You're going through a lot and all those emotions are your feeling are to be expected. We all deeply admire the positivity you've mantained and you've handled things way better than anyone could possibly imagine.

2nd-ed.

Please get better.

Wow, you say you are afraid but you have the strength to write that powerful account of what you are going through. Nils, you must be one hell of a guy!

I opened up my computer today to the quote below ( a fresh quote evryday), it seemed incredibly appropriate once I read your piece:

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear."
-- Mark Twain

You clearly have a lot of friends here, take strength where you can, whenever you can.

Nils,

A ton of vibes, prayers, etc. Will mention this to my Irish mother-in-law and have her start working the beads (rosary) right away. She seems to have an unreal pull with the powers that be.

I was just thinking about you and TJ and the movie. God man I'm sorry to read this, let me know if there's anything you need.

Good Luck
Jay

+++vibes+++ and prayers are headed your way.

As usual, I can't say anything to make you feel better except that my heart goes out to you, and I hope for you to beat this and return to your normal life.

However, I think that the collective of positive thoughts and posts on this forum ought to make you feel a little better. I'm constantly amazed by the caring, love, and generosity that pours out of the TGR forums. I've seen first-hand how this forum really does make an impact on people in dark times. Take some comfort in that, and please, GET BETTER!

You do what you have to do and give it your best shot. It is an entirely normal reaction to bloody hate it, feel upset and despondant when you've had news like that. Give yourself a couple of days reflection and feeling pissy then turn it on its head channel your energies into the big fight. You are physically and mentally strong, you have loving friends and a lot of support. That gives you the best odds ever.

**lemon boy** · 05-02-2007, 07:24 AM

Damn dude,

I don't have any magic words for you cause this is a tough row to hoe. But I am pulling for you, all the time.

**cdlv** · 05-02-2007, 07:25 AM

positive vibes sent your way

**cinnepa** · 05-02-2007, 07:29 AM

be strong man, i'm not the religious type but i'll send some ++++++++++++ prayers your way.

**haydukelives** · 05-02-2007, 07:35 AM

it is very serious and deadly, but there have been cases where all evidence of disease HAS TOTALLY DISAPPEARED. you are very strong , and i am sure you are very grateful for many good things in your life, so aim your thoughts in that direction; its good for your immune system

**Steven S. Dallas** · 05-02-2007, 07:37 AM

Hang tough buddy- I know you can get through this.

**strawjack** · 05-02-2007, 07:52 AM

you will win!

**MarsB** · 05-02-2007, 08:18 AM

Nils, the fight simply went into extra rounds. Lace 'em up, get back in the ring. Beat that bitch down once and for all. We expect nothing less.

**H-man** · 05-02-2007, 08:48 AM

Fuck Nils, that really sucks.

I have said it before in other threads, that you have to keep fighting this thing. Try and stay positive as difficult as it is. If anyone can kick the shit out of this thing it is you.

My most positive vibes are sent man.

**J-Rad** · 05-02-2007, 09:30 AM

sorry to hear it, stay positive. looking forward to meeting you one day when this is all over.

**PNWbrit** · 05-02-2007, 09:38 AM

Nils - hang in there.

Looking forward to skiing with you again next winter. (Sq99 already posted the pictures I was looking for.)

**Dhelihiker** · 05-02-2007, 09:51 AM

Stay positive, the mind is a powerful thing-
sorry for your troubles

**Art Shirk** · 05-02-2007, 10:03 AM

Fuck that cancer up. My Mom is in the process of beating her cancer into submission. Come on, keep going. +++++++

**watersnowdirt** · 05-02-2007, 10:03 AM

I'm so sorry to read this. The tough blows seem to keep coming, and you keep standing up to them. I can only imagine that it gets hard to keep finding the strength, but you do, and that's great to hear. Seems completely normal to feel anger, rage, sadness.

Let us know how we can help - you've got such a huge network here ready to kick into gear.

I hope you're able to get that bike ride in! I bet the little expeditions like that go along way toward keeping you upbeat.

Thinking of you.

**scarlet begonias** · 05-02-2007, 10:12 AM

Nils,

I second everything that everyone has said. Especially Trayc. It is ok to be scared.

I have no words of wisdom for you, but I can tell you I will pray for you, and I know you will beat this fucker down. Keep a smile on your wonderful face and know in your heart that you have a TON (more than a ton) of friends out here who love you, care for you and will be here to help & support you during all stages of this battle.

If you ever need a green mountain retreat, you know Matt & I always welcome you into our home. If you ever need a ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on or someone to help you take shots of Petron, you've got my digits!

Rock on my friend - you are in my heart, thoughts, and prayers.

As Splat said - I love you MANG!

**Telenater** · 05-02-2007, 10:19 AM

What to say to news like this?....

Keep on fighting, never give up, and I'll ski with you next time we cross paths.

We'll be thinking positive thoughts for you (and with you).
