i read about a week ago that dave had been having some stomach problems and finally went to get things checked out and that he had a ulcer and a 7inch ( thats bigger than a softball!) tumor in his stomach that he had to get removed. i had briefly talked to drew , and asked about dave.. he said it seemed like everything was good. but today i read this ..
Smoker Dave's wife just posted an update on his health on Myspace:
Davey, is diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. We’re still waiting for result to see if it spread throughout his bones. The cancer isn’t life threatening and is treatable, so that’s good news. He just got surgery yesterday to remove 7” (that’s right Jimmy James, I said 7 inches) of his small intestines which were clogged with lymphoma. He’s seems to be doing OK, but then again he’s heavily drugged up. Right now he’s going through chemotherapy to shrink his tumor. Hopefully everything goes as the doctors have planned because I really do miss him here at home.
i have some experience w/ this disease. ( my father had it, but he didnt catch it til waay further down the road and it was much worse) and i know first hand how bad chemo is on the body. soo i wish dave the best of luck. be strong , stay positive, and know that the whole phx scene has your back, and youll be back to shredding in no time !
