Chief1942 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 About a week ago I got an examine due to some speaking process in my life. The issue wasn't having most of my capable of flying DCS and even the F-18C and almost all of the new stuff. I am not any thing but a single flyer so I don't get challenged with the abilities of you young flyers. Heck, studying the new stuff and doing okay. Well, it turns out my medical issue turns out to brain cancer directly affecting my speak brain speaking ability. Had surgery and have quite a bit of cancer treatment to get rid of the issue. I have just returned home after the surgery and am awaiting the several months treatment. I thought, what the heck, how the heck is this medical issue affecting my ability to fly the DCS aircraft that I have for years. Went to the P-51D, which I prefer older aircraft, and although there is some definite getting back into the proper procedure, I did okay. Was able to win the air to air battle against the German aircraft. There are some medical issues that need to be fixed to get me back to the prior capability, but DCS is a major for training for my new medical issue. At 76 years old, what a wonderful access for me to get through this. Thank you DCS.

Chief1942 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Thank you Javelina1, fellow Arizona. This issue has been to my benefit to have access to a great medical that deals specific with this illness. But, as I stated, I am very pleased as the level of DCS and the proof that actually be an asset to my recover for my problem.

outlawal2 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 All the best to you with your current struggles.. It is great to see that our shared obsession can remain a great hobby even when more important issues come knocking on our door.. I hope to follow your excellent example and intend to fly long past my 70's as well... Take care and keep exercising that brain.. I can't think of a better way than with DCS! Keeps the mind busy along with hand / eye coordination and great fun! All the best to you! (And I agree you should stay away from the news... I do!) "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence."

Chief1942 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Outlawal2, Thanks, and you are right, just staying involved with these types of programs (DCS) are actually a physical improvement even above ALL the enjoyment of simply making believe we have some of that true ability.

Chief1942 Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 Wags, I simply want to make sure how surprised ,even with ALL the enjoyment DCS has provided me with the enjoyment over the years. that this business you are so much part of, is actually beneficial and helpful with my current problem. I never thought I would experience the brain cancer, but as they treat me for it, what I have enjoyed from you folks for years is helpful as well with my situation.Thank you Intel i5-4690K Devil's Canyon, GForce TitanX, ASUS Z-97A MB, 16GB GDDR3 GSkill mem, Samsung SSD X3,Track IR, TM Warthog, MFG Crosswind pedals, Acer XB280HK monitor,GAMETRIX KW-908 JETSEAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallberries Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Just wanted to say that I was dx with a rare, relatively benign cancer about 6 years ago, following a succession of a dozen mini-strokes, give or take. My primary symptom was aphasia, or difficulty with speaking and comprehension. Other challenges involved memory and concentration. My point is, is that over time things have gotten better. Despite the fact that I'm no kid anymore, I have healed and recovered most of my lost faculties. Hang in there, it takes time, but it will come.

Chief1942 Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thanks everyone. Totally new situation for me, but must say, even though going to the treatment for the problem, I STILL enjoy flying DCS because that has been very great for me for many years.

Chief1942 Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Bun, Thank you and so many that wish me the best. Might seem odd, but I do spend most of my computer time right here on this DCS forum more than anywhere else. At least here, there are people who are as aware as I am as to just how much enjoyable it is.

Chief1942 Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Chief not doing so good My husbands Brain cancer has progressed and he is no longer able to "fly" This breaks my heart because he loved this hobby so much. I do need to find someone who can use his equipment... he has a lot of it. I'd like to get something for it mostly I want it to go to someone who'd enjoy it nearly as much as he has. Chief 1942 is still hanging on ...Praising his Lord and loving his family. I know he misses you all and his flights.
