Dude you can't just give up.. I mean that's real easy for me to say I don't have the first clue of what it's really like but man.. heavy.

Ha Ha! Made you look.

He's right Ross. I know it's easy for us to say, but we don't want those words to come out of your mouth.

So sorry to hear that Ross. In my opinion, making and sharing the best of what you have with your friends and loved ones is paramount as you don't want to live a life with regrets.

We're all continuing to be hopeful.

You're still that crazy kid who gaps stairs at BC Place and freaks everyone out by tossing your bike on landing. It always puts a smile on my face when I think about it. :)

sucks to hear Ross, but you have to do what you feel is best. enjoy every moment and godspeed.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Ross, it is your choice and the courage it takes to make that decision is staggering. :damn:

Ross you are a huge part of this online community. Very few online forums have people who actually know each other in real life that can tie our online handles with a real person.

We all go back more than 10 years and that make us all family.

I think everyone here will agree that we need to have a huge BBQ on Fromme with you as our guest of honor for a celebration of life.

What do you say?

Damn Rossco, I admire your courage and like the rest of us here I really appreciate you sharing your life with us. I keep lurking this thread to see how you are doing but I usually find that I am short of words and that doesn't happen to me very often.

And pics or GTFO. :)

I hope that there is some type of EI benefit that allows you to not work and simply enjoy everything that you can for as long as you can. Best thoughts to you and those close to you.

It's heartbreaking to see you go through this, but I'm so glad you're taking charge of the situation. Doctors would pummel you into a pulp if you didn't stop them. Kudos to you for making your own choices.
