from the forums as i found out early this morning that my Dad has stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes, liver, and diaphragm. it is untreatable and we dont know how long he has left so i will be spending as much time i can helping my family out and working to get us all through this crisis both mentally and financially. i will check the boards periodically but for the most part i will not be on for awhile. for all those whom i was planning on doing business with i will have to kindly remove myself from any business dealings for now as i have more important things to spend my money on. thank you for your time and understanding.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I was in the same boat you are in back in 1999. My father passed 10 months after learning of the terminal cancer. He was only 55 and I was 18, right out of High school. Definiality changed my life, made me a stronger person and stopped taking things for granted. Well once again I'm very sorry and GOD BLESS!

Hey,
I'm so sorry to hear that this dreaded illness has taken hold of your dad. All of my prayers go out to you and your family during this very difficult time. All the best to you and hang in there.

Hey,

Take the time and spend as much as possible with your dad. My dad suffered a stroke 5 years ago and hung on until Dec. 28th this past year. We really lost him at the stroke as he never had speech or much understanding past that point.

Let me know if there's anything I can do, I'm in Jacksonville, FL, and will gladly help in any way I can.

May God richly bless you through this trying time.
