cmr076Losing a member here, Kadin, to the Big "C" (Update page 6)
You guys are lucky to have eachother. I started a thread a whole back about TRUE friends, and how few and far between they seem to be. You guys have a friendship in the truest sense of the word it sounds like. I'm not the praying type, but your family and his family are in my thoughts.

That's exactly what I was going to say.
You and he are both in my thoughts and prayers today - good reminder of all that I have to be thankful for.

Tailhook 84Thank you for the update and funny story to put your friendship in perspective for the Forum. Good thoughts and prayers for you, Kadin. And Rainman, you're an awesome person and I'm glad to have met you. Look forward to doing it again.

jhe888Sorry to hear of Kadin's troubles.
And sorry to hear of yours, too Rainman.
I'll be thinking of both of you.

Skins2881What you are doing for him is immeasurable, having a friend there I'm sure means the world to him. Bless you.
Did he get to see Metallica?

We got a Suite in the American Airlines Center.
We rented a wheelchair friendly van.
He did get to see them, we left only a little early as it wore him out.
But it was a memory to last a lifetime to see him grinning ear to ear.

I appreciate the sentiment, but he isn't really a card guy.
And at this point, he can't hardly read his Kindle.
The radiation has his focus out of whack.

FlyingScotWe just lost a long time time friend to brain cancer. It is awful, but you do laugh and remember life, which is all you can do. You made each other richer and that is special. Best wishes and Godspeed in what time is left.

So let me give you a little background on the man who is Kadin....
Thank you for that glimpse.
You're not only losing a friend, but a brother.
I toast to both of you tonight.

Yes, I have been in that spot 3 times with my best friend, a long time family friend, and my father in law in Germany.
Damn, why can't the medical field come up with the final cure, preventative for cancer, of all types.
