  13. F*cksake fella, I'm much more of a reader than a writer but I'm wishing you well, hard to know what to say when times are tough but you came into the world screaming and kicking, keep it up, it's always a good day to be alive.

  14. I lost a sibling to cancer this year. From what I've seen staying positive for yourself and those around you is a huge part of the fight.
    All the best to you and yours.

  17. Thank you everyone for all the kind thoughts and comments.

    Without boring the pants off you, having this after three years of it all seeming to go the right way (and on top of all the other bloody ailments) I am somewhat fed up.

    It is hard to say now what caused my massive weight and muscle loss which started in 2013, but I am now struggling, so much so that I couldn't even move the Harley around (but I could ride it OK).

    So anyway, the Harley has been sold.

    Subject to what happens now with the cancer problem which is an aggressive Grade 3 type, I am keeping my eyes open for a Jap 250 /350 two stroke screamer that I can fiddle around with, but probably not ride.

    Unfortunately my future depends on the hospital multi-discipline meetings that will take place this week and as to whether I agree to what they want to do (some of them favour removing part of my anatomy, but I point out to them that my brain has already been taken out).

    Anyway, I will wait to see what happens.

    Thanks again, AL

  18. I know exactly how you are feeling Al,

    I never found any meetings with the consultants at the hospital to be a positive experience tbh, they simply dare not ( understandably) give you much reassurance, me and my wife used to come away pretty depressed really, so after the second session with them I thought “ Bollox, I’m gonna work on the basis that if I feel alright,.. I am alright “
    Dunno if it was just sticking my head in the sand like an Ostrich and shutting reality out, or in another way , setting my mind into determination mode, but it seemed to work for me.
    You will know this already, but your determination, tenacity, stubbornness, but also patience, will be your best assets to get you through it.
    I thought long and hard about writing this, hope that it helps in some way.

    As Winston Churchill once said “ When you’re going through hell,...keep going!”

    All the best mate :upyeah:
