Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / January 2004Berky
I talked with Berky (and his wife) last night. He's doing well. He has good days and bad days but no real pain. Sometimes he uses a cane and sometimes he uses a walker. He tires easily. He has plenty of meds to keep him comfortable. Sometimes he remembers and sometimes he forgets. His computer is not working and hasn't been in a while. It went to the shop to get fixed but it came home still not working like it should. So no one has checked email in weeks. This will be his last Christmas with his wife but at least he's still able to enjoy it. Bev hi bev - as we all sit around this big table of friends in the exclusive club, may i be the first to raise a glass to toast a great warrior. to berky................(klink.....klink) ~ curtis knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is optional and i join in as well and i also salute my dad.... thanks so much for the news, please tell him i wish him and his family comfort and peace thank you all for being here, laurie hi bev - as we all sit around this big table of friends in the exclusive club, may i be the first to raise a glass to toast a great warrior. to berky................(klink.....klink) ~ curtis knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is optional To 'the Warrior'..............

I don't recall your father or your discussions of him on this NG. I did not become active here until 2001. I'm sorry about your father. I know how you felt in November this year. I still get a moist set of eyes on June 28 and it's been 21 years since my father died of this terrible disease. > and here > http://psa-rising.com/books/choices.htm [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > > knowledge is power - growing old is mandatory - growing wise is > optional I didnt get a chance to mention him much steve- I moved to fl to be with him in sept of 2002 and he died nov 5,2002. none of us knew how sick he truly was - if the docs knew, they certainly didnt tell him, or else he didnt hear. there wasnt really a lot to post because he was already so ill. mostly we just helped him pass more easily - i hope at least. the booklet i got via berky helped TREMENDOUSLY - thats why i hope others will work to pass along the info. dying valiantly with this disease surely makes one a true warrior. thanks for your kind thoughts...... laurie Yes, he is quite a man.

Please give our special wishes of love and friendship to Berky and his wife when you speak with them again! He's an amazing person..... and has been an inspiration to so many, me included!!
