It iis with a heavy heart that I share this message with all of you from our friend and colleague, @sirgalahad. His sister Gillian received some very distressing news recently. She had some testing done and the results came back positive for cancer. Unfortunately, it is not localized in only one place. It is everywhere, and because of that, she is determined not to seek heroic efforts in the form of any kind of treatment.
Obviously, this has been very distressing for our Aussie friend. I know if my loved one was facing similar circumstances, I would want them to try anything and everything to get better. My own daughter is struggling even now with health issues that normally an elderly person would have. We try it all, and hope for the best.
Let's keep Sir G. In our thoughts and prayers, and send all the positive encouragement we can to him. He will appreciate it very much, I am certain. Thank you, Mayo Clinic Connect family. @lisalucier, @gingerw, @colleenyoung . Thank you all for being such a caring community.

@mamacita I certainly will be keeping @sirgalahad close in thoughts nd prayers. I read the rest of the messages in this thread, and feel the same. Fear and nerves may make us strike out in anger, and not even think about how it may be perceived by others.
@lisalucier @hopeful33250 @parus @lioness @colleenyoung @gailb and others, I've been out of electronic communication since last Sunday due to a trip out to the desert. We just got back late this afternoon. Most likely I am just going to have to delete all of the posts that came in to me and slog through different threads in the next week to get caught up! For those who are in need of a hug I send you one cyberly, for those who have earned a pat on the shoulder I am sending that to you also. It seems very strange to be part of this cyber table and then suddenly have it taken away from me! I have missed you all....
