As a devout athiest
Hear hear. I'm just hoping that whatever's on the 'other side' is more fun than what's on this side.

That is good to hear. :nod:
Colonol Dekker is back!

Hope so, i passed out from pain last week on a ski slope but made one of the best rolls ever i'm told. I'm being weaned off of diazapene at the mo too for my livers sake. {the amount of booze i've drunk this year pm far would have downed most armies} so i'm being good in that respect too. I'll know if i'll live or die by friday. Sounds dramatic but it's that simple. Go me!

Lol i'm no superman i just take it as it comes and sod whatever crap life throws at ya. As in my lemonade quote. If it goes pete tong what more can in wrong? I won't be around to worry, optimism is both great and somewhat numbing at the same time. If i hobble off this mortal coil at least i won't have to tolerate this god awful james bond film that i've heard about *yuk* kudos for the moral support HLP.

Good luck! :)

If you live, then hooray! Seeing superior DNA being snuffed out is always sad.
If you know you're going to die from this, then at the very least you would know WHEN you die, unlike most people. You could therefore take advantage of capitalism in your last days.

It's great to see you're still holding in there mate. I'm not religious either but my thoughts are still with you. :)

Congrats! It must've been my signature ;)

QFT.

This is as much detail i'll go into. I find out early next week if i'm eligible for a surgical procedure. If so a good 4 weeks of waiting to have it. If not then triple that and i'm off to meet bosch and wolfe. Just wanted to say that facing my mortality has yet again hit me so i countered it by re-reading the original DS thread in classics and have lolled myself so much i fear you knocked a month off my clock. Worth it though. There were some absolutely classic quotes waiting to be resurrected there. :)
-
Hmm. I'm seriously considering coming to London in the vacation week on March. But you probably have enough to do by that time.

That say laughter mak4es you live longer. Read more HLP classics! :D
-
Just wanted to say I hope things go well for you and fairplay to your attitude. I'd only hope I could muster the same stuff if I was in your situation.
-
Yes great attitude towards life, I applaud you! :)
Good luck to you ;-)
-
My grandad always said you die if you worry and you die if you don't so why worry. :)

Why are they making you wait so long for the procedure if you are elligible? At the medical center I work at, we'd have you in by the end of the week, if not tomorrow if it was that urgent. Have you considered going elsewhere where the wait won't be so long? Anyways, PM me if you want to talk about that option.

Dunno about the UK, but in Canada you have to wait 52 weeks + for some cancer treatments. Four years for a knee replacement.
-
that's what happens in poorly designed public healthcare

As someone who works in a cancer center, that chills my blood. It makes me want to say things I will refrain from saying.

Thats brilliant to hear that you still have a chance. I truly hope you'll get it.

That's why probably why Canada was ranked 30th in the world for health care by the WHO. Worrying considering the UK was ranked 18th despite years of the Tories systematically destroying the NHS, but still above the US who were 37th.

I'm not sure if you're asking me or colecampbell666, but if you are asking me the answer is the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center.

One thing to tell your superiors (or to fix, if you are the superior) is that your website (cancer.duke.edu) is down.Dunno about the UK, but in Canada you have to wait 52 weeks + for some cancer treatments. Four years for a knee replacement.

My grandfather just got his replaced, after 3 years of pain. My dad's friend got both replaced near instantly in India or something for 10 000$ airfare/accommodations included.

Looked into it. http://www.cancer.duke.edu/ should be up and running again. Thanks for the heads up.
