What are friends for

This is a short story about a friend for two years I have been battling melanoma cancer but thanks to Gods grace and a lot of doctors and caregivers and family I am cancer free but my fishing has taken a huge setback and for the last 3months I may have caught 12 crappie but I have been slowly working back in the gruve just could not get a handle on the fish made several trips out on the lake with no results everybody was catching fish but I could not whether it was old age or chemo brain it just was not happening for me got depressed but kept fishing . My fish camp neighbor knew I was having trouble and took two days of his Christmas vacation and spent it with me on the lake his boat his truck his time his brain 89 slabs in two trips. I am so thankful for friends god and family and just so glad to be here.:biggrin

Glad to hear you are cancer free and back on the water. I really appreciate you sharing your story. I enjoy reading stories that include fishing with friends and family.

Glad to hear your feeling better. Nothing like good friends and family to enjoy a fishing trip with. It sounds like a fish fry is in somebodies future.

Awesome.

God is great and will be there at the end of line but good friends make journey a much more pleasant trip AMEN.

God Bless you and your neighbor!!! Get better...we'll keep praying for you.

Thank you for your post noslab. I was just treated the same by my buddy Nimrod, who worked hard and put me on some fish. The kindness of people in this world amazes me, and through recent experiences, I have been the recipient of much of it. It sure made me realize the need to "step up my game" in this department. To be treated like this is the most humbling, and most amazing experience. I am thankful.

Can't say enough good about your friend. You only get a few REAL ones in life. Great story. Thx for sharing it. Congrats on beating the cancer, and hats off again to your FRIEND!!!!! Sharing your time with someone important in your life is irreplaceable and priceless.

I really feel for you, been there and made it to. Cancer treatment is bad. Melanoma is the worst one. Interferon is the nastiest treatment. God be with you.

Congrats on being a survivor .

Great to hear. Thanks for sharing.

Great story, God is great

I know you got a lot out of those days, but I bet your friend got a lot too.....it's a really great feeling to help someone out. I don't like the term 'giving back', because it implies that you do something out of an obligation. Your friend wasn't 'obliged' to help you, but he did it because he's just a really nice guy. You'll remember those trips the rest of your life, and so will he.
