Hang in there.

As an fyi....I have a friend going thru something similar. His oncologist told him to cut way back on sugar consumption and no alcohol (including wine). He told him that both help the cancer to grow especially alcohol. Following his advice the growth rate of his tumors slowed down.

I want to thank each and everyone for the kind words,thoughts and prayers and some have told me of natural remedies they have heard of that has worked for some. I do believe in some natural remedies.I do have a bottle of Ivermec coming from the Vet tomorrow thanks for the advice. I didnt make this post to get people to feel sorry for me but do appreciate all thoughts and advice. I made it because I felt it was my obligation to let people know I didnt want anymore deposits to maybe have anybody to be worried about returning when I am no longer able to work or return them myself. I do have one home remedy I want to share with everyone and I have seen it work probably 10 times times never failed any time I have seen it tried The guy who told me was on here several years may still be but cant remember what he went by on here he came by my shop I guess it was about 15 years ago and Beverly had got bit by a brown recluse and had been to the Dr. and got a 100.00 shot didnt help a bit and he said take cabbage leaf rub it in your hands and get it soft where it will lay flat to the bite tape or bandage it to the bite not just for a few hours but a good part of the time for a couple of weeks or so till you know its gone I have told about 5 or 6 people and it cured Bev and has for me 3 times and worked for all the people I know of.

Arthur,

Man, good luck with that Ivermec. I had not heard of it before, but when I looked it up, it was exciting to see what it can do. It is amazing the things you learn at the end of Burton Ridge Lane!

Prayers going up for you, Arthur! 

Nobody should have to go through what you're experiencing right now.

 It's hard to trust the Maker at times for sure!

God be with you Arthur in your path forward. As a cancer survivor for 20 years I understand your thoughts on not taking the treatments, but I would rather hear of you down for a while, than not around building beautiful banjos. I play one of your Celebrity models each day, and cherish it as a family heirloom. Prayers

Author,
I just saw this as I haven't been on the Hangout in a while. So sorry to hear about your health. I know you'll do the best you can for as long as you can. I've always considered you a stand up guy, and talented musician and luthier / builder. I still play and treasure the banjo that you converted for me a long time ago (bought from Kent Bounds, with your ring and new neck. I'll never forget the hospitality that you and Bev showed when I came to KY and stayed a few nights in your home when picking up one of your banjos.

Best to you and your family.

I wish you the best Arthur and I respect your candid disclosure and integrity in doing business.
The Nechville shop is also careful to book only new jobs that can be fulfilled within a reasonable time frame. Having a good stock of inventory and interchangeable components is my recipe.

Jo Ann and I are so sorry to hear of your condition, Arthur. We were both down in my shop yesterday, and she pointed to a picture I had taken of her and you in front of your shop fifteen or so years ago. She asked to be remembered to you and Beverly. Jo Ann so enjoyed chatting with her as they both played with grandkids while you and I were jawing in the shop.

I hope things turn around and that we might see each other again soon. Take care.

Ivermectin will definitely make the parasites run away. Cures our horses every time. Powerful.

For those of you that have not heard, Arthur has been hit with another huge blow. His shop burned down this week. Here is the thread on that. https://www.banjohangout.org/topic/401345/#5072887

A Go fund me has been started.  http://gofund.me/365470b2

Here is a picture of Arthur's shop. For those of us that have had such great times and experiences down there, this is really tough to see. I can't imagine how it is to Arthur.

Ken
