Hang in there Jim. I'm a cancer survivor and I can attest to how amazing modern medicine is. You'll make it through this. Just remember there are many of us out there who have been where you are now and all we're still here to root for you and to care for you..........Doug

Take care of yourself.  You have been a great presence in these forums sorry to hear about your cancer diagnoses. I wish you all the best and hope you return to full health.

Thanks for a everything Jim. All the best to you with your battle of lung cancer. My Mother of 74 has survived her battle with lung cancer and you will too. Look forward to you being around on AVSIM for many more years.  

Good to read this as I'm 74 too.  Thanks for your thoughts!

Just catching up on such sad news, Jim.There was me thinking of you watching Koepka yesterday. I am fairly positive after the 'hurdles' you have overcome as the Administrator here, you will undoubtedly overcome this, hopefully, temporary hiatus.

All the Best for a rapid recovery. May God go with you.

Thank you Rick for your kind comments.  They mean a lot.  Hope to be out golfing again some day soon.  I would be able to play now if it were just cancer but I am also on oxygen and I wouldn't even last through the 1st hole!  But breathing is getting better so my fingers crossed!

Yours was a volunteer position that seemed like real work, many times thankless work.  It is appreciated. 

Thanks for your comments Mark.  Greatly appreciated.  Your comments were right on!

As you know Jim, I've been there, done that and have the scars but that was 1988 and medicine has come a long way since then. Believe me - a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE goes a long way in fighting your battle.

We have your back - you will be missed.  Get your wna back here ASAP.

Best wishes and prayers,

Vic

Thanks Vic.  And thanks for all your hard work and support as part of the AVSIM Moderating Team!

You're a stand-up guy and a man of fine character, Jim.  You can count on my prayers as you face this trial.  Philippians 4:6-7 comes to mind during times like this, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ *******."

Thanks Doug. I enjoyed our conversations over the years.  Thanks for your membership!
