Amalor Myrnnyx Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer 11 years ago, given 6 months tops. A pharmaceutical company in Canada offered to test an experimental form of chemo on me. They gave me three percent. When it does, the doctors told me they gotten it all. While still in the hospital, I did this: Needless to say, I've been really stretching that three percent. 11 years later, I'm still clean. This year, I was unpacking a bunch of Mechs I'd forgotten, and found that Valkyrie. It inspired me to do a new one to celebrate life, and a love of painting. Please enjoy, and think about how quickly life can change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug's Workshop Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Thanks for sharing. And congratulations. I just keep seeing the 'mech's RIO staring at his target acquisition screen and muttering "Dang it, we got that blue screen of death again! Stupid second-hand recycled Kurita off-market chips . . . Oh, crap." Cheers, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nytflyr Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 You are an inspiration, my wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, but we found it in time, so she is on the long road to recovery. you are right we must "celebrate life". Thank you so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerdrew Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Nice painting on these. Glad you survived the cancer. Having witnessed what chemo does to a person (my wife had breast cancer 2 years ago), you did well to get these painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
