Confronting End of Life ...

[Ian M]

All I can say is grab life by the horns and give it a damned good ride. I know its not a comment most will understand but is not half the battle refusing or accepting defeat. I am sure that both of you John and Dave know what I mean.

I'm at a loss as well for the right words,my positive thoughts and prayers to both of you!

Thank you all for your kind words and wishes. I am trying to keep positive, as far as I may. Like Dave W I'm an engineer (retired), and I try to keep a practical attitude.

The troublesome aspect at the present is the treatment I took this year (Lupron) affects the hormones, so I'm having the experiences that a female has at menopause, mainly sweating problems. When I first had the treatment, I did not know what effects it would have, and the first thing I noticed was emotional reactions; I'm AS, so I'm more like Mr. Spock in Star Trek emotionally, so this was a bit odd, not unlike the episode where Spock gets emotions!

I find the side effects more upsetting than my condition itself!

I shall try to "Keep a stiff upper lip! ..."

Regards, John

Well John I have read now a number of times this article.

With all the things which members of this forum have written I find it is impossible not to get emotional.

Also good to see the support given by people who have not physically met but can generate so much kindness through the written word.

Keep writing John.
