Dang that sucks Colmbo, I 'm wishing for you the best outcome possible. I'm kinda in the same boat, I've got emphysema and a 20% lung function. Now they've discovered kidney cancer, still waiting on how their gonna deal with that.

Been out of the game for awhile so I decided I'd come back and spend some time with old friends...problem is from what I read all the crap is still there, no new maps, insane ballistics, bizzare flight characteristics.  Man I was hoping a lot of that stuff had been dealt with by now. Oh well, I still may give it a try, I've made so many good friends over the years. If I don't see none of ya well :salute :cheers: It was the best money I spent for a lot of years and I'll never forget the excitement of WBs 1.11 and found out I really could fly a jug online.

Aztec ,
are you the same "Aztec" squadie from 418 RCAF  squad?!  sorry to hear ! praying for you  :pray

I'm still here so far.  For the most part it seems that treatment options have ended.  And in fact my doctor has now given me a timeline.....a few weeks to maybe 18 months.  The future now is easy for me, my lovely wife Bobbi has the hard part now.

  I'm glad to hear you understand the spouse always has it the toughest!  Cant tell you how many times I heard"hows your wife" yet almost no one asks how you are doing! Plz dont take this the wrong way,it's tough on both.

   Keep on keeping on!

It's hard for both of you, we know that.  I'm watching my parents go through something similar.

Easy enough to say be strong and so on, until it happens to you.  We're with you, dude, and this is a good place to vent and get what comfort we can give.

Enjoy every minute, my friend.   You can take comfort in knowing the positive impact you’ve had on so many. 

Heck, try some experimental stuff if you can. 

Wishing you all the best.

He's been a great asset to this game and I am glad for him."
