I’m sorry but I’ve decided to stop doing these listings purely because of how I am now, 22 Mets to spine, hips, Sternum and Ribs, the fact I don’t drive any more so can’t visit our lovely local Church who have been Gracious enough to allow me to remember all those we have known all these years.

RIP Friends, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

To Valleyboy, Bazza, all the other poor guys and their families who left us in 2020 RIP.

Bazza in his own inimitable style says with this pandemic and the limitations it put on his freedom he couldn't have picked a better time to go.

What a man.

Sorry to see this Exbus; you have done a marvellous job for many years and it has been much appreciated.

The friends that we have found and lost here each leave a footprint, some more than others but every one of them matters.

Stay safe,

Lyn

Thank you Lyn, you have been a great source of information over the years.

I feel now that I must look after My wife, and my own deteriorating health, but we will both continue to pray for all of you for as long as we are able. Over 14 years with this disease now, but the Mets are making themselves known, but pains are not in the same place each day, which I find puzzling.

Chris.

Dear Chris,

I'm so sorry to read your latest news. You and Shirley are true friends to so many of us, and have been for so very many years, all the way back to 2005.

I think I'm speaking on behalf of over 100 people when I say how much we have enjoyed our meets ups with you both every year, summer and winter, and all those separate occasions where you've travelled to meet members in all parts of the UK.

You're a legend my dear mate, seriously!

And never ever give up.

Love to you and Shirley

And a big warm Geordie hug

From

George, Lynn and Katrina

What plans are you making George for your big 70th birthday bash?

Great to hear from you on the forum.

Hi Jas,

I do hope all is well with you and yours

It hasn't been a year for seeing plans through has it? May 2019 Golden wedding party - down the pan, son's wedding followed the same route a few days later.

But we're just a few of the hundreds of thousands who've had the same problem, aren't we?

Have to be thankful that we're still around. And those of us here who are off treatment for a few more months are praying for our friends to get through the big PCa battles they face at the moment.

Honestly, If I get to my 70th in March 2021, I'll be very happy to have a quiet celebration of the birthday I never expected to see.

Stay well my friend, good to see you here again.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris and Shirley. and anyone else here going though a hard time.

It is so great to see you posting George. I was wondering how you were doing, particularly when they announced the tighter restrictions in the North East and on what should have been GNR day. I am still hopeful that you will appear with some jelly babies as I run past - maybe in 2021.

B2PCa was such a support to me when I needed you all.

Lots of love to you, Lynn and Katrina xxx

It seems pretty clear to me that until there is a vaccine widely taken that will greatly reduce the effects of the C virus if not stop it in it's tracks, we will continue to have varying restrictions on parts of the country making it very difficult to make future plans. However, it would be nice to meet up when we can, like we did in some previous years and while there are still some who know each other from those times, whilst providing the opportunity for more recently joined members to meet.
