He definitely is. He was one of those people you might meet three times in your life; he was special. @eagle1 must be in a kind of personal torment, I canāt imagine. Love to you @eagle1.

Hi @eagle1 I hope you are doing ok? I think about you and Dave often. @sleepyhead has been keeping me informed about the alliance messages. I miss you all. Dave probably would have been able to cheer me up. Please send everyone my love. I just donāt see a way I can get back.
Support were nice but Iām not allowed to discuss details here. They needed additional information on spending but I was unable to work out how to get the detail in time, anxiety before the chemo and nausea after got in the way (13 pages from Google plus another 16 from Apple) Someone is on my case and it would take the intervention of someone influential to appeal on my behalf. Maybe the guy who started this entire mess 1,5 years ago could own up and accept that he decided to escalate rather than send me a polite message.? I donāt think I am an awful forum member and these days I steer well away from threads that discuss SG or policy. I just donāt have the heart to start over again and spend more again to start from scratch. It took me ages to build up my roster and I donāt feel that I even have the time to do it over. I want to stick it out here to make my third cake day.
I have pretty much recovered from the first round of TACE chemo and have my follow up appointment to discuss the results of the next CT and bloodwork (tumour shrinkage, tumour markers and liver function on my birthday of all things, in about 3.5 weeks). Presumably they will follow with another round of TACE. Iām finding it a little hard to feel cheerful quite frankly.
Take care and love.

Australia has pretty much become cashless. A lot of businesses advertise that they prefer plastic if possible. I also really like social distancing.

Prayers to you @sft1965 ā¦ I was just catching up on the forums and didnāt know you were going through chemo. Thoughts and prayers to you, @eagle1 , everyone on The Ghost Ship, and everyone affected by the loss of your eternal leader TGW. So I guess that means all of us. Try to stay as positive as you can, even though it is hard sometimes, of course. Hopes for a complete recovery @sft1965 during this trying time.

@arrow_slinger They have already told me it is terminal, just how much time I get is up for question. 
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers.

Wow, I am truly sorry to hear that news. I donāt know what to say except may you (and everyone) live your life to the fullest that is possible. I definitely can understand now why itās hard to be cheerful and I am very saddened that this is happening to you. Glad you are getting your alliance messages, and I truly hope you can find some comfort in them and this forum. Best wishes @sft1965 !!

Spreading sunshine is tough, when there seems very little to be positive about. 
I visited a family friend over the weekend who also has a terminal diagnosis. After sharing the would have, could have, and if only Iād known stories, she shared sheās determined to live every day she has left to its fullest even though sheās now in a hospice.
She pulled out her phone and joyfully shared the many pics of friends and family from all over the world and waiting impatiently for her children in Australia (of all places lol) to be allowed into the country. She knows she is loved and appreciated and I hope you too are reminded by people in your RL sphere that you matter! Sharing a smile, a helping handā¦ A hilarious meme or storyā¦
Infinite blessings to you .
Ps. Sending virtual 
s to you too @eagle1. So glad you check in with the forum every now and then

I told him many times that I for one (and many others) appreciated him here, even when we disagreed (which wasnāt that often).
And holy crap! Iām 9th all time for likes? Ahead of @Kerridoc? This is a very weird forum

I also I am sad to hear about your health situation.
I have been a little more fortunate after getting two tumors removed and although I have to get checked every three months I canāt imagine what you are going through.
A year and a half ago I didnāt think Iād still be here.
I think you already know this but the only thing I can say as live every moment you have left to the fullest.
Donāt mean to sound like a clichĆ© but whatever brings your joy stay close to that.
Iāll be thinking of you.
@eagle1 just want you to know that I am thinking of you often and of course I wonāt forget Dave.
I am 100% sure as he was that we wouldāve been good friends.
We will get together on the other side and definitely raise some hell.
