I plan to get as many games in as I can before I pass away.
Cancer sucks. Playing, Painting, and visitor. |

Well, that sucks. But you're right, you need to do the things that you enjoy just because you enjoy them. (I'm in remission myself, but had a nasty go for a while -- fully understand.) |

Play, play, play the game. And I wish you peace.

And in between the play, play, play, LIVE! LIVE! LIVE! And in between those, FIGHT! FIGHT!FIGHT! The best way to give cancer the middle finger is to live, play, and fight! God be with you, as we all are… |

Wise words Buck215 & VCarter, both. Wise indeed. |

Very sorry to hear this, but recommend, as Bick and VC say, do whatever brings you joy, and make the most of your time. All of our days are numbered. |

Thank you for your words of encouragements. I am holding on to life as best that I can, but I have terminal cancer. God bless you all with a long life and many happy battles. |

Sorry to hear and not sure what words have not been covered by the others. Game, smile and laugh as much as you can. God be with you! |

Wargamer1999, Moving as I am towards the end of my 'cancer journey' I can only say that I have some small insight into what you must be enduring. I know, though, I cannot claim to be in step with your own experience; For me, the spectre of cancer claiming my life was thankfully fleeting; I was told it was curable about a month after diagnosis. Then the fight began. I know how lucky I was to win that fight, and also, how lucky that my cancer was of the curable variety. During my battle, I met many people who have since lost their personal struggles. I want to believe, earnestly and unwaveringly, that there is still a chance of you emerging victorious, and alive, from this. But I know that belief alone is not the bringer of miracles. But, I was also told my cancer was of a type that does not respond well to the treatment I received, and more invasive procedures would be required. I maintain that I willed that treatment to be the death of my cancer, and sure enough, I emerged as one of only 15% of patients to show the complete elimination of this type of cancer, post-treatment. I would not call it a 'miracle' – just the triumph of the human spirit over this insidious disease. I want to believe that a similar triumph will signal the end of your fight, too. But, if there can be no doubt of the outcome, then may your triumph be that, right to the end, you lived full, and well. Yours, - Martin |

Good! Post some pics because we all look forward to seeing them! |

wargamer1999 – that's terrible news to have to endure, but it sounds like you have the right attitude – live as much as you can, while you can. I have a few French vehicles and other bits I don't need. Drop me a line (guinny at gmail dot com) and I'm happy to send them your way if you can make use of them! |
