Infrequent visitor to this site and just found this thread. I just had to read every word from start to finish.
Not very good with words but what a strong and courageous man you are Rustic.:clap

It'll be good to have the family around at Christmas, so have a good 'un Uncle Rustic (and family). :thumb2

Richard, I have to shamefully admit I have only just caught up with this thread.

Keep us all updated and before you know it you will be home for Christmas.

Stay positive and never underestimate the power of the mind. You CAN beat this if you stay focused..... you're doing a fantastic job so far.

PS just noticed there are only 3 days between when you and I joined this site, just over 10 years ago now.

Update on our friend

Hi guy’s I nipped in to see Rustic yesterday whilst on my way to the meet.

Unfortunately after a few good days Rustic wasn’t very well yesterday. I won’t go into details though. That said I spoke to uncle and he sends regards to everyone and he described this club as very supportive. He soon got tired so I didn’t stay long but managed to pass on a few messages to him which he appreciated guys.

Rustics family are expecting a grandchild very shortly which has given Rustic something to focus on.

I had a chat with Roz and told her that if we can do anything at all for the, to just ask and I’m sure we as a club will be there for them.

I’m not going to say anymore and I dearly hope Rustic can update this thread himself.

All I can say is our thoughts are with you Uncle and you have our respect friend.

Thanks for the update Jim, it would be nice to hear from him again, although I can understand that this thread may be too painful.

 

[Thomas61]

Thank you for the update Jim, and absolutely yes, as a member of this fine club if there was anything I could do for Rustic or his family I would be more than happy to do so.

Uncle Rustic's sad news

So sad to hear about Uncle Rustic it's giving me a glimpse as to what I can expect with my Father-in-Law who has had been treated for Prostate Cancer for the last 4 years.

He is 86 this year but due to a bad reaction to his new Palliative Chemotherapy that started in January 2018 they are no longer offering this treatment.

He now has great difficulty in just standing up his situation does not look good. At present my wife and her brother are doing the caring but soon he will need home help that at present he is refusing.

Makes me count my blessings my thoughts are with Rustic, Roz and his family at this difficult time.

 

[Blocky10]

Yes, thanks for the update Jim.
Never too far from our thoughts Rustic.

Had my check this morning all good. This thread has made me think about a lot health related things. I'm not the most slender of people so i have been referred by my doctor to an exercise program for people suffering certain health problems and chubbyness. I was reading that being overweight is the second most cause of cancer, so time to do something about it. It's not until you read something like this that you think it could never happen to you.

You'll get more mileage out of improving your diet if it's pounds of fat that you need to shift. Excercise will help improve fitness unless you're looking at HIIT (High intensity interval traing) where you'll need a certain level of fitness already.
Pretty much in this order:
Quit the booze.
Quit the sugar.
Quit processed food.
Replace rice and pasta with beans and legumes.

And yes, Rustic is a bloody good egg.
