A few weeks ago I was feeling pretty unwell but still struggling into work. I thought I was coming down with a bad dose of flu untill the guys at work literally forced me to go to the doctors. Anyway a week later I was in hospital for a stay of two or three days that eventually lasted for nine days, doing a fair impression of a pin cushion. Turns out I have cancer that is in a pretty advanced state and I had my first chemo last Wedneday. I am not going to go into any more details on this. I have my RV-4 wings sitting at Vans ready for shipment and do you know what, I am going to take shipment and not cancel. I am going to use the incentive of building these wings to try and beat this thing.
I am being positive about this and I am not afraid of the future. Family have been marvelous. Work friends and colleagues have also rallyed to my side. It is wonderfull the pick me up you get when you get a visitor if your in hospital.
I am going to use the incentive and the positive influence that building gives you to get as far on with this project as I can.
The major downside I have found is that after your gone life goes on and loved ones are left behind. Telling a close family member the news is so far the worst thing I have experienced in my life. My son and daughter are here in Switzerland with me this weekend and it is great. There will be tears on Sunday when they have to leave to go back to England.
