Good afternoon Family:wave:
Still feelin pretty sick, but wanted to say hi:) and tell everyone about the call I got this morning:(.
I had planned to get on earlier but :eek:
Hope everyone is doin well, I sure do miss you all.:hug:
Ok here goes, hope it's ledgeible:rolleyes:

I have still been coughing my ass off and everything else that goes with it, so mad at that cancer center. Then this morning I got a call from my brother, the one that had early stage 3 colon cancer and went the route most people go with chemo radiation and surgery, glad I didn't go that way. I hadn't talked to him for a while so I knew something was up, called him but never got a return call, well till this morning. Last time I talked to him he was happy and excited because they had told him their poison (chemo and radiation) had killed it and he clear of cancer, I'd be thrilled too, and they wanted to do one more scan after a couple months and then just a check up scan every year. When I talked to him this morning he was sad and weak sounding, he told me he had his scan last week and it came back saying he has cancer in his Liver, Lungs, Bones, and stomach, stage 4 uncurable, and that he only has 2 to 4 months to live. :eek: :eek: :eek: . WTF. So basically my day turned to sh*t. Why does everything happen when you are sick anyway. I had always thought he would outlive me by a long ways, never smoked, led a clean life, he doid drink a little but hell we're Irish. Why doesn't anyone listen to me when I tell them there is a better way.:(:(:(.

I am so sorry to hear things spread. Did they not catch it in time? Either way, it is killer to hear. So sorry to hear of such. I know you have been battling with your own illness and this is just heartbreaking. Prayers go out to you and your family. It is so hard coming back after hearing such news. If there is any thing I can do please just ask rather here or in PM. I miss you and hope somehow there is some way to be there for you even if it is for moral support.

That's cool, Snap ! I just hope you don't disappear like others have....:eek:
Haven't seen @inspects for quite a while :(
Aww, you don't have to worry about us, we'll be kind, gentle, and loving ;) :)
Well, you might have to watch out for @VapeJunkie, LOL, he's a stink pot (you know I'm joking VJ :hug: :blowkiss: )

Yes always watch out for the stink pot. Skunk weed is very bad for you. Financially as well as the fact it has little potency. Just kidding. Yes I am a stinker that likes to create havoc. More so in other forums, but given the chance and having a following, I can be a true pain in the butt. All in the sake of a laugh mind you... Luckily for VU, I have been in work mode, which means I am finishing my man cave/dwelling in the basement while trying to keep my health. Sadly tomorrow starts my decent into less hours. Only working 4 five hour shifts next week.

Can't really complain though, only need to buy things for my bed and then on to a sink with plumbing. Both are still rather expensive, but after that I will have completed my wants and to start saving with god willing, finish the last of my child support to a child I never get to see. I know I should not be bitter, but not a single dollar went to my daughter. Kind of crazy since I was given a dept of $70,000+ when she was 16. Anyway she is now 25 and the dept is down to $12,000. With a little luck, I can knock this out in the next year or two. So sick of this hanging over my head while dealing with health issues.

Anyhow I hope you all are doing well. I know we have suffered some setbacks with a few members. Rhianne with her father, I still wish I could do something to make thing easier for. I keep giving prayers for her but I too have dealt with that loss and my father was not just my dad, but my best friend as well.... There is nothing that can be said or done to take away such a loss. I can only pray she is doing what it takes to be healthy and sane during her time of mourning.

Now there is Jimi getting hit with not only his own health issues but the sad news of a family member given a time limit on life. It's unfair to see an otherwise healthy person making the right choices in life suffer from things out of his control. I look at my life and the poor judgements made and wonder how a good soul deserves such. It is such depressing news. He deserves so much better. My prayers go out to him and his family as well.

Lastly there is Amber. A kind hearted soul dealing with as ass for a husband and fighting to see Toby. Keep up the fight youngen. You will soon be united with your little one and enjoy life the way it should be. Again if you need a fellow person that deals with depression that has an open ear, look me up.

Gopher I hope you keep up on your hectic pace and keep being safe city to city as you make things better for all of us. Mist, I know you have been battling a few demons and depression as well. We are in the same boat and if you need someone to just listen, I am there. Just shoot me a pm. While we suffer a lot of the same afflictions in one way or another, I try to keep my darkness at bay, but you really worry me with your openness at times. I pray things get easier for you.

Snap I just want to say congrats on your promotion. Well deserved and it couldn't happen to a better person. Wolfie, I just want to say thank you for being the mother hen of this group. You are always so positive and to be honest, a breathe of fresh air with your inspiration. Keep all those cubbies in line.

To anyone I missed, I apologize. Blame it on the booze, blame it on my not so frequent visits here. You all deserve better and if the coming weeks stay like this coming week, I will have a lot more time on my hands to be more active. Until then, peace, love and happiness for you all.... I miss you and love you all....

OMG I am so sorry to read this Jimi- awful news about your brother.
Prayers to you and your family during this difficult time- I have been there with my sister who was a healthy , non smoker and drinker who died within 6 months of her Stage 4 Lung Cancer diagnosis, she was 47. I miss her every day.
My friend Eric who just lost his 2 year battle with Stage 4 Lung Cancer a few weeks ago- it is awful.
Cancer Sucks!
I am here for you Jimi if you need to talk.
