I've got a problem...

Scanner yesterday.I have 5 lumps and my body with one in each lung.They are pretty small.
I think it's not a good new.Still waiting for my appointment in marseille.

Thank you for the update, daily we hold you up, we will see what Marseille has to say! :sun:
 
The problems with doctors here is they don't say the true.My surgeon told me "you don't have a cancer!Just a lymphomia".What a joke!A lymphomia IS a cancer.Same story with the other doctor 3 weeks ago:"we can't cure a lymphomia but we can treat it".I said"ok I have seen that I could live around 5 years,may be less or more?"
"Mmmm..it's complex...blah blah blah..."Will the next appointment be better about the true?I guess not.My mood is beetwen low low mood and anger.I used to work in automotive paints(I would make colors)without any protection,for many years.Of course my boss didn't want to take care of my healt,he just wanted to make money.No mask,no protective gloves,no exhaust system of vapors,nothing.He will be alive when I'm dead.I should have stay unemployed if I had knew!I wanted to work,what a stupid guy I am.I'm already tired of doctors,scanners,IMR ect.Right now?Oh I pretend to work at my office.Waiting for the week-end,going with friends to an old bikes meeting on sunday morning.
 
It all seems so dark now. Hang in there. Focus on bright spots in life. The vintage bike meet. Hanging with friends. Your family. Even the friends you have though never met.

It won't always feel so dark.
 
I saw my doctor monday.Guess what?I have to see another doctor ..a specialist of lungs.
She thinks I have tumors (like I was in my eye)in my lungs.I asked if it could be a lung cancer(I used to smoke)but she said "no,absoluty not,I'm sure" that is a relief for me.
Despite of this I eat a lot,I work a lot,my sleep is good,just my mood is "grey"of course cause I worry about my lymphomia.I feel tired,almost exhausted sometimes but I believe it's psychological(OMG broken English,so sorry).The lung doctor should tell me if a biopsy is needed or if there will have drugs or x-ray or nothing.Waiting for weeks,for months is awfull!!
 
We'll be praying that whatever is going on with your lungs is not a major medical issue.
 
Thierry, you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Be strong and courageous!

Please do as above, I am! It's a shame it's taking so long, but that might be the best to make sure they are right & you're treated properly.
 
Hospitals are not very fun. I pray you get well and leave this chapter of your life behind you.

Thanks a lot guys for your support!
Yesterday I went to my suzuki dealer to change oil of my v-strom(I could do it myself but because of the waranty...)while they were working on it I tried a 1000 v-strom.The engine is awesome with a huge torque.The brakes are very powerfull.The bike is pretty light and easy to ride.However the price is too high:from 12,500 euros is not a right price and this is why:the quality of the paint,of the plastics and a lot of details reminds my 650 that cost only 8000.To me that bike should sold 10,000 and no more.
That is how I change my mind:after all riding is my first passion in my life!:rider:
 
If possible, I think you need to get out and ride more... and take pics. I'd love to see more of France from a rider's perspective ;-)
 
What a roller coaster of emotions, Thierry my wife and I are both pulling for you. I agree with Tourmeister, take a few rides and snap some pics and share.

I worked in France (Montrouge & Pau) for about 2 years all combined and you have a beautiful place to call home, I would love to see more of it.

Pulling for you bother!

What you used to live in pau?I used to live in tarbes!!(25 miles from pau).
I met a guy in Orlando FL who had lived in pau as well.Funny because it's a small town.

Hey Thierry... Lived may be to generous of a definition. I was working a rotation schedule from 1994-1997 28 Days on 28 Days off between the main campus in Montrouge (outside Paris) and the Learning Center in Pau. I was working for Schlumberger at the time.

I have fond memories taking the train from Pau to Barcelona.... ah to be young again!

I apologize if you shared previously and I missed it, what part of France to you call home today?
 
I live near the city of toulon between marseille and nice,in a small village.(south east)
I used to live in the south west for 4 yaers(1996/2000)but the weather made me crazy:rain,rain and rain!Here it's like california: sunshine,seaside,big traffic and the prices of real estate are mad.

Seen my "lung doctor"today(one of the best in the world,for real!).He told my that tumors(if they are tumors,he is not sure at all) are too small for a biopsy and according to him there is no link with lymphomia:after working 12 years making colors for cars paints without protection mask or anything(thanks boss...you made savings,you made money and I'm losing my health)it is "normal".He was not worried about it.No surgery or treatment for now.New appointment on july 11th with my "cancer doctor"it seems I will only have a check-up twice a year.So,in conclusion(I always wonder if you guys are able to understand my poor english):keep going to work hard and to play harder!(Oh wait..isn't a song from Gretchen Wilson?)ride free and enjoy the life.Good news..so far.Thank you to everyone for your prayers and your support.Thank you God to be so good with me,poor sinner,I know that I'm not good enough,I must work on myself to become better with people.
 
That is awesome news, Thierry! Awesome!
You just have to monitor your health now, is that correct?
Good news!
 
That's great news, Thierry!
And, my hope is in Jesus; His work covered ALL my sins. I hope you can find rest in that, too.
 
Update:so far everything's fine.Next month blood check and scanner for the whole body.
New appointment with my doctor(cancer specialist).I work a lot,I enjoy riding my bike,I bought new helmet,new gloves,new boots and new jacket a couple of weeks ago.At least my new stuff is waterproof(heavy rain sometimes here)and I have to ride every day to go working.I'm always hungry and I eat with pleasure.My sleep is good too.So my health seems ok so far but I can't forget my lymphomia.It's here,waiting for the good moment to appear for real.I had stopped posting about my sickness because I felt guilty reading other posts here.I'm not the only one with health problems or wathever and I said to myself"stop complaning,keep praying for people who need support".A few weeks ago I met a christian motorcyclist( a retired colonel of the army)who,I know,prayed much for me.I ididn't really know that guy and I could feel a strange positive energy coming from him.
