10th Anniversary Colon Cancer Awareness GAW - - - Winner selected!!!!

Not an entry, but glad to hear you came out of it fine. I just lost a couple family members to cancer recently. Good luck to you and thank you for this generous offer.
 
I'm in! Thanks for the chance.

Glad to hear that yours was discovered and treatable before it was too late. I'll post more in the GKD thread.
 
Not an entry, but just wanted to say congrats on beating the cancer! Nice of you to celebrate with such generosity and helping to raise awareness for a great cause. .
 
Not a BK&T convert, yet, but am hoping for the best for you and your family.

"I'm in."

Thanks for the chance.
 
I was just gonna congratulate you and wish you good luck with a non entry comment till I finished reading your op, my Father In Law eventually died of colon cancer, he had a full colostomy with the bag and all, I never saw a man go from being strong and independent to such depths of depression and becoming so dependent on his family.

In the end things started looking up as it often does for the victims of such advanced stages of cancer, thru reverse the colostomy at his request and he got 3 more years, he got to see his grandaughter and see a few more Christmases.

Having the colostomy reversed gave him back some of his dignity but when the cancer advanced he got worse quick. In the end he was kept comfortable with meds but they zoned him out so much he rarely knew who anybody was.

I'll never forget the day he passed it was a Friday the 13th the day before my birthday and the day we closed on our newly built house.

Folks, ask your parents and siblings about a family history of cancer and get checked out regularly, really detection can save your life.

Congratulations on the 10 year anniversary and good luck to everyone else.

BTW, I don't have a Becker yet so this would be a great opportunity to get one, I'm in thanks.
 
Cancer sucks, too many people I know have been inflicted with it. It is great to hear you made it through! My mom has had breast cancer..twice! My step dad has mesothelioma and was given 6-12 months to live... 7 years ago and he is still living. I can keep going as we all can I am sure but the will to live is a big part of recovery. Here's to you and your will!

Thanks for the giveaway, I am in, I have always wanted a 2 to go with my 9:)
 
Oo, I'm in!
Thanks for the chance man and great fight against cancer!
Got troubles myself with the tubes, and it is not fun.. (though not anywhere near cancer, just a touch of Crohns...)
 
I,m in near the last minute mark,
I can't believe how many people cancer effects, my mother in law died at 54, my father at 52 and now my father in law just had 19 polyops removed and a 4inch mass which he refuses to let them remove,
 
Congratulations Z, I lost my grandfather to colon cancer and there's more of it in the family.

You're sister being 23, that scares me now. Didn't think to get screened that young
 
I'm in, I could use a new becker. Thanks for beating the cancer to get the chance to give me a new BK-2:D:D:D. In all seriousness I have never met you, most likely never will but thanks for surviving. A dear friend of my dad suffered through prostate cancer and luckily he survived but he is still rather weak from the whole ordeal. I don't think I could have seen him go, He's like a second father. Ill tell you though hes's fallen down cliffs, been bucked off horses, got shot in the arm with a handgun, shot in the leg with an arrow, been stabbed a few times by rebar around construction sites, had the shit beat out of him more than once, had an axe in his foot and beat cancer. He's one tough SOB.
 
I'm in! Thanks for the chance.

Oddly enough, I had a similar surgery (not for colon cancer) and the surgeon used similar language (e.g. "put it back kinda where it was...sort of...maybe")

:eek:

T - PM/email me your shipping address.

Thank you to everyone who entered, and also to those who simply read my message. Passing on awareness of colon cancer, it's detection and treatment is a passion of mine due to direct exposure to its effects. Please pass your new knowledge of this disease on to those you care about.
 
Just stopped in to see who won the bk2 and saw it was me, also was in the "...what's your first knife for 2014" thread and thought, "I have nothing coming this year so far, I was just happy that I got the BFC traditional forum knife.

I'm very happy to have won, I thought about it before I decided to say yes as I've won a few GAW last year but your story, the reason for the giveaway and the fact that I have never had a Becker led me to enter.

This will definitely get used as I live out in the weeds of Pennsylvania with woods all around me so it will see use along with my Ontario SP 8 it will become part of my yard work gear.

Also I hope this is a preview of the type of year I'm going to have. :)

Thanks again, going you and yours along with all the BFC family out there have a great New Year.
