Make sure you are listening to your favourite music and have your favourite people around you.

Stories like this always draw people together, and make us think about what we have.

All the best to you and yours, we're all thinking of you.

I hope you can make the best use of the time you have and wish you & your family peace of mind in such a terrible situation.

I can only hint at how much I admire your openness and fortitude.

We will be here for you for as long as you need us.

Like everyone I am at a loss for words man. My heart goes out to you and your family. If it's appropriate to say, "keep fighting the good fight." Life is full of surprises.

Hi JT, I did have the pleasure of meeting you at LGS in 2005 and I am really sorry to hear your news.  I hope you can keep comfortable and have as many friends and family around you as you need.

I'm shocked, i feel for you, your family and friends. From the time i've been on the forum you've been a great guy and very helpful and you sound like a proper good guy. Hope you can keep on fighting for as long as possible and enjoy the rest of your time with the people closest to you.

Damn, that's shocking news. My heart goes out to you and your close ones.

We will miss you man!

The written word can't tell the whole story but judging fro your post, you seem to take it pretty well. I admire your strength!

Dammit, I hate this kind of thing, I've lost too many young friends already.

Wow, that's a bad one. Cancer's a real b*st*rd, especially the aggressive type...  :(

All the best to you & your friends and family. Do what you can with them when you can, that's all that you can ask for.

Echoing all of the above, I cannot imagine the situation you find yourself in, or how I would respond in that same situation. I have nothing but respect and admiration for your attitude.

It's rather a personal wake-up call to me, in a way, as I've recently got a new job in cancer research. This just hits home what a sudden and devastating illness cancer can be, and how important it is that we (as scientists) tackle this disease as fervently as we possibly can.
I'm only sorry that we're most likely too late for you and the thousands of people who are also in your position. With that said, the doctors don't *always* get the diagnosis of terminal cases correct, and for your sake, and the sake of your family, I sincerely hope you fall into this minority of cases.

My heart goes out to you and your family at this time.

Really sorry to hear your news JT - I really can't begin to comprehend what you are going through. Thanks for sharing your story with us - this shows a great deal of strength that not many people have.
I think I hate being indecisive.

Don't know what to say mate except live the best you can and happiest you can with what time you have left. Go with a bang and don't let anything bring you down.

I am also at a loss to find words to adequately express my shock at hearing this news - and sadness  for you and your family. I have just been watching a mate ( who is much younger than me ) go through chemo-therapy this last year - and whilst he has thankfully gone into remission, it brought it home hard what it is like to face these things so unexpectedly.

As has already been said, enjoy the love and loving of your family - and leave a memory of dignity and warmth.  We all send our love too - and are glad that a good guy like you crossed our collective paths.

Rest assured that like other good men that have gone before, you will never be forgotten.

May peace find you.
