funny thing happened to me, and why i havent answered
 

i havent answered or done a lot here in a while and i think its time you all knew why, not making excuses, just asking for a little patience. and i think of you as family so. 3 weeks ago a lump came up on my neck, very small but i had a little pain in the back of my neck. long story short when i went to the ear nose and throat dr he looked and sent me straight to uk that was yesterday 6/02, and thats where i am now at the uk markey cancer center. im still waiting for all the tests i had yesterday, scope, blood,ct , mri and biospy. when i find out, if your interested, i wiil try to post. for some reason i cant get my email yet so i have to get that going asap. seems things arent looking that good of the options and kinds it seems i dont have the kind that they remove the thyroid and its gone but nothing definite yet, they have the swelling under control and i should know more tomorrow

well i have a answer although not what i wanted at all im home now and my email still is down but here's the story, i have a rare type of thyroid cancer for a person my age, i have to go for more tests but so far it looks like they gave me 3-6 months. so heres the invitation if you want come by and meet me all i can make available is yours maybe you can put together a china riders meeting your welcome but plans will have to be made quickly my voice is fading fast and i would like to meet a few of you and i still have a few bikes but thats not the point at all, i know some or most of us may not have the extra income but it looks like the shop parking lot will be empty for a camper or whatever and your welcome to ride, drive or fly (we have a airport) . i consider you my friend and its a privilege to know you.

Hey Phil,
That's some news. You're in my prayers.
It's been a privilege for me to "meet" you here on ChinaRiders
Not too far from Nashville, I will try to make a run up there soon.
Hang in there.
Bill

Phil, thank you for letting us know your diagnosis. I also consider you my friend. I have family in Pennsylvania, and if I get anywhere near Virginia, I will certainly try to come visit you. Hang in there; we will continue to pray for you. All things are possible for God.
