[Jo Joeholdway WANTED $44 Outlaw]

Hi all just thought I’d post here as I share most big events here IV had an amazing amount of luck lately not gambling but just in general family life in fact everything was going amazing but life has well and truly given me a severe boot in the flute and I am inches away from turning to gambling as I’m not sleeping at all 2 days ago I recieved a phone call from my own dad telling me that after all the tests he’s had done and the bone marrow biopsy it’s been discovered he has acute myeloid leukemia he has an appointment with his specialist on Wednesday to determine whether he is healthy enough to go for the bone marrow transplant now in my heart I know he is not fit or well enough to and I know the answer will be no and if it is a no then it’s game over there is nothing else now I’m not here for financial help that is not needed in the slightest all I ask for is encouragement not to gamble and good thoughts from biam members or if anybody is religious please say an extra prayer and can everyone keep there fingers crossed for us as a family sorry for the long post but I feel I can vent or break on here while being strong for my dad

If you are in the UK sign up to gamban for 5 years. Everything in your life is good except for one potentially horrendous thing that may happen. The worst thing you can do is turn three rest of your life upside down by gambling at this time. It could cause you to spiral if the worst does happens.

In the meantime spend all the time you can with him. Something we all should do really while we have the chance.

All the best.

Remember, you’re stronger than you think. Find a hobby to distract your mind from gambling at night. I find reading things sends me to sleep some nights, or looking at funny memes. Take your self away from technology whilst you’re supposed to be sleeping, that can interfere just knowing it’s there. Hope you’re ok

I’m so sorry to hear this mate, I’m going through a very similar thing with my old man at the moment they discovered a 15cm tumour on his kidney last week. I’ve never wanted to gamble more and just escape, I’ve been trying to focus on other shit and keep my mind busy although drinking has helped. I’ve also taken all my money out in cash so it’s not such a temptation I’d recommend the same mate, it’s one of those times when you just have to press on and look for any silver linings and try to keep a smile on got your dad,

 

wishing him a good result mate x

Update all its official my old man has around 2 months to 6 months left on gods earth myelodysplastic syndrome with fibrosis is the full term and my old man being his usual self says he may be a dead man walking but he’s rare as fuck in all honesty I’m not long back from Bonny Scotland seeing family and having unlimited fun conversations so come on people let’s just live life to the max as we never know how long we have on the planet

I’m so sorry to hear this 🙁 spend every moment you can with him, and make memories to last a life time. How are you holding up? I hope you’re doing okay considering.

I’m thinking of you both x

[Jo Joeholdway WANTED $44 Outlaw]

Sorry to hear that mate. About a month ago i said you don’t have much luck ?. Enjoy the time left best you can.

[Jo Joeholdway WANTED $44 Outlaw]

Thing is and a lot will find this strange I feel extremely lucky as we get to spend time with him and say everything we want to a lot of people are not fortunate enough to get to spend time with loved ones before they go where we have time to make memories that we can treasure so really I am one of the luckiest people in the world

[Winningbird WANTED $574 Outlaw]

Ahh, maybe you could Skype him? I bet it would make his day seeing you on there 🙂

It’s so hard in times like these, but its important you know you’ve got people to talk to about it. Do you have people around you to support you? We are always here if you need a stranger 🙂

Your dad is really lucky to have such a supportive son (or daughter? sorry if I’m wrong). He sounds like a lovely, unique man. A personality like that is always worth treasuring.

[Jo Joeholdway WANTED $44 Outlaw]

Yes we talk video calls a lot but he has blood transfusions every 2 weeks and after 10 days or so he has no energy so at the present time it’s play it all by ear
