Losing a customer in the worst way!!

[Running Mommy]

Sigh.... Just found out that a customer who bought a mtn bike from us a few months back has been given 24 hours to live...
Melanoma- re-occurance..
When he came in he bought the bike as something to look forward to doing in recovery. He down played the cancer, and was so positive. He was stoked that he would be able to ride as he recovered.
Sadly, that is not going to happen.
I'm just so sad right now. He has a wife and kids... sigh...
Cancer stinks!

So do me a favor ladies, if you go for a bike ride tomorrow do it for "Jack" (not his real name). Be grateful that you were given the day to ride. I know I'll be.

Thanks all.
Ride safe

I totally agree in your be grateful bit. We should all be. Always. I always remind myself when i start to complain or moan and groan. Don't feel sad. Cancer can be very painful. Eternal peace is a release.

agreed that eternal peace will be a release for him.
Thanks for the good thoughts. I just can't get him out of my head. I remember so well the last time he was in and we were talking about his little "set back"... sigh..

oh, so sorry to hear that Denise.

I'll add an extra dollop of gratitude today.

What a sad story but you have hit the nail on the head

So do me a favor ladies, if you go for a bike ride tomorrow do it for "Jack" (not his real name). Be grateful that you were given the day to ride. I know I'll be.

So sad for his family and friends.

Anyone who knows a cancer patient please look this up; chelation.
About 90% of sufferers RECOVER! it doesnt hurt, its not terribly expensive and almost everyone can do it.The exception of people not recovering, are lung cancer and total spread of maligant,thru whole body.
I get my IVC at a clinic that has one or two smiling people hooked up to another IV with chelating agents, and they are all positive, getting better and iriding bikes( yes, all of them!) Only one lady out of a dozen passed away. She had total uterine, and other cancers well advanced before she came in.( chemo wouldnt have helped either). IVC( Vitamin C in a IV, to about 300,000 units, thats like 3 bottles at once of 1000 mg) is also a chelating agent.
Chelation cures, yes cures( Ive talked to people) heart attacks( where angioplasty only set up shop),arteriosclerosis and some other things.
The big pharma dont like it, as they make tonnes of money off other, harsher treatments. But ,my friends at the clinic are doing better for it!
