Merek, this definition of "rest" sucks. It does not sound like any fun at all

God bless. We have all lost loved ones to cancer, and your courage is nothing short of inspirational. Logging in from Shanghai, China, to let you know that you are and will continue to touch the lives of people whom you have never met, and that your very presence makes us all better people.

Yeah this. Brutal time for the forums to go out.

Fingers, toes and all other crossable body parts are crossed.

Had to re-register because my password stopped working. Just wanted to mention that I've been lurking 2+2 since '05 and this was the one thread I kept thinking about the last 2 weeks. Hoping for the best.

Yeah, but I don't have access to the ancient e-mail account I used to register so I can't be verified. Browser populated my default PW from before but it didn't work.

This ^. What terrible timing for the forums to be down! I've been hoping and praying that he is alright.

Hope you are feeling better, Merek

. Please let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it.

Seriously, I know I used my one time on Merek before but I am sure I will be allowed another.

One time.

y'know.. why? that kinda goes against the whole idea of this thread imo. Not to be harsh, but Merek didn't start this thread for any reason other than to chronicle his passing. I think it's much better for us to respect that by respecting his diary of the process of it, and his willingness to share it all with us. There's no point in prolonging suffering imo.

Thank you Merek.

Namaste

Oh believe me, it wasn't to prolong his suffering. More a one time that the treatment was working and a miracle was on the cards. Last we knew, the docs were still trying chemo, and Merek wasn't giving up.

I obviously don't want him to suffer.

I'm sorry Klavs, my post was pretty harsh, and I do apologize. Extreme frustration has been ruling my life recently and I projected it onto this thread/ you. My apologies also to anyone else who was disturbed or offended by my unintentional cynicism.
