Hyena's e-bike builds (now with HD video)

[chroot]

HI Jay-

I am sorry hear about your health gotten cancer eat you up. To be honest with you, I am cancer survivor when I was 12 yrs old innocent, I was in Junior high school 7th grade in the class that time end of November and It was no fun sudden felt so painful like someone stabbing knife in my right chest.

I went lot tests thru the X-Ray, CAT scans and blood test stuff. They discovered called Ewing, Next 2 weeks later and they took me in surgery removed ewing cancer. It was baseball size and The doctors told me that I was supposed going to be death. However, They were amazing that I recovered, got very healthy as normal and They had put me through the chemo therapy.

Chemo Therapy IS AWFUL!!!!!! I joke you NOT! I was very suffered through the chemo therapy for 1.5 years after that I am cancer free ever since now. It felt like the doctors pours real gasoline in my bloodstream and hard vomit like mad for hours and hours. For example, I went in chemo medicines into my bloodstream at 8AM and I start felt my stomach real upset. I vomit vomit vomit like crazy at 3PM to 3AM (mostly 12 hours non stop). The nurse, my parents and doctors, They could not help me stop the vomit even upset stomach medicine wont even help at all.

ONE WORD ADVICE- Keep fight faithful and think positive. DON'T GIVE UP ever. You might have higher chance survivor. Depend on how bad the cancer in your body.

I hope you get well and We (The ES members) will always there for you though the forum or sort of communication to keep you stronger faith and positive by show you our supportive.

PS. Prepare for the hair loss everywhere on your body and head when you taking the chemo therapy. 8)

Why does this always happen to the people that least deserve it
There's murders rapists child molesters etc etc running around healthy
while a super friendly, helpful modest and hard working soul like Jay is hit with this
shit... All the best to you and the missus Jay, i hope this will all be
over quickly so things get back to 'normal' for you and the family.

Damn Jay

Not expected when I looked for an update to your thread. Lost my Mom to Cancer. She was way past help when the Dr found it.

As the others say, BE POSITIVE.

Have to agree with AJ's post, completely.

 

[slayer]

Sorry to hear that Hyena i lost a brother to cancer too but that was 20 years ago, i see chroot got thru it and i like what he wrote i hope it will inspire you to go thru the fight, it could be hard but you can do it. all the best to you and your family

 

[beast775]

giving positive thoughts out towards you and family.

 

[heathyoung]

Holy shit dude! - Thats terrible, hope you and the family all get through this OK. I can never understand why stuff like this happens, its as scarey as hell to think that one day everything is fine, and the next...

 

[Spicerack]

So sorry to hear about the dramas Jay.

As everyone has said, remain as positive as possible and go for whatever treatment the Doctors can throw at you. I'll be sending positive vibes from WA!

Keep us updated if you can...

That's for the continued well wishes guys. Except for Dee Jay, I don't know what your disfunction is mate. Thankfully the mods removed your stupid comments from the thread so everyone else didn't have to read them, but now you're sending me PMs and hassling me (and others) to prove I have cancer ? Seriously man, WTF is wrong with you? You wanna see my chest xray showing the mass almost the same size of my heart ? You wanna see the CT scan of the tumor surrounding the main blood vessels of my heart ? You want a photo of me laying in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask on, electrodes all over my chest and needles hanging out of me ? I have all these on my computer and could post them in one click but I'm not going to give you the satisfaction.

Ok, back to addressing the civilised people

I saw my oncologist today and got some encouraging news. It looks like I have hodgkins lymphoma which is apparently one of the better cancers to get, should you be unlucky enough to start with! If it's just the big mass in my chest then I have around an 80% chance of survival (for 5 years and then after that the odds are still better than other cancers) if it's spread to my bones and other areas those odds go down alot. I'm having the bone marrow biopsy done tomorrow and then a full body nuclear scan done on monday to show if there's any other tumors and then I'll start chemo at the end of the week hopefully.
Chroot your experience sounds pretty bad, and I was expecting similar but the oncologist tells me that chemo "antidotes" are getting alot better these days so hopefully I won't get as sick. I'm looking at 6 months of chemo with a dose every 2 weeks but hopefully I'll only feel crook for the first week and be somewhat productive the second week before starting again. I could probably work every second week, even if it's only 3 days a week or so. Financially that will be a help and I'd probably go out of my nut anyway sitting around at home for months on end.

So plenty of time to plan my next ebike build for when I'm well enough to ride again! What's that ? Dual 5000w hub motors ? Yeah, maybe
Hopefully after the first few months of chemo I'll be ok to ride again if I'm not too weak and off balance. I dunno, maybe that's a bit too much wishful thinking but you better believe I'll be back in the saddle ASAP If nothing else, cancer is a good excuse for "cheating" next time a lycras accuses me as such!

 

[gtadmin]

Hi Jay, better than it could have been. Does the word "trike" spring to mind?

Cheers mate

 

[adrian_sm]

Nah. Time to buy a welder, and show us all what a real ebike frame should be.

Best of luck with the bone marrow biopsy.

[Gow864]

Jay, we don't know each other at all. None the less I read every one of your posts, you are as helpful as you are entertaining. Anyhow, just letting you know that there's yet another wishing you well.

Cheers,
Gow.

 

[Hyena]

Thanks mate, hopefully I've got plenty more posts in me yet

Does the word "trike" spring to mind?

Yeah I thought about it, along with one of those "chariot" type stand up scooter things.
It's just one extra thing to store once I get better though and they'd take up a fair bit of room. I guess my wife would rather be angry at me for having an extra bike clogging up the garage than be mourning my passing though :lol:

Nah. Time to buy a welder, and show us all what a real ebike frame should be.

