Hi folks,
I just wanted to express my thanks to all of the people I have met here, and a few of you in person. I sit here tonight with just a few hours to go knowing that this is most likely going to be my last new years eve celebration. It sounds dramatic and barring a miracle or scientific advancement that hits in the next 3 months this will be so.
I've, on a lot of reflection, agreed with my wife to have a few close friends over this evening for a few nibbles and drinks. I've explained to her that I might get emotional at some point and most of my friends know it. It's with a tremendously heavy heart that I post something like this and I intend to fight like a "good n" untill I either win or am defeated.
My armoury is weak now. Just radiotherapy to try and stem progress of this horrible disease and stop any pain to give my family some semblance of normality whilst I face the latter stages of palliative care.
I very much enjoy coming here and will continue to do whilst I can. Now and again, usually in the car alone, I completely lose it. Who wouldn't with a 10 year old and a 3 year old that look at you lovingly when you tell them a story each night? But my resolve in front of them is total, as much as it can be.
I am about to finish the Blanch and then I've restoration project free. I will think very carefully before I take another project on I fear.
God bless all of you for 2012.
Kindest, and warmest regards.
Tony

Tony,
I don't know what to say, other than thanks for showing us your work throughout the year, the New Years well wishes and to wish you the very best for 2012!
Keep the attitude positive and by the grace of God, there will be a miracle in your life.
Best Regards,
Cameron

I am sure you are making the most of every moment. You inspire me to do the same when I think of the uncertain future you face so bravely.
God Bless, and best of luck.

Tony,
While I've never met you, I was thinking of you the other night a thinking of what you and your family have to go through. You have been a blessed person on this board with all that you have shared. This has been a better place because of you and others like you who show civility beyond reproach.
My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Chris
