Time passes and my next batch of treatment is now concluded because it has not been working and my cancer has now progressed to my lung and bones.
----------------------------------------More radiotherapy is on the cards and bone strengthening injections too but I have been told that for people in my position there is a 25% chance of dying within 4 months, a 50% chance of dying after 4 but before 8 months and a 25% chance of lasting longer. I will say my goodbyes now and thank you all for your friendships and good washes shown  |

Old Chap, I pray that you are going home to your Creator. When our time is at hand we should know our destination.

OldChap, you are in all of our thoughts. Thanks for all you do to support humanitarian scientific research--and no doubt you do great things in other areas of your life as well.

I've been hoping that the treatments would be successful for you and I'm really saddened to hear things aren't working out. You have been a stalwart contributor here on WCG for as long as I can remember, both in computing, and with help and advice to people on the forums, and have always conducted yourself like a gentleman whilst doing so.
Thank you for all you have done for all those you will never meet, and I wish you all the best for the time you have left. |

No words can comfort the inevitable. Your contributions and volunteerism will always be remembered. Every one of us should cherish each day and live as if it is our last. Peace be with you, Old Chap.
