Thanks, as always, for keeping us updated, David.

Strange to get a bit of news that makes you sad and glad at the same time.

George, you were an inspiration. Rest in peace.
marcustandy,

I took the warning signs too late

... whatever you do make sure you do it with a positive attitude, if you give up you'll be dead before the 18 months are up.
when you wake in the morning, tell the cancer you're going to beat it, don't let it rule your life.


My heart goes out to Funnyfut's family. Unfortunately this is a tale that is a little close to home.

My uncle was diagnosed with multiple tumors of the brain at Christmas 2009, he died last week. It was a slow and painful death in which nothing could be done. The positive attitude that we all had lasted no more than a month until reality kicked in. To watch him degenerate from a lively guy to a mere shell in but a few weeks was a feeling I don't want too often.

RIP

Stan

Like many more on this site I have only got to "know" the now deceased George Pitcher, via those 284 posts which are now his epitaph. By a sad coicidence I became a member of TNUK at about the same time as George was getting the bad news about his major health problem, just short of 2 years ago. I feel privileged to have been allowed to follow his pain-filled journey to its final conclusion. He was a man, in the truest sense of the word. He showed his best qualities when the going got tough. To his friends , especially Spardo, Jonah1, and Bloodoodle who provided him with much needed support when he needed it most, I offer my Very Sincere Commiserations at the passing of your friend. To his friend Sheila ,my Very Sincere Condolences. As for you George, you passed the greatest test of your life, with flying colours. Well done you. R.I.P. You have earned it.
