Turns out I have brain cancer that moved there from my lungs. Prognosis is poor. I had brain surgery a couple of weeks ago.
Of course, being me, I intend to fight hard to the very end, and beat the odds. I may well be around for harvest season this year. That is my intent. Normal prognosis is in weeks.
I've held off on bringing this up on FR for several reasons. But the time to bring it up is now.
Consider this my opus. It's as close as I'm going to get to giving one.
I really want to thank Jim for giving us a forum. Jim, you do good work. Thanks.

I will pray for your healing, Johnny. We need your voice and your passion if we are to win this war.
Adapt and overcome, Brother. I’ll be praying for you to do just that.
Opus rejected with extreme prejudice!
Eagles Up!
Sad news to start the day with, JRandom. Holding out for a miracle! If you’re not the most original person here, it’s darn close!
Oh, gee whiz, Johnny!
As a fellow cancer patient, you have my deepest sympathy. I
hope that you follow all instructions and that you are able to
eliminate the cancer and make a full recovery.
May God Bless and keep you, and my prayers are humbly
offered in the Holy Name of Jesus. Amen.
I will say a prayer for you.

As we used to say in my old artillery battalion, "They can kill us, and they can eat us, but it doesn't mean we have to taste good!"
I know that you will give it one hell of a fight!
I’m sorry to hear that Johnny. You are in my prayers.
Johnny, is there anything we can do to help you?
It has been a privilege to read your posts over the years. Know that you are and have been an inspiration to many FRiends on this forum.
I’ll be lifting you up in my prayers, Johnny.

Prayers for you my FRiend. May the Lord be with you.
Sorry to hear. : (

You have my prayers. Saw this and thought about you ......
“People who found something to live and die for always live in the hope of success. They never allow doubts to create distances between them and their harvest time ...... ” ― Israelmore Ayivor
And one more, that I have found most relevant in the last year ....
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Praying for you.
Wow.
Look, everyone knows there is a time to check out, but you’re still young and full of piss and vinegar.
I will ask the Lord more time for you.
If you can, please keep us posted.
G-d bless you.

Prayers Up! also check out www.paudarco.com use the extract from GNC, Whole Foods or such. Many ‘terminal’ lives saved. I used it and my radiation therapist agreed it can be very useful. Whenever someone says the “C” word o me I say pau d’arco.
I’m praying for you Johnny. You don’t know how much it has meant to have your voice here on these forums.
I’ve been a freak my whole life because of my obsession with self-sufficiency. Somehow you made being a freak like that ok.
