      Well, I don’t think you should’ve been racing at that time. You should’ve been taken care of your health specially, on some of the major on at that time you could’ve hurt somebody and then you wreck, and you breathe in a bunch of smoke that wasn’t very smart of you And you haven’t been that smart all your life and I don’t want to be on your ass when you’re sick but you should’ve been taking care of yourself and be at home race and will be there when you get done with your treatments. God bless I’ll pray for you.

    Mike, on Oct 18th 2019 at BMP (North Georgia).
    It was my first time out of the house in 9 months...Why was that, I walked up to you and asked for a picture. I told you why and it was because Mary was fighting stage 4 Breast Cancer..we talked and you asked to Face Time Mary and tell her "To Fight and you would Pray for her".
    With that said anything I can do I'll do Mike.
    You and your family are in our Prayers.
    As you told her, Don't Give Up and Fight, I tell you the same Mike..!!
    BTW, Mary's Breast Cancer is gone and has not come back.
    Thank You Mike for that face time as it ment so much to her when she couldn't be there to see you.
    Your in our Thoughts and Prayers.
    F** Cancer..
    You got this..!!

      In January 2021 I had a heart attack and was admitted to the VA Hospital in ATL where I was surrounded by covid patients. My thoughts kept telling me that this was it and there was no way I could recover from heart surgery and battle all the bugs and jabs. I leaned on Jesus and continually praised Him for what He was doing in my life. I had no visitors for the entire 4 weeks that I was in the hospital. My only comfort was the promise that Jesus made to me in His Word that said He would never leave me or forsake me. I was covered in a blanket of His Presence and Peace. He alone was my shield and He alone was my deliverer. Jesus is Faithful. Did I suffer? Was I in pain? Was I at times fearful? Absolutely, but I continued to Praise God for His love for me, His Blood that washed away my sins, and His healing power that He graciously poured out upon me. Whether He healed my physical body or He healed me by bringing my spirit into Himself where He sits on The Heavenly Throne, I had His Peace that surpasses all natural understanding. My hope is that everyone that is going through trials and testing as we were foretold that we would have to endure, Call upon the Name above every name, His Name is Jesus Christ, and it's only through Him that you can have life. Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life and no one can have access to eternal life with The Almighty Father of all spirits unless they go through His Beloved Son, Jesus! Call upon the Name of Jesus Christ and you will be saved from being separated from Him and escape the punishment set aside for all rebellious spirits that rejected His love.

      I contracted covid in Jan '20, before it really started to hit. One of the 1st confirmed cases was someone who had been to China & worked as a local grade school janitor.
      I was sick as heck for 3 wks, (later determined it was covid as I starting learning about it. ), then was exhausted for 2 more weeks.
      At the end of those 5 weeks when I finally had the energy to shave my overgrown winter beard, I found a lump under my R ear. About the size of a ping pong ball w/ 25% above the skin.
      With a medical background, I knew this wasn't good, & immediately told my PC doc. By this time, covid was picking up steam & an upcoming appt, where she said she'd chk the lump was changed to a vid appt.
      She scheduled a CAT scan 'bout a month later & necrotic lymph node was the diag. Then a PET scan another month later confirmed.
      Another month goes by & I was sent to a surgeon about having the dead cell lymph node removed.
      I go to a medical school for my PC & other docs. By this time, we're in covid lock down. Within 5 minutes of seeing this surgeon, he tells me I have HPV related throat cancer in my R tonsil & it's into my lymph node because they are side by side.
      The things we learn in life. Next thing I know I'm getting a non-explanation of my treatment options, w/ surgery being necessary due to the dead lymph node. So, highly uninformed, I choose surgery, then radiation, only to learn if I have radiation, no fillings or crowns, & I'm 66, at that time, so June '20, they pull all my teeth. July '20, the tonsil & node surgery; 'neck dissection' is the accurate term.
      B4 I'm out of the hospital, am told rad is not needed.
      By Jan '21 the 2nd ear ache of my life started; the 1st being from the cancer tumor. I tried to tell myself it was allergies, but within 3 months, was told the cancer was back.
      Did 7 weeks of rad & 7 chemo doses in Fall '21, ending mid-Oct.
      I was a very healthy, active 66 year old when this all started. Worked physically, like I did in my 30-40's.
      I got stronger & healthier during the 7 wks of treatment. Yeah, I had the rad effects, but no chemo sickness. Then, 4 days after treatment ended, the freight train, bus & semi hit me.
      Was bed-ridden for 4+ months, could not sit up on my own for 1st two. I'm approaching 18 months post treatment.
      I still have a G-tube in my belly as my saliva glands don't work enough to swallow. I also have 1st Bite Syndrome, (FBS), since the neck dissection in '20.
      This may all be old hat to you, but FBS is hell. It's like being stabbed w/ an ice pick, just below your ear whenever you put something sweet, sour, dry which normally might cause that little twinge in your jaw.
      Did you go thru either lack of saliva production or FBS?
      I am in the doldrums of how slow recovery from cancer treatment is, & can't get straight answers from docs.
      Any advice, knowledge you've gained & can share would be greatly appreciated.
      I'm so glad you've battled away yours.
      Regards,
      GeoD

    My grandma had lung cancer. How awful it was for us. Had 1½ lungs removed and still held on! She lived until 87. You got this! Cancer is just a word, the mind is what makes you lose sense of reality. Don't let a word destroy your life! Get out there and do what you love. You only have 1 shot at this life, make it worth it! Don't be afraid to break out of your comfort zone and push yourself! Army is a great way to learn about mental control. If you tell your mind it's not bad, your body will react as well. As they did a study on people with colds... They found out, your body doesn't respond to the cold. Your mind does. Your mind tells you, you're sick. Sniffle and cough. But if you reverse that, you body won't pick it up without mind input.
    Good luck in your journey!

      DPS was using the 5.0 for their patrol cars.
      Just the previous month Mike’s black coupe made the cover of super ford magazine, his first ever cover.

    Stay strong Mike. This time last year I had stage 3 lymphoma and had to get almost TWO LITERS of fluid drained of my chest every two weeks or else I couldn't walk 5feet without oxygen. Totally understand the "what I gotta do to get better" attitude. I was wondering what was wrong so my diagnosis actually gave me something to fight instead of a blind undiagnosed illness. Shortly after I had chemo which really sucked but today I'm cancer free and getting back to my life and very physically demanding job. People recover and there is life on the other side.

You still have more to do sir, so please take all these survivors’ experiences, and drag cancer’s ass as aggressively as you do to opponents on the track. You’ve been up against the odds, and prevailed. You will do the same with your health, and join these other posters as a survivor and winner.
