i'm back    not doing to badly having to be careful not to get any infections    ARD's are a nightmare all 25 off them having to take them forever side effects not recommended, hopefully be at Claymore if I get the ok 

Hang in there kid

Good for you, Smokie !!  

Hope the side effects diminish, in time....Bloody heck...What you've been through, I can only imagine.
Take care, Matey !......and keep away from any 'bugs'.

Very best wishes - Phil

Forgive me.

ARDs?

What are they?

I am awaiting another CT scan to tell me if I have cancer anywhere else.

Great news

Very good news, Smokie! Hope that you'll continue to soldier through and get back to enjoying life.

You as well, Jim. Hope that you get good news from your scans.

Well according to interweb ARD can be a number of things:

Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Öffentlichrechtlichen Rundfunk anstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland - ... err ...of course.
Auxiliary Repair Dock - we've all been there
Automatic Ring Down - quickie divorce?
Acid Rock Drainage - perhaps Techno could enlighten us?
Addiction Recovery of the Deaf -
Appliance For Ringo Detonation - I have no idea what that is, but I think it's a John lennon invention
Alcohol Related Dementia - perhaps in other forum members?

but I think it's

Acute Respiratory Distress - which sounds flippin' awful.

Glad to hear you're on the mend.

Acute Radiation Dermatitis, but no picnic either.

Good to hear you're back on your feet and making progress.  We'll hopefully see you at Claymore!

thanks all 

ARD's = anti rejection drugs

After what you've gone through, also means you're 'ard!    Good to hear from you (was beginning to fear the worst). All the best.

Except FSN, of course

All the best Smokie & Jim
