Just an update on my problems & it’s time I put all the assumptions & innuendos to rest.
But before I do, I’d like to make one thing perfectly clear.
I DON’T CARE.
By this. I mean that I DON’T CARE what you may think or say about me.
I believe that everyone has a right to their own opinion.
It’s been my life & I’ve tried to live it honestly & truthful, if I’ve held back on saying things, then that’s been my business, nobody else’s.
Some I’ve held back on because others have their own problems & don’t need to add mine.
If that’s offended any, I DON’T CARE.
I make no apologies for this.
Thank you also to my overseas associates & friends that I hold in high esteem, Rick Gelinas, Ken Wainwright & Lee Lake, Jaime Coelho, Lora & John Olson, Kristie Brown Paulsen, Bill Yeadon, Steve Toburen, Jim Eckman, Mikey Pailliotet, Damon Williams, Doyle Bloss, Jerry Valentine & so many others.
Also to Australian industry suppliers, Tam Le, John & Grant Hickey, Toby Bredhauer & others that I also may have missed.
Aussies that I hold dear: Raja & Frank Devine, Pete Black, Col Foster & many from the old infamous ACCI days, far too many to mention here, & others We have since been associated with.
In June of 2020, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
In December last year, I was advised that it had spread.
I was then placed on double doses of Chemo.
On 23rd of February, I was told that I was being taken off of Chemo as it was not working & had spread to my bones & in the lymph nodes in my chest.
I was also advised that I had 3 - 6 months before I fall off of my perch.
We’ll see, I don’t accept their time frame.
I DON’T want any outpourings of grief & / or sympathy.
Hence I DO NOT WANT THIS BROADCAST OUTSIDE OF OUR INDUSTRY.
I especially don’t want any phone calls of this nature.
The more I get, the worse the stress is.
I don’t need it, let’s just get on with enjoying life & living.
I accept it for what it’s worth.
People have enough problems in their own lives without me adding to them.
I’ll still be here to
stir the pot occasionally. 
Never, ever, give up.
IF I can ever help anyone within our industry, I’m always happy to try & help.
Saturday 9th
My hearing has failed in two ways.
I have been having hearing loss which has gotten worse.
Today, hearing is distorted in left ear, whilst right ear is like a scraping sound.
Probably all due to the various medications.
Hence, phone calls are, ATPIT, pretty useless.
Starting on a “new” drug on the 28th, “Denosunab”.
Just keep on practicing.
Also going more onto traditional, natural remedies that most “Medical PRACTITEioners “ frown upon.
I don’t care what they say.
PLEASE DO NOT POST ON OPEN FACEBOOK PAGE UNTIL AFTER I’M GONE.
Thank you.
Take care & stay safe everyone.
