For many of us who are here for more than two years may remember Ian (@ianrm ) and Kathie (@kathiecb), the couple who are full of wits and kindness. Two years ago due to Ian’s health, both stopped posting.
Almost two years ago Ian (young and healthy) was diagnosed with cancer in esophagus and upper stomach. Ian had surgery last year but unfortunately failed. Last week or so, Ian had his last chemo that failed to stop the tumours growing. He is now waiting for possible clinical trials
I fortunately got in touch with him recently and found he is as funny as ever (who would say “chemo is funny?”) and a true gentleman without bitterness.
I have asked Ian’s permission to post this message (he does not like intruding into other people’s life). But we are a caring communities, aren’t we? Some of you may know treatments or healing methods that may be helpful, please get in touch with Ian through his page ( http://365project.org/ianrm/365#post-comment) if you prefer, or post a photo with gentle and loving wish in this page to him.
I have been meditating for years and I am a true believer of power of the mind. I am calling upon you who have been following Ian and Kathie and also who is yet to know them to send your love to Ian by saying the powerful healing words of your choice, or simple say “Ian, Heal”. Please don’t underestimate the power of your kind messages.
What a hearfelt story, my thoughts are with him, I hope him strenght at this difficult time, I am not fortunate to know him but he seams to be a great guy. Beautiful pic
Thank you for sharing. I am newer in the community and I didn't have the chance to meet Ian and Kathie. But I'm with you about the power of the mind and the power of the good. Will do.
I do agree in the power of the mind! With all things not just sickness but that is where it can help! I don't know them having been with 365 or over 5 years but there it is... So many friends and there is no end to friendship! I do like the words, 'gentle and loving' and so hopefully they can feel that through my communication to make them feel relaxed and happy with whatever confronts them!
A beautiful image Yao. Thank you for sharing Ian's story. Please accept my sincere and heartfelt wishes to both Ian and Kathie. Such a kind and caring community is 365 Xx
