End of an era

[Terranical]

It looks likely that I will not be renewing my membership after the current year expires. I have been advised by my doctor that I am no longer allowed to drive following a ct scan which has revealed that I have cancer in various places across my body, including my brain, plus my daughter and her family have now returned from Spain to start a new life here in the UK, and as my Terrano remains in Spain it is unlikely to be used again. I will continue to contribute any pearls of wisdom that I feel would be beneficial to members, plus any bad jokes that I feel are worthy of sharing (well, can't let Briggie have all the limelight can I!)

Not news we wanted to hear, but do not give up, good friend of mine younger than me, over the last 10 years has had a triple bypass, just getting over that and diagnosed with lung cancer, has had loads treatment but has kept on working light duties throughout, he told me today the treatment has killed most but not all so he has to have another lot, his answer! I am off to Cyprus for 2 weeks holiday before the new treatment starts, he is a fighter, Rick

That is terrible news, sorry to hear, keep your head up and keep fighting though and most importantly enjoy yourself!

Not good news, but you must keep positive and take every day as it comes. There are new ways to fight this SH1T of a disease being found all the time, so keep strong. It sounds like you have a good family around you which helps.
Between you and Briggie, we should have ample amusement on here with jokes and the like, so stay round please.
All the best, John

Spoke to my oncologist nurse today, it's terminal - too far progressed to be able to do anything. Any treatment now will be palliative, simply to make me as comfortable as possible.
