Help Ryan fight his cancer

It’s why I’ve never liked the words to auld Lang syne. “Should aquaintance be forgot“.

No, they should be loved and remembered, never forgotten.

The song is meant to be a reminder to not forget old acquaintances/friends/family.

RIP to those who weren't lucky enough to see 2018

Still remember reading each of those posts. Hopefully the memory of these guys will live on.

This thread is so sad. Remembering Ryan and Xez.

I actually feel bad for Xez as he never made it clear how bad it was.

We are all at the mercy of the crap the universe throws at us I'm afraid. Deal with it, fight it but sometimes you just can't win.

Indeed, Xez lost his battle whilst offering my twin brother support and advice with his own battle with bowel cancer.

Sadly my brother also lost his fight on the 20th Oct 2017, they are not forgotten.....

I remember when this popped up earlier this year, and was gutted when I heard Ryan has lost his fight. I didn't realise then how close to home this would be in just a few months time.

I lost my dad 2 weeks ago (lung cancer) having only being diagnosed in Septempber, watching him fade away was the toughest thing I've ever been through and utterly heartbreaking.

Very sad reminder. RIP to them both and anyone else affected by this horrible disease.

Thoughts with you mate, i lost my Dad a year ago yesterday of non hodgkin lymphoma aged 56.. hardest thing in the world watching their final moments. It gets easier with time, but you carry it with you always.

Hi I’m Xez Robs sister, so sorry to hear about your twin brother. It’s nice to see that he is being remembered on here
