Retro Red Diagnosis in

[GDub]

I don't think we've ever exchanged comments in a thread, but hey my kilted friend I'm sending good energy your way. I have a very close friend who survived stage 4 cancer, in fact he's at about 5 years cancer free at this point. It's doable. I have no idea how, but attitude must have something to do with it because my friend has that in spades.

Hang in man and keep the spirit up...

I have a friend with advanced liver cancer, he has been fighting it successfully for two years longer than the prognosis. FIght, fight hard, try everything! Make sure you live the fullest life you can. In truth, none of us knows when our time will come! Stay positive, and my thoughts are with you!

Craig,

I don't know your last name

I don't know the names of your children,

or even know if you have children

but you are my friend

I have never been to your house

I have never shared a meal with you

or even shaken your hand

but you are my friend

I look forward to the things you write

Always laugh at all your jokes,

or at least groan good naturedly at them

because you are my friend

We have shared a fictional train ride together to the Great Golden Hall

We have shared a bit of carved and painted wood shaped like an airship,

passed between us through a chain of goodwill

because we are friends

You are in my thoughts

and my hopes

and whatever time you have, I wish you peace

my friend

Sincerely

James

I could not come up with anything better so I'll just say....yeah, what James said.

The words I want to post are not allowed under our forum rules. They are short four letter words and Anglo-Saxon in nature. You probably have voiced them yourself of late.

Sending up billows of smoke for you my friend. Know you'll make your peace.

Know pancreatic cancer all too well and you're right, most sadly its a fast one, don't waste a second.

Know you'll live forever on this board...an icon of kilted wisdom and fun.

Hugging you, sniveling, and laughing a bit too. You're off to the Great Mystery sooner than you'd planned, but we'll all catch up soon enough. Gotta be kilted on the other side...send us back a sign.

Mucho JuJu your way my friend.

Sorry to hear of your prognosis Red. Our family will be certian to keep you and your family in our prayers.

Cancer is horrid and a lottery as to whether you get it or which kind you get.

When I was diagnosed I was told I had "drawn the short straw" yet mine was treatable and worth the 6 months of hell when I went through the chemo.

Yours sounds a shorter straw than mine was but I learnt to value each day and not take them for granted.

The battle is always worth it and you will be in my thoughts and hopes to win yours.
