Well guys, not really sure how to type this, as I can barely think and see straight. Sleep has been few and far between, stress to the worst degree.
I recently found out my best friend, classmate and basically a brother to me for over 25 years has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer. His body is already covered with this crap:mad:

It started by him having ongoing knee issues, so he goes to the Dr. and they do an X-Ray MRI. Immediately there was concern for a spot on his left leg, above the knee that was giving him paint. Well, after examination by a few Drs. of the MRI, they decided to do a "PETSCAN" (sp)? This MRI basically covers the entire body to look for possible signs of cancer anywhere else in the body, and to reconfirm what was originally seen in his thigh. Well, after this scan he was diagnosed as having cancer in his left shoulder, his kidneys, his lungs, his spine, his left knee, and his thigh.:mad: He has progressively gone downhill fast and the stresses upon his wife,kids, and myself is intolerable! I'm sure some of you can relate if you'd been in any situation even close. IT F'n sux!

I've started an internet family donation fund for his family to help with bills, food, and all other expenses including medical. The reason I am doing this, as well as local benefits, is that other than being there daily for him and the financials I can help with, I want to ensure his remaining quality of life is not affected by lack of money. I don't want his wife to worry about the bills, mortgage, anything period until she is able to do so on her own accord. His parents are local and have both been working few hours so they can be beside him to accomodate him through this.

Honesly, I really hate to even ask this of my VTCOA family, but I have to pray that it can help like a good karma as I have helped people I don't know personally as well, on this forum and others I frequent.

If any of your are willing to donate even the smallest amount it would be heaven sent.

A little backround on my best friend of 25+ years.........................
cueball flyer.jpg

Trinity Jason Weaver AKA ( CUEBALL) is going to be 38 years old this April. This is the kind of friend we all wanted to have as a kid. We grew up in the same area, went to the same school. We chased girls through Junior High as well as played football through Junior High into our Junior year. We both were Car Nuts from the get go, so that was a natural click! We've spent years as awesome friends and in the early days, everyone knew where one of us was, the other was likely there as well. Even our girlfriends knew if we were to be found, just look for the other.
He got his nickname of (CUEBALL) for 2 reasons. Reason 1 was he had an unfortunate balding of hair that was genetic and at 16 he had lost a bit up top. Well, immediately after graduation we convinced him to quit covering up with hats all the time and shave it bald! Well, he has shaved his head daily ;)for the past 20 years! Reason 2 was his being all but born on a pool table. He grew up with a pool table in the house as well as being at local bars with his POPS hustling pool. Shooting Pool is his favorite pass time! For years, his world revolved around pool tournaments across Central Texas. He loved that as much as his women I think. Until he met one about 12 years ago that maked him stop in his tracks and fall in love! Monica, his wife, has been beside him in good and bad, sickness and health since day one. Their children grew up to be great kids and parents and are very supportive to this day! He has been the guy most guys hope to be. A happy family, loving children, and his best bud are all he needed in life. Well, all except for his "HOT ROD";) His 1973 Buick Electra 225 2 door Limited. It was his grandparents car since new and Jason would always tell stories of him going to the
Drive- in movies and him sitting in the package tray in the back window layed out across watching the movie. ( To those not sure of what a 73' Buick Electra 225 2 door look like, it resembles a Cadillac, longer than a Suburban by a foot, has 455 CI of Buick Big Block, and rides like a boat on the ocean.)
At 15 years old we'd go to the pool halls with his Grandparents in the hopes while we played pool, they'd get hammered enough to let him drive " THE DUECE" home that night. Often enough it happened and the smile and look in his eyes when he got to drive that 23 foot long beast was a memory I'll never forget. I am planning to do a quick but nice restore to this same car for him in the VERY NEAR future as I know that would make his day for sure and he is no longer able to do the work.
Family is priority to Jason and he always makes sure everyone is having a good time at family get togethers. He was often the one other family members went to talk to about issues within the family for his advice on how to solve it without chaos. His kids growing up never had to think twice whether their dad would be at a game, or play, or whatever he'd be expected to attend. His goal was to never let anyone down. In taking that goal in life and excercising for many years, he's grown to be respected and cherished not only with family, but as his career as an electrician.

