Hi Everyone. Thank you for all your wonderful notes. We are sad to say Tom passed away quietly and peacefully surrounded by his family and his two boys - his cats Braddach and Callum - resting next to him. A private family burial and event will be held in his native island of Skye in Scotland. I...

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let everyone know Tom will be moving to a hospice facility in the next few days. He needs full time medical care at this point and we recognize that family can't provide the support he needs. Thanks again for all your very kind notes and emails. On a different...

Hi Everyone- Thank you so much for all your wonderful messages of support. Tom surprisingly (and happily!) remains with us cheerful and upbeat as always. The doctors remain amazed at his ability to hang in there and his beautiful dignity and grace during these times. He wanted to make sure (and...

Hi everyone. We wanted to wish everyone a very happy New Year. Tom is currently at home and receiving his treatments along with meds to reduce the pain. His memory isn't so great so I will be his mouthpiece from now on. He wanted to thank everyone individually for your wonderful notes. Many of...

Hi Sloth. Tom and I send our most sincere condolences on your loss. It is my hope you enjoyed many remarkable times with your fiancé and can focus on these during this time of overwhelming grief. Aeschylus once wrote: "He who learns must suffer. Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls...

Hi everybody. Thanks so much for your comments. We spent the holidays at home with friends and family. Tom has been a remarkable patient always with a smile or laugh for everyone. He's sleeping more now from the medicine and we know he's slowly fading. We hope everyone had a safe, healthy and...

Hi everyone. We just wanted to let everyone know that it appears the meds didn't work so we are going to take Tom home so he spend his remaining time with family and friends. His spirits are remarkable and he continues to be cheerful, helpful and supporting us more then we support him. I will...

Hi Brandon. We were so pleased to hear about your Mum. Our best wishes for improvement in your health now. Kindest regards. Lori and Tom

Hi Everyone. This is Lori. I had the pleasure of reading all your comments to Tom and stating everyone's names. He clearly enjoyed it as his blood pressure dropped and his pulse slowed. Much less agitation. Thank you for all your notes as they mean so much to him. Thanks again. No medical...

HI Everyone. This is Lori. Tom has been unconscious for about the last week but we read to him everyday, keep him entertained, and hope he pulls through. I read to him from the site here last week and he seemed to enjoy it. You can see his BP and heart rate go down. We have been very busy here...

Happy Birthday John!

I'm very sorry to hear this. These types of prognoses are never easy to accept and very difficult to worth through. Spend the time with your Mom in the way that best brings love and comfort to both of you. My thoughts are with you and your family. - Tom

Congratulations! Here's to wee Liam's success in the world. He's a handsome devil.

Thank you guys. It's Tom here. I'm not actually that tough. Just more stubborn and pissed off. It's been a long month but it's seems I've beaten off the meningitis and pneumonia and I'm ready to get started on my new treatment. Feeling tired but resolute in thinking about opening that 2015...

Good luck PB. Hoping everything is a successful can be.

Thanks everyone. Tom's 11th night in the hospital. Been pretty quiet lately. The fevers have been brought down to about 103 and he's starting to breath on his own with out the O2. Fingers crossed but we hope to start up the targeted therapy again this week and begin the cancer battle anew. He's...

Hi Gang. This is Lori. Tom's been pretty out of it the past 48 hours as he developed spinal meningitis and then pneumonia. He's had a few febrile seizures which gave us a scare, but he's now getting antivirals, antibiotics, fluids, and pain meds to help break the fevers. When I spoke to him...

Yes. My Braddach always knows after my treatments to sit with me and my blanket. His unconditional love is one of the most extraordinary cures I have available.

Thanks everyone. I've been fighting high fevers of 104-105 which apparently turn you yellow and orange. I'm very tired and don't feel great, but I'm pretty sure I'm giving as good as I get. Since I've survived cancer so far, there's no way I'm going to die of spinal meningitis. I enjoy reading...

I woke up this afternoon after my treatments to find a therapy cat curled up in my bed with me. Apparently he got loose in the hospital and decided to spend the afternoon with me. Made my whole day.
