lone Pine soon.

Steve,

You have mentioned the cancer before, I didn't realize it was still "active". That sucks.

Cancer is a nasty bitch... lost my older brother to brain cancer 11 years ago... friends lost, too.

If there is one thing I hope we can beat is cancer... we area getting closer, no question.

Brad Camino has been running for a few yrs
Has a solid roller stroker in it now
Its a beast but unfortunately it sits a LOT due to my sched.

Sold the Z to a freind yrs ago when I hit hard times its his DD. AFter driving it all summer with a stuck stat he cant kill that thing. Its looking a little rough around the edges as usage and the sun has gotten to it. Not pretty anymore but still a great car. Sometimes miss it just cant afford any more toys right now.

You came up one day when I was putting a water pump on it and finishing things up. Long drive just to help someone out appreciated it. That black beast you had sounded good. That one was running 11s no?
