Cancer Stinks! But...

PASQUINELL · July 10, 2023, 02:41:35 PM

Hello everyone! It's been a long time away from this site and truly missed. In early October in 2020 I was mowing for the last time before deer season and noticed shortness of breath.

Well , I heard the words that nobody wants hear. " I'm sorry. But you have stagev4 cancer of the lungs and giving you 15 months to live" Well as you can imagine, my world really changed. Wheelchair, oxygen 24/7 for six months etc.

Anyway, I could no longer bow hunt which hurt almost as much as my chest did. By God's grace, lots of prayers and Chemo , I am going on three years and just bought myself a 59 Kodiak!!! So excited and looking forward to some woods time!Lighter poundage than my Robertsons but it will be awesome. I'm glad to be back!!!

Love your spirit, never say never, except never give up.

PASQUINELL · July 10, 2023, 09:51:36 PM

Thank you all. They say that I will eventually succumb to it but I'm gonna go out doing what I enjoy as long as I can. Looking forward to letting the Cedar fly tomorrow. Three years since I smelled the woods and I may even chew on a few oak leaves this fall! Good hunting to you all.

Best of luck in the woods!

Sending prayers of strength and healing.

That's fantastic news Pete.
Cancer is terrible, been going through it with my wife. She lost half her left lung 3 years ago. Now has a tumor on the right lung but at the moment it's not cancer.
Enjoy your new bow.

Prayers for your continued cancer free state! Good luck to you this season, but it sounds like it is already a success!

PASQUINELL · July 11, 2023, 10:27:56 AM

My new coffee and Cedar in the morning location. About 5 miles from my house and will be going there every other day! Thank you for the well wishes and prayers. I am taking Chemo pills in the morning still but they go down easier knowing I'm going here after!!

I have a son in Austin and may have to seriously consider going to hunt some hogs with you guys!!!
