One of our long time members and friend of mine needs some good thoughts, well wishes and
some cheering up. SkyHook5652, you're a wonderful man and I'm sorry for what you're going through. I just wanted you to know how much we all care.

I forgot to write why he needs them. He is terminally ill.

Many prayers and thoughts.

Thoughts and many prayers for your friend..

awwww....so sorry to hear that...prayers indeed

Good luck SkyHook........may your belssings be many

Sorry to hear this. Here is to wishing you well.

I could sing you a song SkyHook.
This would cheer you up.
It would be very awful.
And amusing.
We share a friend in Ruth.
So I know you have good friends.
I am glad you have enjoyed this gift.
My thoughts are with you :-)

Hey Sky,

Before you go wandering off into another form of cosmic consciousness I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts in this life. Your Earthly presence was greatly appreciated. And still is appreciated should you decide to stick around for a while yet. Not sure what kind of witchdoctor foretold your future but I never did place much value in fortune telling, even when it's disguised as modern medical analysis. Newton was wrong about his balls ya know. So be leery of those scientific witchdoctors who use those electron oscilloscope crystal ball thingies.

Have you gotten a second opinion from a real witch?

That's the first thing I'd do. Even if she confirms your fate, it can still be a rewarding experiencing just having talked with her.

If I had numbered days I date a witch.

Hmmm? Come to think of it, my days are numbered, I just don't know what the numbers are.

Well, ok. You have fun now.

Owl run off and see about dating the witch.

Thank you all so much for the positive thoughts, well wishes and prayers.

Just to update everyone, the diagnosis is metastatic gastric cancer, which means it started in the stomach and has spread to the colon, liver and lymph nodes. I'm going through chemotherapy now and it is working as well as can be expected. The prognosis is pretty good all things considered. It's not a very aggressive cancer so that combined with the chemo puts my "time frame" at anywhere from several months to a year or more depending on various factors.

To all my friends in the Sci&Phi forum, thanks for some of the most stimulating and enlightening conversations I have ever had. Particularly the really involved ones with myself, Abra and Jeannie ".vs." the hard-core materialists. And although I may not be posting much lately, I am following most of the threads - and maybe I'll jump in if something tweaks my fancy.

Again, thanks to all for the well wishes.

And "I'll be back" is an appropriate phrase considering my belief system.

Prayers and good thoughts being sent your way..... Keep strong may each day bring you new hope............

Prayers for you sir ! You do'nt know me but oths on here do.Ruthie asked and she shall receive.Godbless you !
