Welcome back Brother, you have been missed !!!
Thanks brother!
@@ratrodsafrica Take care of YOU !!
Absolutely and thought about
Just don't over do yourself ,it's easy to do . We are all here for you and praying for a complete recovery
I'm not a religious man but know that my wishes for your full recovery is sincere. Be well
You fought the battle and are here for a new life. Congratulations! My wife is a survivor of stage 4 colon cancer. She had a pump for 4 months putting chemo into her heart while getting weekly radiation. Two weeks of cooling and then surgery, followed by 6 months of more chemo. She has been clear for 20 years now. It's a battle worth fighting and your wife is going to be glad you are tuff enough to go through it. Appreciate everyone and every day.
A so sorry to hear that brother.
I haven't met you yet brother. But.. you are still more life than anything!! Don't give up before I meet you.. please.
@@sufferedenuf what a journey! Please give your wife my love and admiration for seeing through her fight and winning it
Budget builds has the same exact car as the Renault ..might want to peek
All that time I thought something was wrong and I wish I was wrong. Prayers for you.
Good to see you again. I missed your videos so much. I complained to my girlfriend every day that I didn't see one. You are an inspiration to many of us. I am impressed on how you do so much with just hand tools. I'm so glad that you are doing better. Get well soon so we can watch you work your magic. Thank you Diff!
Thank you Jack. Appreciate
Good to see you back in action Diff. Continue getting better every day 🇨🇦
Congratulation to the Big C survivor. Thank You and Respect to his better half for taking good care of him. Whenever you're ready, we're here .
So proud of you for sharing your story Dad
Thanks to my beautiful daughter! Proud of you too, kiddo!
Very cool ❤️
@@shanadevilliers517 Hello Shana, as you already know, your Father is an amazing wealth of knowledge and talent. And he is soooo loved and respected, in this community and real life as well. Hope you and your family are all doing well ✌🏻🤗
Great to see you back in the shop brother!! You’re an inspiration to all of us. Life hits pretty hard sometimes and all we can do is try to stand up again and keep on keeping on! Thanks to your darling wife too for helping you through!
Thanks! My dear wife has been a pillar of strength through all this. I'm blessed to have her
Glad you are back ...I was jonesing(missing) your content.....you know you ought to introduce that lovely woman that takes care of you and puts up with your shenanigans...take it day by day and do what you can
Yay! My shop teacher is back and healing! Get stronger every day! Prayers for you and yours. Your loyal student, Rex
Thank you Rex! So happy to hear I can teach a little something ☺️
Glad to hear you are doing well. My father went through the same thing, he has been going strong for 40 years since.
That's inspiring! Give him my regards.
I’m a little speechless hearing what you’ve been going through. Sure sounds like your health is trending upwards and hope it continues. My wife has been battling cancer for a few years and remains in remission. As you know her forehead will perspire while her feet are freezing but you and all of us forge ahead one day at a time. I feel privileged to be one of your subscribers and you make the world a better place!
Give my love and congrats to your wife! Not an easy journey, she's a tough one!
I did not know. But I'm so happy to hear you are Cancer Free ! Thank you God ! I have the same neuropathy crap. And Sciatic pain. I have leaned to ignore it. Hell I'm 73 doing good
Working on my projects too. Stay well my friend.Juan Barturen from Loretto, Tennessee
Ugh, I'm only 42 and I've been dealing with sciatica my whole adult life and neuropathy in both arms and legs and the beginnings of arthritis or something in my hands since about 40. My project is a plain old vw powered sand rail. I just can't figure out this damn progressive carburetor. I haven't been able to ride since November
Thanks Juan. Seems a lot of folks have to deal with the neuropathy BS. If that's the price I have to pay to be healthy otherwise, I'll take it😄
Colon cancer runs in both sides of my family. Knowing what you have been through, I am impressed with two things, your awesome attitude, and how much you got done while battling it!!! Every video you post will be that much more special to watch! Div, you are in my prayers.
Thanks brother! I have a semi-colon now 😅
Stay Strong My Brother. Welcome to the "Remission/Survivors Brotherhood!" The shop is a place of mental healing, and each advance in the projects is a victory for the physical body.
Fantastic news. So pleased that you are regaining your health. Had a similar scare about 2 years ago, so I can simpathize with your problem.
So pleased that you are back in the workshop and will be producing more videos.
Best Wishes for the future.
Rgds Barry B.
Inspiring to hear from another survivor! Well done!
@@ratrodsafrica I had stage 4 Multiple Myeloma. The docs said I had the worst labs they had seen and gave me limited options. Now, 3 years in remission, I am happy to get in the shop and tinker with every project, even if the progress is slow. Strength and Peace upon you, Brother.
@TheTraakon well done brother! Let's keep showing the cancer the middle finger 😅
My daughter recently was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I pray she has your courage and grit Div.
