Update: Got the biopsy results today! The bad news is the tumors removed from 4 days ago are unfortunately high-grade cancer which is assume could mean malignant? The good news, however, is they did not spread to other organs or to other parts of my body, so hopefully the cancer was caught early enough in time? I was also informed there is no reason to be concerned nor worried about the cancer as being fatal, for as long as it doesn't attach itself to muscles or spread to other organs? I will also be required to be reexamined every 3 months to find out if the tumors come back or not, and if necessary, the next treatment steps will then take place... I also have a follow-up appointment with my Urologist, this upcoming August 4th, so I'll have more information to update by then... In the meantime, I want to thank everyone for all their prayers and support, as they are very much appreciated, so I ask that you please continue to keep me in all your thoughts and prayers as much as possible, as I'll be needing them now more than ever...

Keep a positive attitude and stay on top of it...You've got this. At least they got it early it sounds like and can watch it closely. A lot of us tend to be stubborn and not go to the Dr. to get checked out but it's essential to do that so you are a good example to the rest of us to stay on top of our health!

Exactly right, Tony! Despite the good news, it's the scary news that worries me more than anything... So please keep those hopes and prayers in your thoughts my brother.

Thank you, Ken! Like you said, great news is they got it early enough and did not spread to other organs, so now it's up to the Urologist to make certain it doesn't come back... Meanwhile, continue keeping me in your thoughts and prayers, my friend.

Thank you, Shaney and I hope that Shane is your real first name, as I don't remember having asked before lol. Anyway, the news is like you said very positive, but also scary at the same time...Meanwhile, the Urologist intends to follow-up every 3 months to be reexamined in order to check the progress of my bladder... So, in the meantime, please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers to whip this thing...

Thank you, Paul! And thanks to all of you, it most definitely does help in maintaining a positive attitude... So yes, it does appear they got it early and are watching closely which is the reason they want to follow-up every 3 months to be reexamined, and most of all, it is in fact very essential to always stay on top of our health, as none of us can afford to take it for granted, especially as we get older...

Sorry I'm just getting around to checking on ya......been hectic and I'm beginning to really hate my job. They don't pay me enough for this crap! But I am glad to hear everything went well and good luck with the follow-up appointment on Friday!

I completely understand Jill and figured there had to be a really good reason, and with things being hectic at your job is one of the very top reasons, to say the very least... In the meantime, it would seem that everything went well with the surgery, and I'll provide more details following my follow-up appointment with the Urologist on Friday...
On another note, I think my car is a ringer. I've had high powered cars for 30 years. Built motors, blowers, even full blown race cars. There's no way this car is 760hp. It's just too dang fast, I mean stupid scary fast. I'd like to Dyno it, gotta be a ringer.
Absolutely locked in our prayers as well Rocky!!!
If you've got a clear sky check that big beautiful super moon tonight and another super blue moon arriving at the end of August. I'm outside on my deck in August and it's in the 60's here. I cannot recall such gorgeous cool weather in all my years living here!

Thank you, Lee! On your lighter note, Ford is well known for underrating it's HP/TQ specs to keep the insurance industry and EPA police off their backs.

Thank you, Gary! I will most definitely look for the super moon tonight.

I ain't figured out yet how they kept the Fed noise police from it, only thing I can figure is the quiet mode was used during testing. Because this thing is LOUD even in normal on a cold start, sport is a bit louder, but track is crackling popping loud lol.

It would seem to make the most sense to me as well Lee about quiet mode being used during testing...
I know on my car Ford had installed baffles on my side exhaust to keep the noise down probably for just that reason. I believe most of us removed them ASAP!

Only thing I can figure, will elaborate below, I know mine gets put in track soon as it cranks lol.

I remember those, people even sold them with different size openings.
I've watched countless new hellcats, demons, vettes, ZR1 etc come across the block on Mecum and Barrett Jackson and never heard one of them audibly when they fired it up to drive on across the block.
But EVERY 2020 up GT 500 they've brought through was blatantly obvious when they fired it up, even the announcers have commented multiple times about the sound of it.
