Feeling much better.

Hi Alex, I have just returned from from nearly 2 months in the UK and read your very positive post.
With all your medical procedures one would be forgiven for being
not at ease with ones position.
But reading your post was very uplifting.
Keep well and enjoying the things that make you happy.
All the best my friend, and keep on keeping on.
Cheers
Ron

Thanks Ron but you are somewhat inspirational at least I find you so.

I want to be just like you if I ever get old

Alex, you were born on the same birth date as two great people.
My Brother and Elvis.
You're only 4 years and a bit behind me, and like me have
had an eventful life.
Keep it up mate.
Cheers

Alec, my dear fishing mate has pancreatic cancer. I had a bone marrow transplant a few years ago. I’d talk to no one when I had my transplant. I’m gravely concerned for my mate yet too apprehensive to call

I can understand how you may perceive it to be difficult and sure it will be but being a mate isnt just staying with each other until the pub closes..there can be more...and perhaps the best thing to do is get it out in the open.. when you first see him just say you poor "b...d" I hear you are dieing and there is nothing you can do..can I have your fishing rods?." If he gives them to you he is a good mate so spend some time with him and have a chat..

.I found half my time went to telling people not to get upset about my issues..I wasn't worried but to them you would think it was the end of the world...so I might die ...but somehow I thought one day I would...no big deal...

I doubt if you will find him as a basket case and if you do at least you will know you did the right thing by making the effort...doing the right thing is always important and usually it is the hardest choice to make...but when you do the right thing over and over it gets easier.

Just remember dieing is not a big deal...we are each here for a personal eternity..we dont know when we get here and we dont know when we go..our experience is a personal eternity...I am right just accept it and stop worrying....what more can you ask for???

Good on you. I am sure he will appreciate your call. If he seems a little withdrawn please try and extend some understanding as such news can hit some people hatd.

All the best.