Patience, grasshopper

A custom frame is in the works but I won't be welding it myself. I'm sure I could learn to weld but I want a neat finished product straight up so I'm going to leave it to the experts.

In the mean time, here's a hub motor tutorial video I made just before I got sick.
I was planning to put it up for people that constantly ask me "how hard is it to fit one of these kits" but I might actually create a new thread for it as most people who'd benefit from such a clip probably wouldn't see it here.

Hey Jay

Great to see you posting and sorry that Dee Jay has been hassling you as well? and he called me a Troll :lol: can you believe it? I hope I never see a single post from him again on here and wont as he is on my foes list, in all my time on here I have never ever had dealings with someone so insensitive.

Loving the videos too!! and really hope the Chemo goes well for you, Australia is a top place for cancer treatment way better than us here in the UK and the fact you have got Hodgkinsons is a small blessing if you can look at it like that, survival rates are very good that really cheered me up when I read that..I know that sounds weird :lol:

You hang in there Bro and don't fuss about Dee Jay

[chroot]

Yes, My time was AWFUL bad! and the chemo therapy was using needle syringe into the blood vein (old method). It was 1980 year and I am sure now today using pills intake. However, Be expected for your all body, head's hair will be gone as bald till it stop taking chemo medicine. It will gradually grow hair back normal.

I don't know if the doctors still using chemo into the body via needle syringe or other new methods.

If you are going take a chemo pills and your stomach upset will be weak not same like what I did in 1980 awful strong gasoline into my vein and stronger vomit like mad. It probably will help stop make you vomit with the stomach upset medicine like Pepto-Bismol. Maybe it will help and You might want ask your oncologist for more accurate information.

Chroot your experience sounds pretty bad, and I was expecting similar but the oncologist tells me that chemo "antidotes" are getting alot better these days so hopefully I won't get as sick.

[Whiplash]

Hey I would take any good news as GREAT news! I am glad to hear it looks like a better prognosis! I can't believe the asshole comments Dee Jay was saying I saw a few before they were removed and hopefully they will ban him for life from the site.... That would be the right thing to do... Unbelievable....

Anyway hope things keep getting better and they get it all out soon! Look at it like this, you just cot a bad cell, they just need to cut it out and replace it! Hopefully all will be well soon!! The forum isn't the same without the cool vids!!

 

[icecube57]

.... OMG dude.. now i feel sick to my stomach. My event is a drop in the bucket to senario. Get well soon mate.

 

[heathyoung]

DeeJay sounds like a right douche. Wasn't that the cancer that Delta Goodrem got? You should try the old joke on the doctors - 'Can I sing after the cancer is fixed? (yes, of course) Thats great, cause I couldn't before' - Too soon?

Keep us all updated, and keep positive...

 

[Ypedal]

what was said canot be un-said, but let's please try to move forward and keep the bashing to a minimum as much as humanly possible, would be much apreciated..

 

[sico]

Hi Jay, I'm really sorry to hear about the tumor, that really is terribly bad luck so young.

I know how you feel with the kids too mate, I have a couple of young ones myself (who have enjoyed a chuckle at some of your vids too).

I wish you the very best of luck for a fast and permanent recovery, and hopefully back to your zany ebike antics forthwith :wink:

Simon.

 

[dingoEsride]

Hope you pull through OK mate, keep your chin up, we all want to read your cheeky posts and see more vids, good luck

mark

 

[AussieJester]

Good news about the type of cancer you have decided to grow inside you Jay
You will beat this and be free of the big 'C' and be joking
about it before you know it For now though, best wishes to you and the family Jay


@DingoMan - I just noticed you have had a name change (formerley known as "DingoTookMyBaby")

KiM

 

[dingoEsride]

Yes true Kim, the name wore out on me a bit, after all it was a spur of the moment name I thought of as a youtube username and got re used here but with no relevents to electric propulsion or biking

cheers mark

and may the Hyena go out to play again

 

[Grinhill]

Wow, my huge smiles from watching your vids have just disappeared.

I'm joining in with everyone else in wishing you a speedy recovery, Hyena.

 

[Thud]

Just Piling on here Jay,
Good luck & the prayers are with you.

Offroading on saturday I was fine, woke up sunday with some chest pain that felt sorta muscular but got worse as the day went on. Today I was worse still and collapsed on the way to work (walking from the carpark, I felt too unwell to ride)
After a day in the emergency dept and alot of painful tests they found a big mass in my chest about the size of a tennis ball.

I really hope you pull through this, bud.

Stuff like this worries me. A year ago I was out biking in the heat, stressed out because I was getting lost on my way to my gfs and dealing with 60mph cars near me, and got chest pains that didn't go away. Over the next day they continued to get worse and freak me out. The next morning I went to work, and felt sick, nearly passed out. I left and headed to a hospital, but felt better as I got there. I went home and later had it come back so I did go to an urgent care clinic and lots of nurses and a Dr looked at me. They didn't see anything wrong. Years ago I saw a cardiologist because I would occasionally get a quick sharp chest pain that would go away. They did all their tests on me, was fine. I chalked it up to stress (my dad has a history or stress related chest pains) 6 weeks later I was still having mild chest pains, went to see a cardiologist, he thought I was crazy for thinking there was something wrong with me. I had ekgs done, blood tests, physicals, saw numerous drs over the past year. Chest pains come and go, and are fairly mild and go away these days. I know I have a sort of anxiety problem and it feels like I can't deal with stress well. I'm pretty sure my issues are stress related, but they still worry me. I suppose since it's been over a year and I've gotten overall better, I don't have serious health issues. I am still considering taking an anxiety medication (my dad has been for years), because I worry that the stress itself is worse for me than the meds.
