So looks like I'll be out of trucking for the next 6 months to a year. Thought I was having bad acid reflux. But got to a point where I was dehydrated and severely cramping. Called 911 just west of Albuquerque, NM. They got me hydrated and my potassium back up. But did a CT scan also. Found a 6cm mass. This was on Sunday. Turns out I have pancreatic cancer. Reflux was caused by the blockage. Seems to not have spread. However, need 6 months of chemo to shrink it. Before they can remove it. Using the Whipple surgery.

I believe it's time for some hibernation. Loaded Thursday at 1400 in Compton, CA. Sitting in West Greenwich, RI at 0345 Sunday morning. All times local, and looking forward to my purple pillow.

Hopefully the docs can cure you.

The prognosis with me isnt that great. Covid has made it that I am winded in just walking 15 feet. Its worse when its muggy. I cant even do a pretrip. So this summer I have to change back to class C. Not that I can get any work with the license anyways. It was a fun experience to turn miles. Something I will hold dearly in my memories. Yet my commercial driving is done.