I'd keep adding more, but this had taken me a couple hours just to say a few things about this man, my buddy! This is very hard for me and the reason I haven't been to active on the forum as of late. This forum has been like a family to me and many others here, and when we have to deal with personal issues closer to home, you feel as if you neglect your VTCOA family and believe me, that's just not the case. I just don't have that time lately due to lack of sleep and stress that has been over my head. Some of you, most I've never even met, had called or texted me asking if all was good. That's when you know you have friends and family on this forum. A simple difference in something other than lack of posting was noticed by yall and I appreciate that. That means more than you know, guys!

If any of you would like to donate to help out please send a PAYPAL to

Sorry to hear about your friend.
I know how much Cancer sucks. I lost my Mom, my oldest sister, and now my other sister is very sick and is fighting for her life.
She will be very fortunate if she makes it through the year.
There is not 1 person on this earth that has not been touched in some way by this horrible disease.:(
 
sorry to hear about this man. been down the road more times than i am willing to admit. i wish i could help but i just got laid off so funds are tight. but i will send my prayers man hopefully they help.
 
I am so sorry about your best friends situation. You are a great guy to undertake this for his family. I am in no position to help financially at this point but I will scrape $25 to help the cause. I will do it in the next few days. Stay strong for your friend and try to make him laugh to keep his spirits as high as possible. God Bless!
 
You know I feel bud. You and ur friend have been on my mind since you told me what was going on today. It ain't much, but take the balance for the headers and put it in the collection fund. Much love brother. Be strong
 
Guys, YES prayers right now are most anyone can give and I/we need them sent by the dozens. For those who can or have helped, I Thank You from the bottom of my heart. Mushy is not me, but my body, heart, and brain feel like mush. Any of you who simply read this and think of him, I truly appreciate more than words can say. Keeping from crying is the hardest thing for me as a strong, grown man. It hurts my skull and cheeks I'm so on the verge of going F'n Nutz!

We are all crying for you man. Prayers sent.................
 
Having lost of few people from cancer myself, (including my first wife and two of my grandparents) I can somewhat understand what you are going through. To watch a loved one suffer through so much and to feel so helpless is something that cannot be described. Your kindness and support are what is most important at this point for him and his family. I am so very sorry to hear about what you are going through and this family will help any way we can. Keep us posted buddy....and as always, him, his family and you are in our prayers.
 
I know a lot of you dont know Scott's friend. But I can tell ya, the treatments that he's going through are expensive. And insurance doesnt cover that stuff 100%. Not to mention, the work that he's missing and the time off that his wife is taking. Every little bit will help. Even if it's only $10. One day you may need the same help. God willing, you won't. But you never know. And I believe in karma.:)
 
Bump for Friday. Please set aside a couple bux to help out if you can. Still need many prayers as well.
Thanks
 
Bump again guys. I know times are tight but see if you can spare anything to help this deserving family please:(
 
Venomous, I lost a true friend and brother of 28 years last April to cancer. It pains me to read your words. Many thoughts and prayers are being sent to you and your bud. Good luck through this, you have a long road ahead.
 
Guys, I am at a loss for words right now as the last post I did about my best friend Jason was his last day on earth:mad:
He lost his short battle with Cancer on Jan.23 at 11:45 PM with his wife, family and myself there for his last breath. It's been hard for me and his family for the past few weeks and the main reason I found little time to be on here.

I want to send a special Thank YOU to all of the members on here that donated to his cause. Funds collected have helped put a small dent in the accrued bills the family has been left with. Means the world to have donations for a guy not but a few of you have met in person, and for that matter, most that donated I have never met in person........yet!
A HUGE Thanks to you all. I ask that you keep myself and his family in your prayers! Hopefully the pain we are enduring will pass soon and leave only great memories of a great friend.
