Bad news about JT.
« on: May 14, 2008, 01:59:35 PM »
:D OK guys here goes !

I`ve already spoken to Tim about posting this very bad news about myself and he`s said its ok. I`m going to take everybody's response`s as well meaning and intentioned but let`s not turn this post into a discussion about death. So if you must respond keep it short.

I have some very bad news. And it`s not a joke. I`m dying. It turns out my cancer came back hid itself shut down my digestive system and is starving me to death. I`m currently bedridden unable to walk [ i have to use a commode!  :cry: yuk !!!] we are talking a matter of weeks if i can keep up the fight. I`ve just come out of hospital after having another operation. That`s when they found the cancer. I`d just like to say that i had and learnt a lot being on the forum. I`ve enjoyed the banter and chat and have decided this is the best forum on the net by miles. Don`t abuse it, use it.

I think this is what the term "Ahhh Bollox" was invented for.

Dunno what to say dude, not known you for long but you are a true geezer.   Thoughts with you and your family.
Advice worth what you just paid for it.

I'm sorry to hear that, mate. I sincerely hope you have someone around you to comfort you and be strong with you. I admire your boldness around the subject. So many people would go into denial, and not tell their loved ones, thinking it's better to leave them ignorant, and it never is. My respect.

I don't really know you but that is a real downer for you.

I hope that you can do you best to stay as positive as possible.

I believe the only thing i know you for on this forum is that you started the thread with the most replies on the entire forum.

It is really unfortunate about your situation and i hope the time that you do is as good as it can be for you and that it is as comfortable as possible.

I don't know what to say either, for anyone, know you or not, it's difficult when anyone says something like this.

Heart's out to you and your family.

Gulp. Thats a big'un !  Like most folks, I feel pretty much lost for words in these situations. But I admire your honesty, and heartily recommend you spend as much time as you possibly can with those people who truly love you, and whom you truly love.
  I also heartily recommend making peace with God. It's at times like these when the eternal appears to become more relevant, even though it was there all along.
  God bless yer, and hopefully we'll see you posting for a while longer.

You are a very brave man for sharing this with us.
Although most of us have never met, everyone here is a member of the BKP family. I wish you the strength and peace of mind you need.
My thoughts are with you JT, my BKP brother.

Just to say that I am truely sorry to hear that and wish you and yours have as much peace as possible in the coming times

Saying anything more would be imposing my own beliefs and that isn't appropiate.
