DonBradley Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Best wishes DD, both to you in following a friend's decline, and to Richard. There is nothing we can say to ease the facts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixoh8sixoh Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Morning all, sorry to hear all yesterday's rubbish news. Good luck to everyone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Richard has been through this before - and proved how brave he was then. Then along came an experimental treatment which appeared to defeat the cancer and gave everyone confidence that recovery was on the way. Now, it appears, it has returned with a vengeance.

trisonic Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Whoever Richard is the exact same thing happened to my brother in 2010. It makes me bloody angry, frankly. Too many lives being cut short and all the knock on effects to their immediate families. Pete. Sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 So sad to read about Richard this morning, DD. Please let him know my thoughts are with him and his family. Such a brave man... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Will do, Gordon. I've found it best not to dwell on things when communicating. There is not a lot to be said anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium eldavo Posted November 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2011 Morning All, DD that really puts everything in perspective. He has fought so hard and to have that glimmer of hope dashed. Awful. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 What can you say? How awful. Anger won't stop it though as sadly, once nature's set on such a course there's not much anybody can do. I hope your friend's remaining time is as comfortable as possible. I hope that one day our scientific knowledge is sufficiently advanced as to be able to contain permanently, if not cure, cancer in all its forms. Dave. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 What he said. I couldn't find the right words, as usual. Dave, Love the evocative photos you posted. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted November 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2011 I don't think I can add anything on top of what you just wrote either, Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted November 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2011 Afternoon All Was just going to get down to some drivel, but following DD's post, I really don't feel like it - so as I just feel gutted at the news of yet another of the good guys getting bad news, so it's Regards to All Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yes, selfish of me to post it on ERs but it was the most noteworthy thing among other traumas yesterday. BiL in Sweden is now laid up having hurt his back and may miss his return flight for example. This means In Law sitting will continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PhilH Posted November 17, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2011 Not much I can add really - to just go is one thing, but to have the perpetual shadow over you is just awful, surely you wouldn't be able to think about anything else? Poor, poor man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted November 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 17, 2011 I suspect some of it will be simply not knowing, my ex boss was given around 4 weeks to live last April his lung cancer had moved to his spine, He is still walking driving and riding his Triumphs he looks healthier now than he did working. All he says is that we never see him on the bad days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Lads, it's been a bit of a sombre day and I think we need a bit of a cheer up. How about a bit of Motown to lift the soul? Hope it cheers you all up like it did me - even though it's a cover! Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Morning All, It is very dark, and pretty cold here this morning. Still, it is Friday! I'm quite pleased about this fact - it has been a strange week. Have a good day everyone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelintrev Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Morning all, well it's Friday, and the end of another week I guess. We seemed to be getting pretty sombre yesterday after what seemed to be one lot of bad news after another. It's one of those situations were words fail me. But hey, lets try to enjoy (if we can) today.? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted November 18, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 18, 2011 Morning all... I also hope the weekend will bring better news for all of us. I'll be getting ready to leave in a few, but will require another cup of coffee first. Nothing much to report as of yet, though. Cheers everyone!

RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted November 18, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 18, 2011 Morning all, the excitement today will be filling in my travel claims for the last three months a ploy to get some spare cash for Christmas that has backfired spectacularly. It is Friday and the weekend is nearly here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PhilH Posted November 18, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2011 Morning all, promises to be a bright one here. I've been getting to grips with my new entertainment centre phone, a Samsung Galaxy S2, and am mightily impressed with it. I've spent ages downloading apps for it, everything from sky maps to fart sounds (yeh, I know) to guitar pl;ayers - what impresses me amongst other things is that I can search for them on my laptop and then load them onto my phone from the laptop. You can probably tell I'm easily pleased....... Have a good one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Trevellan Posted November 18, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2011 I've been getting to grips with my new entertainment centre phone, a Samsung Galaxy S2, and am mightily impressed with it. Shame there's not an App that does the oiling up under the loco for you. Not the best job on a cold, damp morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted November 18, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2011 Morning all I lost the vote this week and get to go to school dressed as Bananaman today. Never mind, it's for a good cause. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 18, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2011 Morning all. Some cloud but not cold here. I spent some time on the phone (not a smart phone) with BT sorting my internet/phone package out. Anyway we are now about to get more for less. So next week first the new router/modem arrives then an engineer will call to install a new socket for it. I have been given a list for today but nothing too strenuous, I don't want to be too tired for the model rail exhibition in Southend tomorrow. The exhibition is held near a large Waitrose so I expect I'll be given a shopping list as well tomorrow. Phil, can the new phone control trains? Mine can't but I have seen such things demonstrated by AndrewC. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another good reason for me to get a smartphone! After all, it might help impress possible visitors who didn't care about model railways before...
