Yesterday morning may have been the worst day of my life.

My wife's cancer has come back and it has spread very rapidly through her body and systems. My heart has never felt so heavy. I don't know what makes me sadder, the thought that my best friend and lover is dying or that I'll have to raise our very young son without her.

Today is my last day at work. I quit this morning. she doesn't have the strength to take care of our son by herself anymore. I'll be doing some freelance work from the home and for the time being I'm going to take her away from here and just go away from it all.

So long gang, I'll miss our silly debating and quarrels.

Stuart, - take care good friend, I have your e-mail addy and hope to see you again someday in the future.

"Ralek" - I know the secret ;) Take it easy on the traditional guys. Neither one can prepare you for some things in your life although they can be focuses of distraction and positive things.

I love kungfu always will.

Think positive! Go outside and play!

I hope your wife is ok.

But just for the record i really don't train. There must some other person there that is being mistaken for me. Go to the yamasaki school with your friend and see for yourself that it's a different person.

I wish your family luck and your wife get better.

Have you considered taking her to someone that knows qigong? I have heard it can help people with cancer.

Good luck and God bless your wife. Whatever you do, don't let those doctors poison her with chemo - I lost two cousins that way. I'm sure they were going to die anyway, but the chemo seemed to accelerate the process.

Keep your head up, bro.

We'll all keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Hopefully we'll see you again in the future and you'll bring us happy news. Good luck.

And Ralek, cudos for handling this with class and acknowledging that you were just trying to get a rise out of the rest of. Not that you care much, but that was classy move that raises my opinion of you.

Sometimes life just isn't fair especially to good people. But God has a purpose for every situation that we are faced that will test your faith, strength, and your view on life. Be strong for your wife, cause she will her draw strenght and her will to fight this from you most importantly you have be the guide for your little man, cause he's going to look to daddy for answeres.


Having been in your situation I truly feel your pain....The mother of my son was murdered in 98
and I'm still fighting, trying to show my son
the joy in life. Its a long tough road but everyday that passes it gets a little more easier you'll see just keep the faith and God will give you the strength. :)

Suddenly everything else pales in comparison.

My sympathies--and my admiration for doing the right thing. Quitting your job to spend time with your wife in what may very likely be her last days is the right action to take. Your presence and support will do more than the most powerful medical intervention to either heal her or ease her transition from this life. And your presence for your son, the life you created with your wife, is so important right now.

It's OK to cry, it's all right to grieve.

We're with ya, man. Take care.

I would say that I know what you were going through, but I don't. A close friend of mine had cancer, but she is now in remission. I pray that this will be true for your wife also. Take care man. I wish you both the best.

Shaolin Tiger-

There is a guy who posts alot on the Taijiquan and Internal martial arts forum at KFO- his screen name is Earthdragon. He studies with a famous chiqong master who is supposed to have cured cancer and aids with her chiqong- you might wanna try contacting him.

best of luck

Go forward, my son, and
be like unto a torch
upon the darkness. Thou
are stripped now, of all
that was before. Look
not to thy fellow men
for guidance or
countenance- they canst
advise you no longer.
Thou shalt be as dust
now, and dust shall be
upon the tongues of thy
enemy. Verily, thou
shalt herald the coming
of the new age upon
man."

That's rough news. I haven't really spoken with you before on this forum, but I wish your family the best.

As far as rolls/ralek, I'm **** impressed. He shows himself to be a fine friend. This speaks as much for tiger as it does for rolls, and my opinion dropped about twenty points for any members who used this moment to slam rolls. He showed more character than anyone except tiger on this particular thread, and I intend to keep that in mind whenever I see his posts.

when i was 9 this girl in elementary,not really my friend but i would say hello she died from cancer;i didnt see her for 4months ...one day the class went to visit at her house,she was going through chemo,and it really bugged me out..one face then 4months later another,
so thats when death became a concept in my eye opposed to bieng a brat and ants intha microscope(hehe)

on a lighter note my best friend when i was 14 he was 18 totally cool dude/every fall his bronchitis would act up.
1year he had chest flu and i remember cruising with him & bob marley
and im like whats wrong sick cant take it,and hes all naw just my bronchitis
two weeks later he went in a coma for three weeks and passed through

it was cool though because nobody knew so he didnt know and just passed out and left

tripped the hell outta me i was in a ruff period
for the next 8months i thought i had cancer

I'm sorry for your news. All the best with the coming journey and do what feels right to you to do.When I lost my father to cancer last year, it was a big consolation knowing that he spent his time doing what he wanted to do, not what others thought best for him to do.

Best wishes

Tiger,

The nutritional healing program my girlfriend is currently on and has been getting miraculous results with has cured many cases of cancer and handles the root physical cause for the reason cancer develops in the first place.

If you and your wife are interested I can refer you to the woman who runs the program out here in Hollywood. The cost by the way is insanely cheap.

Good luck to you and your wife. Stay ubeat! There is ALWAYS hope. :)

A very good friend of mine way diagnosed with the big C, about 5 years ago. She still has it, and it's a constant battle, but they thought she would be dead in 2 years at the most. Obviously, they were wrong.

Prana gives a great example for us all. Prayer is a miracle worker.
