I hate hearing that word spoken in any conversation, my deepest simpathy tomcat I sincerly hope that your time left is comfortable and you can get a lot of tickets out of the bucket list.May the fishing gods and weather god shine on you,and may the waters you travel on be smooth

Gday Tomcat,

Thank you for your advice on subjects both recently and in the past.

Its no consolation, but my father in law has been dodging the effects of advanced Prostate cancer for the last 6 years but it may will eventually get him. Hopefully not.

I usually have a light hearted piss taking response to most things on here, but I sincerely hope you can get through the challenges that you have in front you.

Good luck mate.

So sorry to hear that. I wish all the best for you and your family. A good friend of mine is going thru the same at present. 

Tight lines Tomcat.

 That would have been very distressing news to hear Tomcat. Whilst we probably haven't met, we all share a common passion (fishing), so on behalf of my family and friends heres wishing you all the best for whatever extra time you can grab mate.  Make sure you spend as much of it as you can with your loved ones and doing the things you love to do.

Unfortunately the big "C" effects just about all of us, wether its a family member or a friend or work colleague or you yourself its all too common. I certainly feel for you and your family.

As others have said, put up some pics of your fishing exploits for prosperity, we would all love to see them and help put a face to a name.

 not good to hear at all. hope you make the most of what time you have left with your family and make the time a happy time with them so they remember the way you were and not what that stuff has done to you.

our thoughts are with you and yours. 

Tight lines tomcat

Always so sad to hear when this happens to someone. Hope you can spend the rest of your time as pain free as possible.

Hope the family is going ok (considering the situation).

that is sad to hear.  best wishes to you and your family in these tough times.

All the best for the coming months ,most have said what is to be said .time with friends and family is what is important.all the best to your family in the coming months .

Terrible news to hear.  If you're up for some company or a chat in the next little while, then let me know, I'll walk around and say gday.  All the best for the next few months, enjoy your family and close ones

although you were not fishing for sympathy tomcat, you well and truly got it!

reading the sentiments expressed here with my wife and remembering family and friends that have succumbed to cancer, we were reminded of one of my grandads last comments.

"there is only one thing in life you have to do, the rest is optional. enjoy each day as if it is your last"

sincerest sympathy mate

All I want is for one person to say I read this and I will try to give up.  that would mean I did help

I will try mate. I didn't know how to reply to your post because it hit home hard. I have been a smoker since 13 years old, and now 43 i realize the chances of something bad happening are very high.

I wish you and your family all the best, and I have set a goal for myself . So you have helped someone mate, and i bet i'm not the only person reading your thread that has had a wake up call about the effects of smoking.

Thanks Tomcat for sharing your fishing adventures and life on this site.  

Cheers.  Grant Arctic .

Absolutley terrible news mate, i wish you and your family all the best.

I have been following your post since you put it up and i must say, i am very impressed with the response and attitude that has been expressed. I give you and your family my best wishes and hope as you do, the people above take the message seriously. It is humbling when big men share emotions. There are a lot of great blokes on this site. A major reason why i am part of it. Hang in there mate and thanks for the advice. It is impressive to see the response you have received. If you need anything, just ask.

Regards

Dave

Never cried so much in all the response I should thank you for the lift it gives me

You're getting the message out there Tomcat. That's awesome. I will get my boys to read this and learn something, although they have sworn they will never smoke.

Hang in there Tomcat, there are a lot more people looking out for you than you can imagine, so keep the chin up high.

Gave up smoking a pack and a half a day on 3-3-89 after an accident at work where I received 40% first and second degree burns over my body and face and had my last smoke on the way to hospital. Was in there 2 weeks when I asked the missus for a smoke, she asked the nursing sister on duty and she asked her politely to leave the room, once the door was shut she let rip with words I hadn't even thought existed and proceeded to blister what new skin I had left off. That was it,didn't want to front up to that nursing sister ever again though I ran in to her years later and thanked her for the extra push to give it up.

Love that story
