Guys,

some of my posts may have seem'd a bit strange, nothing new there i hear a few say, well for a while now my mind as been on other things..........

Today my partner got the "All Clear" i'm sure a few know what that means, we or should i say she as been living with the knowledge she had Cancer, at 42 thats not what anyone wants, i suppose not at any age realy.

Where gonna take a break some where then when we get back i can get the GT1 build back up to speed, it as fell behind but i have amassed a huge pile of goodies to place upon her and she should be up and racing mid-season.

So guys if ive given the impression of been a bit off or sharp at times now you know the reason why,

she's "All Clear" n we are both "Very Happy"

Lesson to learn, enjoy what you have whilst you can, you never know whats round the corner, and if you have any doubts, worrys get in there early, it worked for us.

Wonderful news!

Yes indeed...truly excellent...

Puts it all in focus really...

excellent news

The sentiments of everybody here

Excellent news i bet you are both very relived and very happy

David

too rite we are, n thnx for the comments, i dont know which is hardest, having the illness or watchin some one you love, and i dont mind using the word love, go through it all, at times i felt very selfish, there was bugger all wrong with me but i felt so down, angry, all sorts of things, not telling anyone because you know it would make them feel awkward around you, trying to smile and be normal ect....
I tell you this though, some of the sights i saw in hospitals ect made me realise just how lucky most of us are.........

I'll bet you are both so relieved, Jon.
The big 'C' has touched my fmaily several times in the last few years, it's nice to hear a story with a happy ending.
I'm sure this has made you take stock of what is / isn't important, sounds like it anyway.
Enjoy your break away.
ATB to you both,
Rick

good news indeed ,am happy for you both

Jon - I read your posting with the mightiest feeling of compasion. No words are ever enough, but what is enough is knowing you have many 'friends' around you to support you. I'm sure I speak for many on LB when I say that although we are spread around the country we all have one common bond - our cars. But let's not forget those who really do mean the most to us - and they are the one's who 'stamp our passports'... of course I mean our partners.

It's fantastic news Jon... ATB from our little Team over in Yorks.

Good news to hear, hope you and the missus have a good break!

congrats, and best wishes to the missus

Great news Jon, Have a good holiday, you both obviously deserve a good break.

Gordon

Good news, very well received Jon!
Hope she & thee enjoy a well deserved break and look forward to more of the usual Ison banter in the future.

Best Regards

Nick205

Congrats mate, pleased for ya and the misses.

fantastic news - pleased for you both.

Dave

Makes even a GT1 pale into insignificance!

It's been in my extended family too, so know how you feel.

Regards to all

We all share your joy, Jon.
Have a great time.

Steve

That's good news Jon- glad to hear it.

Have a good holiday.

James

P.S. Try not to modify the wheelbase of this GT1 will you.

good news jon, puts that wedding thread into perspective too...

Ned.

glad to hear that, didnt detect any difference in you (in the nicest way)

7 or so years back my wife was in hospital with a growth and we spent 24 hrs not knowing if it was gonna be bad news or not. I have had a tiny taste of what that feels like.

cheers

steve

Very glad to hear it Jon. Everyone wishes you the best. It must be a great relief for you both.

When I 1st met her she was'nt or had never had naff all to do with cars other than driving them, I was testing at donnington, she dint even know where it was, 1/2 way thru the session she turned up (just in time for me to buy lunch mind you) I knew then i had found a good'en, a few on here where there at the time and may remember, i just remember thinking no one as ever done that for me, it felt good.

All the best for you both and may the future only hold good things.

Know what its like, GF lost her sister 3 yrs ago at the age of 21 thru lukemia, not a nice experience.

Chin up and start building like a man possessed

I was talking to the bloke in the blue jacket leaning on the wall just yesterday Jon.He told me about his plans, what do you reckon. I thought "April fools day or what" but he says not.

yours, Pete.

lost an auntie to cancer ..... terrible ......... all the best and good luck for the future

woodster

Just to echo the feelings expressed by all the folks aready. Well done, and pass on our best regards.

It's kinda odd how someone I know only through a message board can move me. I read your post with my mouth hanging open.

All the best. Enjoy your break.

Brilliant news! What a relief! Have a great holiday
ATB fozzie

Yeah, that's me on the right in the striped jacket. Now how the hell did I get there???

Many congratulations to you and to your intended, Jon I lost my first wife to cancer 8 years ago, not to throw a downer but to let you know that I mean it when I say, "Love her like there's no tomorrow".

All the very best,

Pete
