Hello all,
Nick went through many ups and down since I last posted here, and on Tuesday the 26th of October, he finally passed on.
After his third and most recent diagnosis with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (NHL), he told me he would like this site to continue in some form, no matter what happened with him. I don't know what direction it will take, but we'll see what unfolds.
For starters, I'm sure he'd want folks to remember - he had something to say about living with cancer quite apart from the disease outcome. He would not want anyone to come to Laughing with Cancer, see that he was not cured and think, "Hmmph. Well, that didn't work."
On the contrary, it worked beautifuly. You see, his purpose for laughing with cancer was not to cure his cancer, although he was aware a healthy attitude couldn't hurt in that regard. The purpose, as I understand it, was to be as alive and as present as possible for whatever time he had, with or without a cure.
He certainly accomplished that.
With excellent care, modern treatment, and a lot of love, he survived NHL and in many ways thrived for seven years. He turned up with Parkinson's along the way, but that didn't slow him down much either. He packed more living and loving into those seven years than many people do in a lifetime.
So, where shall we go from here? Please post your comments, ideas, or questions, and we'll see where it takes us!
Love,
Julia
Hi Julia...
Thank you for that!
What amazing memories we have which come flooding back each day in glorious colour, of many days of sunshine and laughter and very often champagne. I first met Nick about 40 years ago when he was a golden boy with cornsilk hair and the latest boots... and went on knowing him as he studied and practised what he preached, inspired & encouraged everyone else, developed and reinvented himself.
Along the way he introduced me to Dave and with John was a witness at our wedding, prodded me into my current career, and remained the nearest thing to a brother a chap could possibly be. He had good things to say about so many people... we feel as if we know some of you! In spite of feeling as if we've somehow been emptied, in spite of the terrible sadness, Nick is still present with us, his movements, expressions, voice, a golden man who will never grow older. Thank you Nick for being you, a one off.
We have recordings by the way Julia and are glad the video will still be there on the website for when we can bear to watch it again in the future...
Hair Transplant Delhi
Auto hair transplantation is a unique hair reconstruction technology, and the only technology available today capable of successfully combatting androgenetic hair loss.
In cases of androgenetic type hair loss, certain parts of the head have no remaining normal follicles capable of producing healthy hairs. At the same time, in the occipital and temporal areas of head, there are almost always large numbers of follicles which remain resistant to hair loss factors.
