Another Cancer Blogger says goodbye. I've been following Jim Tuffin's fight for a while and heard today that he died on the 24th March 2013. There are some useful lessons in his blog (I hope it stays up) which should humble us all. Dealing with a terminal prognosis and keeping on going and letting us know about it too. It's sobering stuff for me. I suggest that those of us who have lived through this and lived to tell the tale relate to and feel every word of this stuff.
I was contacted by Jim perhaps 10 years ago and only ever knew him electronically in business. His last entry was on 12th March and comments on the 18th March, he was hoping to live until 18th April, his birthday. Just 12 days later he passed away.
Another cancer victim but what is interesting is his desire and drive to make sure his family were catered for and if nothing else, reading his blog will give you a sense of the way it messes with your emotions around your loved ones and your own mortality.
