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

Well Retro, I can only wish you the best, massive juju going out your way, and prayers for both you and your family.

Having had cancer in my family I know the strain it places on them.

Things will be ok and your life will still be lived, just make sure you live it to the fullest.

Hard to 'man-hug' through a forum, but here I am doing it right now bud.

Retro, check into Canadian research on canabinoid receptors and thier role in cancer. There is also something called Radiothermography, they actually cook the cancer cells without damaging the surrounding tissue. Focused chemo has also proben to be quite positive!. Look into a green super food called Boku!

Light and love Bro!

Sorry to learn of this news. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

That's a tough one laddie. Sending all possible good vibes in your direction.

Rotten luck red. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Although it is little comfort to you realize you are not alone---we are all here to listen and help in any way we can.

As a physician I am familiar with and work with cancer patients every day, and all we can really offer is what we have, which in your case is limited and experimental. As a regular person I have witnessed the passing of my ex-wife from stage 4 pancreatic last year, my close friend and first cousin from stage 4 colon just this week (whose funeral I am attending tomorrow here in Staunton, VA), and have another close friend and colleague from work also undergoing treatment for stage 4 pancreatic right now.

IMHO opinion things like this in our lives just plain suck---there is nothing fair about it. The best we as friends can do is offer to be there and help in whatever way YOU want us to, and to try to make your life easier. Do not hesitate to ask for help---that is what we are here for, when ever you need it. You have lots of friends here on xmarks who care about you, whether or not they know you well. We are here for you.
