sorry to hear that mate, cant really add to what others have said..... thank you for letting us know. Fight the fight!


I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

I have no idea what to say apart from that I am sad to hear this news.  :crying:
It was a pleasure to have known you.
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

Can only mirror what the others have said.
Pop them pills and prove 'em wrong, go find that lady and get her secret.

My heart breaks reading them posts. You seem like you posses such a strong character and I think that will only help you going forward.

Praying the medication helps extend the median and we see you at LAN in the future. Best wishes pal. Mike & Family.

Hey Twyst, I've not gamed with you very much but thank you for sharing your blog posts,
QuoteNot many people get the chance to say goodbye like this I guess, but here it is.
I am truly proud to be in a community with members who have guts like this.

All I can really do is echo what others have posted so eloquently above. So sorry to hear that and your blog is a tough read. Thinking of you and the family Roy and let's hope those pills come good!

That is really sad news, cancer takes too many lives far too soon!  I hope you and your family are able to enjoy the time you have left and that it's a lot longer than expected.

Hi Roy

This little gaming community of ours is a family of sorts to me and, although we never got to actually game much together, I do feel that someone close to me is hurting. So I echo the heartfelt good wishes that others have expressed and I sincerely hope that your body's defences can pull off a ridiculous headshot to take down this ******* disease.

Even knowing the way this was going, that second blog post was a tough read after the optimism in the first.

I'm normally good with words, but at moments like this the right ones evade me. All I can do is echo the sentiments of the others that have written here before me, and hope that you are on the winning end of the odds and get as much comfortable time with your family as possible.

Should it not go your way, may the gods be waiting with cold drinks and hot food when you arrrive.

Hey Twyst/Roy

I'm really sorry to hear this and I can't begin to imagine what your going through my thoughts go out to you and your family, I know too many people who have been affected by cancer myself included lost my grandmother a month ago to lung cancer. I managed to make a positive out of a negative as such and raised some money myself for Macmillian by shaving my legs, now I don't recommend any man does this as it's rather strange and made my legs very sensitive for about a week.

Stay strong Roy.

There is very little I can say that has not already been said except to emphasise it in abundance.

Wishing, thinking and preying for you and your family through these terrible times. Hopefully the pills will have an effect and we get to see you at another lan for some laughs and joy. Raising my glass to you sir....

The blog is a good example to all to check their own body and also get your better halves to do the same to try and find these things. Seriously don't be worried about being prodded and examined as it is so important.

Another update for you all.

I'll try and get back into New World again with you all soon, but for some reason I'm struggling to find the motivation to hit 60 in that game and I don't know why.
