War Eagle update

Well, the news was not what we wanted to hear today. PSA up to 14 this month. So, it's on to chemo. I guess it's time we started paying the aces that we have held up our sleeves.

Both Johnnie (my loving wife) and I are fine. Had the big cry earlier and are over it now. Don't you just hate gettin' hit by busses. We picked ourselves up and are ready to continue the fight.

One thing that I do want to say to all of my dear friends here is that your strength has always helped me and will continue to help me in my fight. With your help, and the Grace and Love of Jesus Christ, I will win this battle and win the war.

You know sometimes you just have to sit back and laugh at all this and thank God for what we have and what He has given us. My faith is strong and I still believe that there is a purpose for all of this.

I will keep you all informed as we start chemo next Thursday. I think next weekend is pretty well messed up now. At least I'll get out of yard work. There is a silver lining for every dark cloud.

I love you all and the War Eagle spirit still soars,

Walt

Hello Walt,

I'm really feeling for you and Johnnie, but I know with your positive attitute, and the chemo you'll beat this PCa. Please know that everyone of us is praying for you and Johnnie.

I pray that you'll have a successful treatment, and a full recovery. God bless you both.

Walt-

We're all standing behind you. You've been a great inspiration to me and I know you have the right "mindset" to beat this thing. Keep a stiff upper lip.

Hi Walt,
Per our talk earlier, Ketoconazole is the name of the drug I told you about. FLHW (David) can tell you more about it. It worked for a good while for him. He was able, and still has been able to avoid chemo to this point. I am still looking for your visit in the summer. The red carpet is getting cleaned and will be waiting to be rolled out.

You are a great friend of HealingWell, Walt Whited! And you are a dear friend to me. I will be speaking to our Lord everyday for you and Johnnie. I know you are singing again this weekend, so sing your soul loud. You are my hero, buddy!

Wow Walt. You have clearly won over the hearts at Healingwell. My heart aches for you and your family, but like you, I remain positive and prayerful that you will overcome this. Your spirit is infectious and we will all continue to lift you up in our prayers. Fight on friend!

Peace be with you,
Chayna

Hi Walt,

Ditto to everything that has already been said. Please know you have prayers coming from the great southwest too. I love your attitude towards this, it is so positive. I will say an extra prayer for you and your family.

Warm Wishes

Walt,
Your news was not what any of us wanted to hear. Just know you have thoughts and prayers coming from the snowy Northeast as well. You mean so much to so many of us on healingwell. Your positive attitude along with the good wishes from all of us here will see you through this bump in the road. Take care!
Best,
Mike

Sorry to hear your news, I have been following your history as well as others on this site and am always amazed at your positive attitude, and I know that comes from your faith in the One who is in control.  I have a friend who has a history similar to yours and he has been fighting it since the mid 90's and he is still going strong, traveling the state (Georgia) every week on his job and he has the same attitude.

My wife (an Alabama girl)  and I will keep you and others in our prayers.  I grew up just down the road from another War-Eagle (P. Dye), miss him and Dooley wars.

We are praying for your victory because when 1 wins we all win.

Dear Walt & Johnnie, A stepping-stone we don’t want placed in our path…   but when it appears we know we can step onto it and we will feel the strength from knowing we have a support team here on HealingWell. It brings happy tears to my eyes to see the support from friends who have a bond of love, understanding, and concern.   Our strength in numbers is so evident in the postings here and throughout the forum.   It reminds us all ~ how important it is to post the good, the bad, and the scary.   I am sending a special breeze to touch your cheek… letting you know we love you.   Your commitment to staying so close to all of us is a precious gift and we thank you.   Our gift to you are the arms that surround you both ~ on your journey…   A man of strength… a man who knows he has the spirit of the eagle and continues to fly toward the sun.
