Stephen Sutton, Teenage Cancer Sufferer, Dies

Stephen Sutton, Teenage Cancer Sufferer, Dies
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-27408818

Folk outside the UK/Europe might not know of this guy, but he was famous for setting about raising over £3m (and counting) by using social media to tweet and FB about his battle with terminal bowel cancer.

I actually sought of met him in the hospital where he was being cared for and ultimately died as my own father is currently there battling with his own terminal cancer.

Total legend. If anyone feels like contributing a small amount to cancer research the link the just giving page is on the BBC article above. I'm in no way touting for anything, I just think his story is inspirational, especially to me in my current situation.

Poor Castrodad Sad
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

If it's any consolation... at least he isn't dead! Big Grin

Yeah sorry thats not funny.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The most horrible thing about cancer is that you almost know when you're gonna die .
How could anyone be psychologically prepared for death ?!!

You might say.... it's no laughing matter.

Say enough, and the emotions filling your audience will run the gamut. I find it scoff worthy, but then...

Regardless... nothing anyone can say sucks more than watching someone you love go through hell.

Stephen Sutton's kind of been overshadowed in my mind by Wilko Johnson. He was a rock guitar legend and actor on Game of Thrones who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given ten months to live. That was in January of last year. Since then, he's toured several times, recorded an album with Roger Daltrey, and recently turned down a spot at Glastonbury so he could receive an experimental surgery so rare and complicated it doesn't have a name that could cure him. He seems to be doing well now.

I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

Some relish, find solace, and understand in their impending demise... while others dread it, fear it, and wish it away what they will.

Many live as though they are deceased already, and I myself would be grateful for death's visitation if those dependent upon me were so no longer.

I'm going to cease responding to this, as I understand that such topics tend to erupt uncontrollably at the slightest suggestion of conflicting understanding. Smile We may later discus the lease of life... some other place at some other time.
